Why Monks need a Buff + Petition!

You people just don't get the point. Monks are meant to be the hardest DPS class and gain the highest DPS. Make it easier then your DPS should be lower

On parser as mnk i'm always on top dmg (not the FFXIV-APP parser, logrep 2.0 one), one of the bard in my group as almost the same amount of ilvl stuff, in the same case of equipments.

I don't think our dps is low unless we lose to much our GL3 The downtime is killing us, and i must say our enmity generation may be a problem, making us slow down the DPS and losing all 3 stack of GL...

MNK need a buff, but defensive buff, some utilities for the whole group or atleast a small part of the group (thoses that are in the melee). (i did throw some idea somewhere~).

Most of DD class can lower their enmity (Mnk have nothing), does jump from drg erase it totally ?

Nah but it is usually enough to drop from #1 to #2. Also because you have to run back lol

We just need a retreat move, let shoulder tackle keep the stun.

Uuh, they are the lowest DPS in a tank and spank fight. In fact they are the lowest DPS even in fights with minor/moderate movement

Just give monk GL 4 and we can end all this.

not unless the bard is retarded.. I am always the one of the top if not the top DPS in all my groups and i have more server first skills then anyone on my server. Also was world 5th on elevator... i do not play with bad players... however a good bard does much more damage then these forum QQers can ever do

I think monks are exceptional dps, my only complaint is,
*lack of aoe ( I know we are a class that focus only on single targets, but atleast increase arm of the destroyer to 80-100 potency.)
*when a target runs the animation on monks attack get canceled, lowering my dps.
* "haymaker" - having alot of potential to add a much higher dps, however it lacks in dungeons because most of the time if we have a good tank, you'll never utilize it because you'll never get hit. (They should enable it after the third or forth snap punch combo. Just to keep it viable in dungeons.)

Or you just don't have a monk that can keep up or has a reasonable skill level as your top bards.


Melee was designed to do the most DPS but also takes the most risk and skill. That is why making it easier for them should result it less DPS. That is how the whole thing was designed. If you all want it easier, why not just make one "DPS CLASS" and everyone can roll that and have the same skill and well, pretty much same everything cause you know, equality.
