Monk should be more rewarding

[Grimm08]

As someone who has played Monk since I started, and dedicated quite a lot of time to it, I can attest to the fact that there does need to be a bit of a buff. While I agree, during a static fight, where the boss just stands there and takes it, my DPS is always the highest in the party. But in fights where the boss runs/jumps away, it is exceedingly difficult to keep Greased Lightning up. Monk is advertised by everyone to be the highest DPS in the game, hands down, no arguments, game over, but that just isn't the case with most of the higher content fights, like primals. An increase in the duration would be awesome, by a couple seconds, or the stacks only falling off one at a time every 12 seconds, I would be ok with that too.

If you can quote to me the source of Yoshi-P sayin all of that, then ill agree with you, until then this is just not true no matter how you look at it. If we are on the subject of making up statements on how monk should play and what monk is, let me be the first to say that i dont believe Monks are built to keep GL3 stacks full time. You do crazy sustained dmg in bursts though. You said it yourself, you destroy dps when yo are able to tank and spank a fight. Any other fight you are balanced with everyone else. Dont you think that signifies that maybe, just maybe, you arent supposed to have GL up full time all the time? Monks are far from crap DPS the fact that this thread exisits is just bad.PLay your class, play it well, and being replaced for a DRG will never happen, Never.
