No a piority system would be drg type that has a sequence you follow base on 3-4 key factors.

Mnks have to predict ahead since their priority doesn't work, because mnks are stuck into a time conundrum.

That's why mnks will clip everything depending on if they want to preserve GL/dot/buffs vs damage.

Let's say you attack from the front for any reason. There is no priority system there Every decision seems logical just that you have to predict ahead.

Example would be Front facing conundrum:
2: DK vs boot. Boot won't crit but has a higher potency, yet DK has a debuff, with lower potency

What do you do? Will you get a rear opportunity next or a flank opportunity or neither?

Can you predict which move you want to use?

Mnk have to live with decisions like that by predicting the future.
