I'll be the exception then. With PB monk aoe is far better than given credit for. And even without PB it's still competitive. GL plus twin is still a huge 42% damage increase on top of a attack speed. Ninja has a flat 20% that only affects death blossom and if you want the extra attack speed then you waste an aoe attack. obviously the 10 seconds of the PB is better than drg or ninja aoe no matter how you decide to calculate it (yeah I said it. Ever seen the difference between a crit and non-crit attack? Not quite there but that's what gl3 does) but the low arm of the destroyer potency plus the non aoe move in between each rotation makes calculating a bit harder without PB . Also a full gl3 howling fist is far stronger than katon and even doton (the trade-off is 3 katon/doton to a monks 1 howling)
