    People often overlook the excellent utility of Monk. Dragon Kick is amazing mitigation, and full Mantra really eases the burden on Healers during raid wide AOE damage.

    People really don't understand Ninja that well. It's not overly powerful, so much as Dragoon is lacking right now. For example Ninja's high potency and fewer positional attacks are to balance Ninjutsu taking about a GCD to execute, and Huton does no damage by it's self.

    For now, yes, Dragon Kick doubles as personal damage ability as well as an (unintended) magic damage mitigator*. Mantra is really useful for T12 adds phase once the stacks start reaching double digits during the third phase.
    Both these issues will solve themselves when the players get more geared for it, however. Thus monk utility is only temporary.

    * It's up all the time anyway if the monk knows what he/she's doing, regardless of the intelligence debuff or not.
