As a MNK main, it pains me to say that MNK skills works against it, so much that is actually baffling that it doing as well as it is. I honestly dont think that any other class (could be wrong here) has skills that actually punish you for using them, its bemusing really but on the main topic, BLM is/has always been a very good class to play, the FF14 team clearly cares a lot about it and it shows, DRG, NIN, DNC and SAM are pretty solid while not being wow worthy they are fun, BRD seems fun, a buff might be required here but it feels okay to play. MCH is fucking weird. SMN is broken damage wise and super clunky to use, RDM seems to be in a good spot with some complains about AOE.

Over all MNK still plays like ass and performs like shit while being a pretty execution heavy and party dependant and all of that is just to reach kind of average performance (What was that about making party compositions more flexible yoshi-p?) while BLM sits a the top (at least mechanically) as is customary, so basically the same, or very close, as always.

Hopefully they will improve MNK a bit...i mean probably not but a little MNK can dream and hope.
