    You can clear Final Coil with 4 melee. The jobs aren't imbalanced–the fights are. Granted though, if we merge a little realism into this, a Monk shouldn't be top DPS.

    There's the classic argument for this of "the Monk isn't pushing the deeps by hitting hard, they're pushing it by hitting many many times very fast", but did you notice how this directly translates into the attack animations? Monks have more animations that hit multiple times than any other class, I believe.

    Bootshine: 4 hits
    Twin Snakes: 2 for one
    Dragon Kick: I think this hits twice, but the breakdance could be confusing
    Demolish: 5 hits

    There's also the element of hitting pressure points, ala Touch of Death, but realism really does falter when one considers using such things against robots. Yo, Avatar! I'm going to make your... organs fail? Huh?

    That's right. You are completely correct. Gunpowder and mechanized warfare will forever replace our primitive pointed sticks and clenched fists. I expect no less than a 99% Machinist adoption rate.

    If you are not already looking forward to it, please do.
