Monk should be more rewarding

[Sygmaelle]

I don't really have any kind of problem on levi EX as a monk, just play cleverly ! that and, you always got the time, except for the single caster add, to build to at least GL 2 before botherin to do your next move.

Any more rewarding & we would break the game with our damage.

Not just levi, in general is the topic

I know right. Monk may be the strongest melee in the game by a huge margin, but I think we're missing the big picture here, and that's how hard it is to keep up greased lightning in PvP! WHAT GIVES!!!

Except for when it happens in intervals less than 180 seconds from the start of the fight(just about anything that isn't Twintania, haven't been in t6< yet.)

Im but a low level monk, but in making the comparison between monk and dragoon I havent seen a few things mentioned. This is all theorycrafting, let me know if Im missing something.
1. Mnk has better party support through enhanced mantra and the INT reduction on dragon kick. Enhanced healing and reduced boss damage vs buffing one of the weakest dps? Mnk seems to play better with others.
2. Mnk has more damage multipliers over dragoon, leading to increased limit break damage. Most parties want to bring one melee dps for lb, so why not the one that can push more damage?

Limit Break damage is purely based on the weapon damage values of every party member. It is entirely independent of the player that uses it, except for determining what type of limit break to use based on said player's job.

That is why in a party with a well geared MNK/DRG and a relatively poorly geared MNK/DRG, it is customary to have the lesser-geared one do the LB. If deciding between a MNK and a DRG, it is customary to let the DRG do it, so the MNK can maintain GL3.

The job needs some very needed tweaks and one thing I would like to see is greased lightning moved as a passive effect instead of something activated and then afterwards looking over the positional requirements of the job because it needs some serious tweaking. Its the only class that I've seen that has the biggest issues dpsing in the game.

GL3 needs to be passive? Lmao no it doesn't.
Monk is purposely built around GL3 falling off and finding ways to try to keep maximum uptime.
And positional requirements need to be looked at... Lol why? Because you're to lazy or terrible at the game to deal with them ?

Most of us here like the way mnk plays

Going with that logic, if we're that "game-breaking" then we should always be the "go-to" class in EVERY situation since we just "break" the game

While I am in total agreeance of this, it is still possible, but semi difficult to maintain GL3 while using a LB, especially Level 3, you have to have a higher skill speed and get on your moves the absolute moment you can.
