I will never understand this idea that certain jobs should get some privilege and be selected over other jobs when building a party. It was terrible in XI, and it's terrible here too. All jobs should bring comparable DPS and and abilities to the table or the design has failed. We should never, EVER, say "no one should ever have the sustained dps a monk does because, because REASONS".
Going by that logic; Why shouldn't all classes be just as good in AoEing like a blackmage?, or utility like bard? Everyone has its uses and situations where they shine the best. Bring a monk to a fight with bosses that jump away or make you move. You'll lose greased lightning and your dps will go down. While a dragoon will still do fine. You have to give up something to gain something. Also dragoon is more tanky right?
