I WANT TO DPS ON WAR!!

[Shayuki]

Dragoon's sustained DPS is about 5% lower than Monk's. However, Dragoon has much better initial burst and it seriously takes over a minute to Monk's damage dealt to surpass Dragoon because of the enormous lead Dragoon has, unless Monk uses Perfect Balance in which case it only takes like 30 seconds. Dragoon also very rarely needs to move to flank or to rear for his rotation, there's even 15 second stretches where it doesn't matter which direction he attacks from. Dragoon buffing Bard damage is also a rather significant bonus. Monk's main use comes from the healing debuff and also of the fact that if the fight does drag out for a long time, they do out-DPS Dragoons, but not enough to overthrow the additional damage that Bard deals.
