My top 10 reasons why Monk is the best class ever.

Also undesireable in endgame raiding cuz useless party dps contribution.....buuuuuurnnn

Them being undesirable is greatly exaggerated, perhaps more so in cutting edge world firsts- but even then we've seen them there too.

Using some rough data from FFLOGs.
Lets use WAR as a baseline for number groups because almost every group has at least 1.
2712 WARs cleared A12S in the database
MNK 1312
Nin 1815
DRG 2099
BLM 1547

While the data is muddied by RF clears you can still draw some insights. So MNK accounted for less than half of the groups that clear, considering there is a significant number of MNKs that are alts of players that play other things and we are already in the catchup patch (so theoretically, people shouldn't care about comps anymore).

P.S: A12S is considered one of the most difficult fights imaginable for BLM and even they are more desired than MNK lol.
