im not even sure why monk and ninja still need to be compared. In the hands of a top player I've seen no significant difference between the 2 with or without trick attack. The main point is ever application of huton lowers ninja dps and any breaks in combat can lower monk +slow start. Top player know how to manage and mitigate or negate dps drops. In a 3 minute parse ninja should out dps monk. Get a paeon or goad and make it 10minutes (random number) and monk should come out on top. I haven't seen a fight where a 3 minute or 10 minute dummy parse means anything other than who has the bigger epeen. All this tread is doing is make players think monk isnt viable (the same thing that happened when everyone said positionals were hard).
The lesson to learn here is play what you like and get good at it. It's still not perfect but they did a good job at balancing the classes (I said not perfect) ;P
