While it's true there are many cases where it's inevitable, and for this reason some fights are just not fit for MNK to perform well in, but it's important for MNK players to look for and recognize opportunities for tricks that will allow them to maintain GL3.

MNK's positionals suffer a large DPS loss when out of position save for like 1 of them... and all of it's skills are positional for single-target. A DRG has only 2 positional skills out of their 8 main skills for single-target. If they miss-position HT they simply hit it again and carry on. If they miss Impulse Drive, they try again and carry on. There's definitely a DPS loss suffered, but I wouldn't say it's any more/less unforgiving than MNK.
