Issue with double standards with Se and defining between dps and support.

Using the current balance as a starting point, for increased damage I'd say you need submit to a decrease in utility. Even DRG which has great dps is behind MNK, monk's utility is marginal at best, you bring them for damage only. This is the way the game is balanced, we don't get awesome utility and awesome dps in the same jobs.

You also seem to be disregarding the fact that nearly every raid group wants a bard or machinist for their utility not because of their dps. A lot of groups will even put up with less than average dps out of a bard/machinist because they want them there for utility.

1. That would be something I'd be open to.

2. I wouldn't downplay Dragon Kick. An Int debuff is something that nearly every raid group desires as well.

3. Drg has awesome dps and Battle Litany. Battle Litany is an awesome utility imo.
