Monk - Ranged "Pulling" Ability

[Samsta]

I'm not really sure how a thread asking for a simple ranged pulling ability has started to derail into arguments and comparisons about DPS. What on earth does high DPS have to do with being able to pull a group of mobs without using your face?

It has everything to do with it, as I have explained before, since the only this this drawbacks affects is your solo content, and having a high single targets dps makes certain solo content easier, and not having a ranged ability makes certain content harder.

Just like with Surani's post, what on earth does this have to do with wanting a ranged pulling ability? First we managed to get to Monks having high single target damage somehow being a good reason for not having a ranged pulling skill. Now you're on about certain classes (which includes Monk) having to practice resource management more than others as an excuse for Monks not having a ranged pulling ability. I'm curious as to what's going to come next.

You are not really understanding my post that well, I argued against the argument that said that this is the only situation where a certain class only has a disadvantage in a certain area of the game, and I gave an example about other situation. The resource management part was just part of my example.

This is an even more ridiculous argument than saying giving Monks a ranged attack would destroy class uniqueness. You could apply the same poor argument to WHM having a hard time soloing lengthy content. "Hey, it's okay that you might OOM, your chocobo can help you dps and tank!", but that doesn't really address the problem.

Yes, my point was exactly that there is no problem, and whm should not get any relief to it's mana problems, as monk should not get any ranged abilities. Also the chocobo DOES help even when you pull multiple mobs.
