Most Wanted Melee DPS at Endgame?

[BamBam0827]

Between Monk and Dragoon, who is wanted most at endgame?

[Lemon8or]

The one with higher player skill.

[Atreides]

That really depends on the player behind the job.
Finding a good melee is no easy task.

I see more Dragoon than Monk.

But I prefer being Monk.

Depends on skill level. There are also factors in a fight that can make a difference. With a fight like most of coil where there is a constent ability to hit mnk does very well. In a fight like leviathan with a lot of downtime mnk losing GL is a big downer.

DRG is pretty solid / reliable in most fight granted if the monk can just sit there and endlessly beat on the boss he will out dps the DRG with equivilent gear/skill almost every time.

Monk is a lot faster game play having such low gcd with GL at full

Balance is pretty good right now so choose w/e interest you more

Monk has high (relative) top speed, slow (relative) acceleration.
Dragoon has moderate top speed, moderate acceleration.

A fight with mechanics that involve not dealing damage (most primals jumping) tends to favor DRG slightly. A fight that is more or less a straight DPS race (most of Coil) tends to favor MNK slightly. Both are wanted, but a large amount of players tend to not play DPS jobs correctly so there is a negative stigma attached to most DPS as a whole.

Dragoon as it buffs bard and has better burst.

[enil]

Either bring both (1xDRG or 1xMNK)
Or bring one person with gear for both - (accessories are shared, who else is the off-class melee loot suppose to go to?)
This lets you have access to both DRG/MNK if any fights favor the particular class.

[Vertiz]

Goons have better burst & more comp synergy. Monks have much higher sustained DPS over a full fight. Monk's have the highest single target DPS in the game. Both have their benefits and between an equally skilled monk & dragoon the choice is difficult. In the end, take the better player.

Dragoon

Because they let bards do more damage and every group has at least one bard.
