Dragoons need to be buffed...

Indeed, they lose potency, but are able to keep up both GL and Twin buff. Not to mention, what happens when you stack two Monks in a group ?

Just like how you're able to keep up both Heavy Thrust and Disembowel? Indeed Monks have better synergy with each other compared to Dragoons since they only need 1 to keep up Dragon Kick while Dragoons have to use Disembowel to get to Chaos Thrust but a good group would take both to avoid wasted gears. I wish my group was MNK DRG BRD SMN/BLM so any gears dropped are claimed but we'll work with what we've got.

Need only check the results of BG and their Monk parsing 475 was it ?

Proof? And what ilevel? I'd love to do 475. o.O Though my tanks might not appreciate it. -.-"

Dragoon positionals are mandatory, though. If a heavy thrust misses the flank or impulse drive misses the rear, this halts the dragoon's entire rotation. Missing a single flank/rear for a monk is only a temporary potency loss as it does not interrupt your combo or rotation.

Back on topic. I wouldn't say no to a shorter gap closer but dont' feel dragoons really need a dps boost.

And that's the trade off you have to make. Mandatory positionals but only 2 skills required or non-mandatory positionals but 6 skills depend on it. It's a DPS loss regardless.
