    Hey Zdenka!

    Truly enjoy watching BG stream coil through Hadley + Yoi's channels!

    I agree with most of your claims, but I do have a bone to pick with your T4 statement. I just don't think there is a way a MNK can outdmg a BLM on T4 (granted both classes are being played correctly) unless the MNK is given some form of special treatment.

    Take Arin for example, the lead he gains from the Phase 1, the supplemental Phase 4 AOE, and somewhat unlimited resource of MP is just too much momentum - MNKs would have to use rockbreaker with a supplemented TP song be able to keep up.

    Maybe I'll edit that parse and black out everything but MNK and BLM and post it. On that particular Turn 4 MNK was 364 DPS and the BLM was 300-330 something

    You run out of TP at the end for about 10 seconds, but if you get Paeon for 5 seconds you don't run out. IF i had Soul Voice Paeon and that let me do Arm of the Destroyer in addition to Rock Breaker, and maybe the BLM/SMN do a tad less DPS then MNK can hit the highest DPS numbers on Turn 4 out of every class. People say MNK's AoE DPS sucks, but thats only because it runs out of TP

    No no, I agree that MNK is capable of 360+ as I've seen it been done multiple times even without Paeon, but I meant 400+ was a bit of a stretch if you have a BLM dpsing with you as well .

    360+ DPS for MNK on Turn 4 generally doesn't happen in a group where everyone is doing the most damage they can because the Spiders die too quick, typically you get capped somewhere around 330 DPS. Its the same reason that the one parse of a SMN? doing 400+ DPS on Turn 4 is because the spiders lived a freakishly long time because their MNK was single targeting them down most likely. (in the case of this 360 dps on MNK, its because the BRD wasn't aoeing the adds)

    If you meant on a fight in general for MNK to do over 400 DPS, that little intro ball in Turn 1 is the funniest example because it only lasts for 45-60 seconds, huge % of buff uptime.
