I just got back to the game, and a year ago I mained healer/tank.. kind of tired of it so I want to try a DPS class. My friend tells me SMN is 2nd highest single target dps, so I'm just curious if it would be worth it since my SMN is already 50.. but I do have ninja around 44 or so.

He told me also that Monk is highest dps for single target but has a lot of positionals skills such as Dragoon (but this DRG is very buggy from what I've read..)
