Gap between MNK and DRG dps widening

[ShinkuTachi]

I ToD > PB > Demolish > SP > SP> TS > DK. PB ends, 3 attacks after PB and straight into 3 GL.

Also you can't really keep your rotation static as factors, like having to dodge out of melee range, can affect when your rotation reapplies DoTs. So to maximize you need to adapt your rotation depending on the fly.

Oh, I do. I was more or less describing what I do under circumstances where I don't have to let-up, leave the mob, or stop my rotation for more that a few seconds at a time. My DK, TS, Dem rotation is worked in at any time my buffs and dots are dropping or have dropped. I give those priority.

You don't need a DPS meter to know that MNK DPS is situationally more devastating than other classes. All it takes is simple arithmetic lol.

(Not complaining just stating the obvious)

No. Not how I felt they should. It's how they should be performing given their selected job and given the numbers provided for each job's ceiling that has already been well established. If she out dpses every drg and smn she comes across, then they need to get better. Context.

Saying context again isn't going to suddenly change the subject. Other factors (gear level, situations in battle, party composition) are involved then them just "needing more training".

Agree it's all based on how the fight plays out.

Yet some players don't want balance though they just want their job to shine every time.

Players will never be happy with their DPS as long as a different job is capable of pulling ahead. There's 1 tool that forces this obsession.

I feel that you are jealous and trying to make a issue of a non issue.

Monk = Fast Dps, Combo Breaker, Low Dmg, Less Agro making, No TP rape.
Dragoon = Average Dps, Mini OT tank for Agro, Bonus Dmg for Bards, TP rape.

I play MNK because MNK is fun. If they were the worst DPS in the game I'd still play a MNK. Dragoons are boring.

Says the person who doesn't even have a DRG to 50. All classes are boring at lvl 30.

What do you mean by "TP Rape"? I'm assuming it means to become tp starved and if that is the case, monks run out of TP way faster than DRGs. Also the low damage thing as monk confuses me a bit, can you elaborate on how their hits are low? Another thing, how do they have less aggro making when they tend to either be 2nd on hate or 3rd if there is an OT?

Depends on the skill speed of the drg tbh. I actually, in my current gear sets, will run out of tp faster on my drg than my monk. This is due to my drg having my skill speed than my monk atm. (t9 spear will change this if it will ever drop for me!!!)

Either way I agree I don't get why most people assume monk attacks are weak >_> I see myself hitting hard on auto-attacks when i'm on monk.

If you're party composition includes a DRG / BRD , that's where your DPS is offset against a MNK's higher DPS thresh hold. IF DRG's were to do as much damage as a MNK then the general cookie composition would always be present and MNK's would fall short of favor in terms of selection.

Use your noggins.

False. A well played monk does much more damage than a equally played dragoon. The difference is so great a monk + bard > drg + bard.
