Class Balance will it ever exist at least to a fair degree?

When is monk ever a better pick over a warrior or dragoon in any content currently out?

[Rogue]

I never saw any monk out DD my BLM, in anything.

Taking 4 BLM and nuking 5-10 mobs down in 3 seconds with fire is alot more preferable to taking MNK or DRG.

and then BLM has a twitch stun which can be very very usefull, especially when you have 3-4 blms.

sorry but blm > all

Can monk do content? sure they can, but i LOL everytime i see one get one-shoted by coincounter or die from eruptions when hes in the middle of his combo.

dont get me wrong, i would love to take me Dragoon to everything but im not blind to the fact that multiple ranged players (specifically BLM) is far more efficient.

And its obvious allmost every other player realises this when im constantly asked to go BLM when i have DRG geared up... and that is the real problem.

Monk is currently close to the worst not bringing anything except nice kite powers to fights which isn't enough to make up for the rest of its shortcomings

You basically want to take no dmg when fighting. You have two options now, go play a ranged dps or play on a private server where you can do what ever you want. I dont see the point of having fun doing these type of battles without any risk. They might as well have an NPC outside giving away free boss items.

In FFXI the AoE range of some mobs were huge (30 yalms) that even some range jobs got hit and I never heard anyone complain about the AoE there. People knew what to expect, so either run away or take the damage and hope your healers can keep up. Thats how a game should be! Thats why we have healers, tanks, range and melee dps. Its all about making a perfect balance in your group and adapting to what you have.

Thats the funny thing, if ranged dps took damage it wouldnt make a difference if you took melee, as it stands right now is you are much more vulnerable as melee, and on top of that the BLM will STILL out dps you..

maybe if melee didnt have to <run away> for over half the fight then they would out dps the blm.

Lol looking at his Lodestone he hasn't beaten Darkhold/Aurum Vale or Cutter's cry so i seriously doubt he knows anything about how amazing monk is at those fights

[Dokuton-Razortaru]

Don't care how great monk is at those fights, they're horrible in Ifrit.
