Monk should it be "Nerfed" ?

[Shurrikhan]

Unless content was somehow always meant to be tuned around 4x a seemingly overpowered class, yes, it would have to be nerfed for us to have job balance without also having power creep.

Monk deserves a sensible, intuitive, cohesive, and balanced kit. At present it has none of those things.

Edit: To be clear, it doesn't matter a bit what MNK's pDPS is or that it's competing with BLM at present, only that its (and BLM's) rDPS are so above all but DRG's. With the new buffs, SAM and NIN may close the gap with the top 3, but that still leaves half the roster as second-class jobs. It's best that we just pick a target rDPS and bring jobs up or down to that point, with only faint nudges based on other significant attractors such as Verraise, to that rather than arguing on a basis of "rDPS-heavy" vs. "selfish" classes. The distinction between the two is absolutely irrelevant to balance. Only their rDPS, i.e. their total contribution or how much they bring to a given fight, actually matters.
