I don't like the realism argument anyways despite me using it. Here is the best argument (in my view) against mnks having a more powerful frontal combo - Balance
Mnks have decent armor, highest ST dps with no movement inhibition (animation lock) at the cost of needing lots of movement and some 40% dmg reduction without proper execution of that movement and a windup. You want to lessen that penalty to 10%. Looking at Turn 9 Dps numbers posted on the forums, that means mnk can deal comparable dmg to drg without any positioning (going from potential >500, to 470. i'm betting that merged numbers though). That's not good balancing
