DRK + War

[Rhaja]

I do wonder what MNK will be given to remain relevant. So far the only valid reason I've ever seen for including a DRK over another tank is "So you dont have to take a monk and can take a dps that has more utility". In other words, MNK is in DRGs position from ARR of not bringing anything.

And yes, the only reason to bring a DRK is so you don't have to bring a MNK. No amount of whining about how "great" reprisal is will change that. Reprisal is a ok move that can only be used while MT and is overwhelmingly un-reliable to the point where it cant be used as a reasoning for bringing a DRK. And reprisal is the only unique thing the class brings.

MNK's still do a respectable amount of damage, and people will want Int down without a DRK? Who knows, maybe Alexander will be crazy unlike Coil.

So can DRG and Nin. Except Drg is like top tier DPS right now or very close and Ninja is a superior TP regain and can make everyone do 10% more damage.

The only thing Monk has is that healing up by 20%. Which could be good for progression when you don't know when something is about to come flying down and hit you and the raid for a lot of damage. Ie: Good means to recover and give the healer's breathing room. But assuming you've got a paladin in the group, Divine Vile probably gives about the same breathing room, but 30 seconds more on the timer.
