I don't want to question your math, i guess it's all correct and respect the time you put into it. I personally assume that a trashmob will barely live any longer than 10 seconds though, so the 3 second nin burst from katon xx kassatsu, katon (crit) is weighted pretty high. That's also the reason I didn't even mention doton for nin aoe, because it's a dps loss if mobs die fast. I also assume that i handle my ninjutsu cooldowns in a way that huton is up at all times, because that's what i do.

Out of interest, where do you take the monk 'burst' from? Do you mean pb + rock breaker spam x5?

i completely understand. but that is also situational. many large pulls, in my experiences, lasts for at least 30 seconds. however, since the lift on item-level sync i have seen some serious damage out there. have even seen a player literally one hit K.O. something before. probably a DRG finishing a Full Thrust combo with a critical. it was a melee player that much i remember.

and yeah Blood for Blood + Perfect Balance with already having Greased Lightning III allows MNK a rather nice period of burst AoE damage. and while Rock Breaker is only 130 potency, MNK attack speed is pretty good. i haven't done the testing, but i imagine during those first 10seconds a MNK should be close to DRG.

Also a note to point out Doom spike is straight Line only not pure aoe, idk about you but most times mobs are clusterfucked around the tank not an easy straight line so most DRGS go for the Heavy Thrust Ring of thorns combo on trash.

yeah. it can get difficult to use Doom Spike at times. i just always try to select the furthest enemy in a mob. it usually does well. and only rarely passes over like 1 or 2 enemies. but it is so worth using over that other combo during Blood for Blood. also Doom Spike is pretty good when you need to stand further away from the enemy, or escape an AoE.

also with Ring of Thorns you have a couple of options. you can either waste Blood for Blood time by trying to combo in to it with Heavy Thrust. and potentially waste even more time by not hitting your directional. or you can waste Blood for Blood entirely by spamming only Ring of Thorns without the combo. but i guess it could still be decent damage. to each their own.

Quit Nin, you're bringing shame to the job.

i am sorry if you didn't feel like reading through my previous wall of text. so i will just say this... the numbers don't lie.
