Gap between MNK and DRG dps widening

[GurrenLagann]

I guess people are aware how much dps a MNK is capable to dish out at iLvl 110 vs a DRG with the same iLvl.

Why all the love to MNK and not DRG?

I would love to know this too. I'm not trying to be bias or anything (Because I main Drg) but I think Drg is most efficient because of Disembowel. This move helps Birds pull out a few extra Dps. Not like it does anything but that's just me.

Only reason why I think people want Monk more than Drg because of loldrg (Their Jumps and how they die because of it) and maybe their Mantra (?).

Birds

Can I play a Bird, too?

As for why people would want Monk over DRG, jumps are a possibility. Spineshatter and Dragonfire aren't -as- risky to use as the regular Jump, but since it is still an animation lock... Yeah.

Monk indeed has Mantra, which is nice, but not much else from what I know. Probably Monk for fights without much pause to keep greased lightning up most of the time (this is the key between a decent monk and a good monk I feel, too, since it's your main damage buff) and then DRG for the more pause-heavy fights in combination with a Bard for Disembowel bonus.

That's just how I see it of course. I've played Dragoon waaaay more than Monk so I may be forgetting some crucial things here.

Yeah I call them Birds ;p. But yeah in my honest opinion it's probably Dragoon's jumps that makes most people don't want a Dragoon in their party or favouritism.

Not a day goes by without a lolDRG jumping to his death. lol

I've probably used Elusive Jump more to get out of hairy situations than using Jump and dying... lol.
