2 MNK or MNK+DRG, what's best ?

[lololink]

In my FC we have too much tanks and healer and so sometimes instead of going in BCoB as a Healer i go as a MNK, so i wonder what is best between a MNK with huge damages or a DRG with a little less damages but boost BRD damages, or maybe it doesn't matter ( i like MNK and play MNK a little more than DRG )
The raid is usually 2PLD, MNK, me, BRD, BLM/SMN, SCH and WHM.

2 MNK = inc loot dramas and dps drama due to 1 monk become DK slave. HUGE?depends on RNG mechanics dude!

The biggest thing you'll get is LB. Your LB won't charge as fats when you have 2 of same class, since you already run 2 pld I'd choose drg over 2nd monk.
2 monks could possibly be higher dps, but higher dps + slower LB increase rate and you might not have LB for i.e T7's last add which would be nice to have dead fast (not neccessary but imo helps alot).
Keep in mind those are just my opnions.

Frankly, if you get to last add without LB2 up, your DPS is good enough to not need it.

1 MNK 1 DRG. As stated above, having more than one each job creates problems not only loot wise but building up the limit break.
Honestly though, if square wanted to be smart, the should have made to where it requires 10 players to form a full party. That way, each and every job can fit inside a party. They should also make raids tuned to where it's necessary to have one of each and every job the game currently has to offer in order to win said raids.

I think it should be like: you got 2 of same class? Have a 50% slower LB (only applied to the current content that really requires you to have pre-made party. Ex primals, 1st and 2nd coil syrcus tower) and if you'd go to HM primals 4 man dungeons and story dungeons, the LB system would work the same way as it does now.

As a BRD, I'd prefer a DRG because we get piercing bonus with increases DPS by 10%. That's the difference between 270, and nearly 300.

2 monks is optimal. My group has no drama (because we're not shitty people) and the LB effect seriously doesn't matter.
That said, the difference is negligible, just do whichever you like more.

Question. Do you run any other 2x classes than monks? Since I've had multiple times no LB3 on levi when we've had 2 pld and 2 blm for example (I'm not saying it's not doable without lb3, but it helps alot)

Nope just double monk
