Class Homogenization.... Why do you want it?

Secondly the ramp up part of DRG is huge and comes close to a MNK going to GL2. A DRG starts out with HT-PH-FR-ID-DE-CT for 1 buff/1 debuff and 3 DoTs, thats roughly similar to a MNK doing ToD-FR-BS-TS-DM-DK for 1 buff/1 debuff and 3 Dots. Sure you are not at GL3 by then but you have placed all your important stuff in exactly the same time and GL3 will then come by itself at which point you will easily outdamage the DRG.

Not to nitpick, but that's not a good comparison. Monks should not use Fracture or ToD before GL3. Demolish works because it moves the stance, and getting to GL3 is the top priority. Therefore monk ramp up must include 3 cycles and then the 3 dots (roughly 22s). At which point you are outdamaging the DRG, so you're right on that point but you can't condense it like in your example.

Otherwise, I agree with you. From what I know, DRGs are a close second in difficulty. SMN is medium skill at best, I don't think they're above DRGs but they are above BRDs and BLMs.

I agree with you there, i just chose this specific rotation for comparisons sake. Although i do like to start with ToD/PH sometimes, while the tank is still busy with positioning.
