you can do the same, if you want to pull up to each boss go with people you like, and of like minded intent.

also not ever melee has good aoe skills, monk being 1 of them. some melee do good some don't. SE has been slowly down grading aoe's to stop us from large pulling.

"Not every melee has good aoe skills, monk being one of them" there is no misunderstanding this, you are exactly saying monk has no good aoe skills. What you meant means nothing when your words, taken exactly as they are, mean something different. No good skills =/= skills not as good. And yeah, saying not good is basically saying its bad.

So yes, people were correcting you on exactly what you said, which MNK has good AoE, because it has decent initial burst with no fall-off per mob count. And SE is trying to curb the accelerated growth AoE potential had in the past; scale it down for those who were imbalanced monsters in regards to it. It can be claimed they are trying to neuter it, but then we see something like WAR getting beefed up lifesteal on Steal Cyclone which is something that supports higher counts.

In terms of ability efficiency, collecting as many mobs as you can for your burst window using your buffs has much more value as many dps lost secondary cooldown buffs.
