How does MNK AoE compare?

If the bard knows what they're doing, monk can't compete. Bard AoE is stronger than machinists.

It is potentially stronger if rng ticks in your favor, however a Bishop turret can deal consistent pseudo auto attacks to an entire group, if hypercharged that damage is DOUBLED.


BRD has 2 aoe gcd, rain of death(rng to use more which requires applying two gcd dots) & flaming arrow.

MCH has the same potency 2 gcds(6 which are 20 potency stronger due to ammo so 120 higher potency than BRD), richochet(not that great for aoe but it helps) & the turret (which already naturally does more than Flaming except had unlimited uptime) & hypercharge (which doubles the turrets damage for 20 seconds)


Mch wins everytime due to the fact that in order to actually get the RoD procs you must use at least one gcd dot for a tiny chance to proc whereas the MCH can aoe. I can see BRD winning with constant RoD procs almost every second.



As for MNK, it has the highest aoe besides BLM/SMN or unless the ranged dps pop every buff. Even still 80% of BLM STILL lose so it requires a lot of skill to out damage a MNK in aoe. This is all from personal experience/knowledge
