Most of DRG and NIN's attacks have no positional requirement, which is a HUGE advantage over monk. Do you know how much dps monk loses without their positionals? A lot, roughly around 30-40% potency loss before buffs.

I seriously tried to play monk in pvp, and it just doesn't work realistically. Getting stacks up is not a problem since a lot of pvp skills have instant stacks or perfect balance effects, its just the positionals. Kudos to monks who dominated though.
