But a person's satisfaction and a Job's overall DPS viability doesn't 100% coincide with one another. Yes I agree MNK old(and current) kit contradicts itself in multiple ways.
With it's current position within all of the DPS it's just crazy and it shouldn't be as high as it is for such a easy and party friendly Job. MNK was badly designed from ARR I agree, though turning a broken Job into a actually BROKEN Job is a huge issue. Since design changes dont usually come to Jobs until the next expac (excluding maybe 1 per expac like NiN upcoming changes) we probably wont get a redesigned MNK until 6.0 so it needs to be nurfed into place for balance.
Nurfing one Job with do alot more good then buffing the other 4-7-10-12 Jobs withing fixing the MNK in the room.
