It makes sense to me that monk would have the dps if we can legit assume mantra = raise. It could because those are both very strong abilites. Now if you make BT impacts magical damage to increase your rdps, it means you indirectly buff the casters/smn aswell. It would definitely put mnk in a very strong spot and boost casters at the same time.

Note : my last post was again a response to wereotter which claims again that smn should be tuned down to RDM. It has nothing to do with smn vs mnk.
