Are MNKs still desired?

It is more around the 2% range. If it was a flat 10% increase every minutenit would be 1,67%, a small delay sometimes doesn't matter as long as you get the same amount of TA's off in a fight. What makes it more than 1,67% is the fact that players sync their cooldowns with TA, let alone the opener.

It's can't be more than 1.67%, it's a 10% buff with 16% uptime, it can't ever exceed that. Any time it's delayed reduces it's effectiveness as that translates to decreased uptime. All I'm saying is it's very unlikely to be up every 60 sec without fail, so the effective dps increase is less than 1.67% overall.

As for syncing CDs. I understand the concept of synergy, however, I just don't see how it can possible increase more than 10% since that's exactly what it says it does. Like, if I pop B4B and have a TA, that's 30% + 10%, it doesn't magically become 42% because they are executed at the same time.
