Monk should be more rewarding

People have been saying that forever, but looking at the game as it is now I would argue that another ranged DPS isn't really a priority. Yoshi-P has mentioned it himself, and it makes sense, that the next class/job we'll be getting will be scout/stealth type. Likely looking at a Thief class with Ninja as a job - or something in that area. This would also mean a DPS that does slashing damage as opposed to only tanks (though they may also make it piercing, in which case lol...)

I have reservations that a new class and/or race will be implemented before an expansion. They could...but they would have to tweak what's currently some very carefully crafted content. A new class would have to fit in the narrow window of current roles, and folks wouldn't be very happy about that.
