Can we please stop giving melee bad stigma?

Well, that's true for all except Blm and, to a lesser extent, SMN.
He mentioned that a monk parse for 4-5min would acceptable. The timing was normalized, but as a result it didn't favor MNK, DRG and BRD to some extent.
At the same time, it was meant to stress the resource to some extent.

Unfortunately, no one submitted a better parse for MNK with a shorter time. You have to be wearing BiS anyway.

Forcing a parse with time spent TP starved has no practical meaning though. It's just entirely silly.

I have Allagan Baghnakhs and a full i90 setup (not BiS, but close) and just did my usual parse that involves 2 uses of Invigorate and a single use of Perfect Balance strictly for the opener. No Fracture used. No food. No party buff.

Here is the gear I had on: http://goo.gl/RXKuIa

Comes out to about a 3.5 minute parse. I can't see a MNK parse being much longer without considerable time spent TP starved.

Our FC does something similar, but has a different standard parse setup for each job. What matters is people parsing a job stick to the same standard, but enforcing a standard across all jobs is silly.

I suspect some people think it simulates content, but no... it really doesn't lol. I never spend time TP starved in any content unless I just died after recently using Invigorate for some reason.
