Future changes to Monks in A Realm Reborn: Hopefully an Improvement!

[Velhart]

My ls uses monks for AV, CC, Garuda, Ifrit, Darnus, just about everything! If any class needs changes it should be DRG in my opinion.

Most people use DRG in all of these events. DRG excels in taking down Princess fast in CC. DRG damage is incredible on Garuda, my damage is comparable or better than BLM's. Ifrit Extreme, at least in a few strategies, at least one DRG is needed for the fight. On Darnus also, I believe DRG and MNK are viable options. I think the only one DRG are excluded from is AV, and even then I see DRG's fighting Mizer, and successfully.

Dragoon is fine.

Hmm upon further pondering I guess you're right. I just see DRG as the least used class in current endgame content. However I must say that monk and dragoon are in no way broken.

That's because most people are: "BLM/BRD/WAR SETUP ONLY!" -- This is why you see it as the least used class despite the fact DRG alone is probably the only other melee DD that can attack Ifrit outside of seer range (Just for example of a fight people stack THM/BLM on.) DRGs have no trouble taking down even 2 nails solo in Ifrit Hard.

Ever since SE got rid of low acc penalty on important WS, DRG only improved even more. So the issue, as always, is the playerbase and not so much the job.

True that, I agree 100%! It's those (lazy, short~cut playing, cookie~cutting)WoW player jumping into here standardizing party set up and calling it.
