Gap between MNK and DRG dps widening

[Brainberry]

Yeah the disparity is insane lol

Not even at 110 the MNK in our FC does 500 in T8.

Its nuts.

It's really simple honestly, Drgs can get to max dps within a couple moves, Mnks take a good while longer, so in fights where u cant attack anything for a bit, mnk will lose a lot of dps.

Pefect Balance, Demolish, 2x Twin strikes. instant GL3 XD

But yep, in fights where you can lose GL3 eg, getting eaten with honey glazed. Getting shrieked can have a big impact on DPS for MNK.

But reason DRG is behind MNK is because they don't need to maintain anything similar to GL3 and that they have the second highest physical defence only surpassed (of course) by tanks.

Did you mean Snap Punch? Thought Twin Snakes only gave attack buff not GL... Don't play Monk long enough to know.

In majority of ScoB MNK is capable of pushing so far ahead of the DRG that the damage increase to Bard from Disembowel doesn't lift a candle to it. DRG still has its place in fights where fighting has ceased, but a good MNK will always do superior damage to DRG (unless RNG hates them). One thing you will more likely never see is 2 DRGs, but people stack MNKs all the time for a reason.

I think it's all about job utility. Sure, a Monk may out-DPS a Dragoon...but a Dragoon provides a buff to other piercing DPS classes. Sure, a bard doesn't provide as much DPS as a Black Mage, but they have the tools that allow for Black Mages and Summoners to output more DPS, as well as regenerate MP for the casters.

So essentially, what one job loses out for solo-play (DPS), they gain in team-play (team roles). That's just my opinion.

People need to stop with the disembowel buffs bards bs. Monks are so easy to play and do far more single target damage than not only Dragoons but every other class in the game. Monks need to have every buff they received in 2.1 rolled back immediately.

Pretty sure you're a troll, but... I'll respond anyways.

Rolling back those buffs would cripple the class and make Monks immediately go to bottom of the DPS list.

Seriously.

Think about what you say before you say them.

No sir I am serious. Monks have been overpowered for so long now you and many other Monks have developed a sense of entitlement towards being overpowered. Rolling them back would far from cripple them.
