Gap between MNK and DRG dps widening

[Niota]

A Mnk at i107+ is able to deal pass 500dps, while Drg only able to push to 420+ max.

Don't you think this is too unfair to the DRG job?

I'm surprised at this since doesnt DRG have a 330-impact move? Think most monk has is 190. :/ I'd be realy surprised if the fists of fire, greased lightning, and generally quicker skill speed can compensate THAT much.

You would be very surprised then. In a Patchwerk-style fight, Monk is the best damage dealer bar none.

It really does.

Nah. It's because Ninjas are overrated.

Oh wait...

Can DRGs no longer burst far more effectively as MNKs, or are we talking about DPS over a sustained period of time?

Not really with correct cool downs monk burst isn't too different.

Hmmm, I wonder what I'm doing wrong then (outside of times when I use my PB, BfB~IR, STR Pot to burst sometimes). Our DRG in my group can out burst me, but once I have GL3 up and work my rotations, I out DPS my entire raid.

I didn't say monk could out do the drg burst. I was saying it wouldn't be too different, in other works monk isn't too far behind if they have things like perfect balance. Which in the end, still gives monk the advantage.

True; however, I don't agree with the latter part. PB is on its own cooldown (180 sec), so it's not something we can just pop off as we please or something like that. Because of what it does, and its recast, it has to be used pretty wisely.

lol big numbers

DRG will never outDPS MNK.
