    I mean we can be pedantic about it to how each gimmick works and how in that sense, none are comparable. But the point from it is not the specifics, but what you clarify in the end. MNK is still the job with the biggest circus to achieve nominal results on par with its peers.
    They are, but false assesment are detrimental to anyone's argument. You want to be percieved as trustfull ? Don't say X job can do Y while it's wrong or inaccurate.

    AC was never compared to Coeurl in the sense that Coeurl should give 30 seconds of duration, or that GL should somehow be bankable to over a minute's stored time.

    Rather, NIN can make or break a ~12% of their DPS with a single decision that costs at most 160 potency. A Monk [1] has no weaponskill control by which to preserve 48% of their damage potential, [2] is dependent on external factors for the full extent of its buff duration (a boss jumping off just before Coeurl strikes gives an effective duration of 12 seconds, not 16), [3] must sacrifice a CD and/or [4] consume up to 3 GCDs of uptime, at a further cost of up to 250 potency in Chakra generation, and [5] can even then only retain that portion if struck by damage within 15 seconds of the boss's return.

    Lose 50 potency relative to AE or up to 160 before oGCD burst relative to SF, or... no actual control anyways, and 4 times the punishment.
