Oh look, another Monk that acts as if it was so hard for Monks back in the day. Even before the buff, I knew people who were top tier. Monks have been top tier for more than 10 months now? I really don't know what your rant is all about. Monk is such an easy class to play as well. Or at least a lot easier as people make it seem.
Dragon kick is magic reduction. I don't know about you, but since T1, has every boss been purely physical attack? If not, how can you say that the skill has been useless for so long? It's only prominent now that you are fighting Bahamut who deals so much damage and it becomes noticable. Doesn't mean is was never there?
The Summoner never got any real DPS boosts. It got nerfed in the earlier stages of the game, got an MP reduction on a skill and Ifrit has a DPS increase which is pretty much meaningless. And you say it with such audacity. Monks and GS wasn't buff enough? Monks arguably got the biggest buff out of all the classes, so stop pointing fingers, mate.
