    I really dont think you have played DRG much tbh, you are comparing apples to oranges. The basic TT combo is only 20% of what a DRG is doing at endgame, the other 80% are keeping up your DOTs and Buffs and keeping your oGCDs on CD. You say MNK has 3 DOTs to manage, so has DRG: Phlebotomize, Fracture and Chaos Thrust. Thats like saying a SMN is easy to play because he only spams ruin once all DOTs are applied. A DRG cant keep up his buffs if the mob is moving, neither all of his DOTs but can execute his basic combo, a MNK cant get max potency on moving mobs but can place all of his DOTs and Buffs because there is no positional requirement on those.

    It boils down to both doing the same, only differently. I do think that MNK is a bit harder but thats only because an additional amount of buffs is harder to manage than an additional amount of off GCD skills.

    all you can incorporate drgs DoT's into your rotation witho little to no risk of loosing any buffs whatso ever, yoU MIGHT loose heavy thrust if your slow. The chance of loosing GLIII is high, you maybe have a 2 second window to get them up before you can get tier III up if your fast. Yes my point being you can execute your most basic and power combo REGARDLESS of all of other factors with NO RISK of loosing a good chunk of DPS, MNK is NEVER in that position, unless the mob is standing still, also only 2 of DRG's move require position for chaining, you have to move for heavy thrust and impule drive. If you use impulse drive and the mob turns afterward, you do not have to change your rotation whatsoever, your fine. However if a mob turns mid combo for mnk, monk has to change with it.
