Drg has the fastest kill time from the 3 Melee if ninja had fetter it would be a tie, I'm a main monk I know what monk is capable of. But I've also know and have had the pleasure of playing against some of the best drgs that aether data center and primal have to offer and a great drg vs a great monk 9 times out of 10 a drg will take the burst battle. One elm punch is great it's a God send. But it's still rng as to which buff you will be stripping. You are also losing out on one of monks biggest damages buffs in Twin snakes. All my opinions are coming from a premade point of view where coordination is key.

One Ilm Punch goes in order of buffs used , IE , Protect > Heavy Thrust/B4b/IR, depending on the order you put them up. I think all dispel works like this, I could be wrong though. So it's a little RNG but since most people put up their best buffs first..

Yes Dragoon does win the early burst battle, right when all their buffs are up, Monk just takes less time to go back into bursting, while also having more team utility than dragoon.

Losing twin snakes is a non issue. This isn't PvE, just put it back up before you burst. I'd rather take away most of your buffs and completely halt your burst or protection while keeping my own burst CD's fresh than keep twin snakes up a little longer when I can just put it back on whenever I feel like it.

Edit: If I were to make a comparison between Monk burst and DRG burst it would be

Monk burst is available in differing levels of power anywhere between ever 40/60/and 80 seconds as well as on demand Forbidden chakra if someone is around 25%~ health.

Dragoon burst is available on differing levels of power anywhere between every 60/120 seconds however is a bit stronger than Monks burst when everything is up.

Both jobs actually have more burst ability than needed to kill someone from 100-0 quickly and still have CD's for another target.

Monk just has more to it than burst where Dragoon fortunately or unfortunately doesn't.

Dragoon hits harder, Monk hits quicker or rather more often. They're pretty comparable in the burst aspect. It's what Monk has in utility that dragoon does not that sets them apart.

You are wrong. It's random.
