Monk vs Dragoon DPS

[Fire_Lotus]

At the moment Dragoon synergies better with most parties because of the piercing debuff, which increases the damage done by your party's bards.

On paper, Monk should deal more damage, but in actuality, they are relatively equal imo. Monk might even be worse, depending on how the player maintains his buffs, debuffs, and positioning. More often then not, most Monks will lose their Greased Lightning stacks for one reason or another, reducing their DPS by a large margin.
