Yep... no matter how good your monk is the goad rotation should be. Bard > (Other Melee) > Bard (or someone who died). Grats you now learned how to goad properly!

Reasoning: The time bard has to sing paeon is time he could be singing foe for the mage/ninja. That or they could be recovering MP for a ballad that will be needed in a future. This means... the benefit of giving it to a monk first does not out weigh the loss of -20% brd damage + foe requiem.

TLDR: 3 benefit vs 1 by using my goad rotation.
