MNK needs a minor buffs

You can get GL3 back relatively quickly. Most major phase transitions don't happen more than 3 minutes apart (and if they are, you don't need optimum DPS anyway) at which point you fire up perfect balance and smack em with demolish and/or snap punch 3 times to get your stacks back.
Every DPS class has their quirks and workarounds. Being able to compensate for things like phase transitions and mechanics is the difference between being an average player and a great player.

Dunno if it's been said yet or not, can't be bothered to read through six pages to find out, but if MNK needs any buffing at all, it's in SLIGHTLY increasing the duration of GL. Not by much, just 2 or 3 seconds, and even that's not really necessary.

Of course, if in 3.0 SE would give us Axe Kick (or something similar) as a regular move, that'd be awesome. Having two options per boss fight to instantly get back to GL3 would be pretty cool. Still not really necessary though.

I wouldn't mind a few additional seconds on Greased Lightning during like Ifrit, but I'll be the first to admit that I absolutely suck at MNK anyways. My favorite job, but I'm more beneficial on WAR or WHM. :/

Obvious troll thread is obvious. We need buffs like WHM needs buffs...they don't.

Though I should say, rereading your posts, there's a reason MNK isn't popping out huge numbers: because we do damage over time rather than burst damage. It's not about the big numbers, it's about the total numbers.

If you want to see big numbers one after another, MNK is not the job for you.

Seems like OP fail to grasp the very basic idea of how being a Mnk. MNK is a SUSTAINABLE dps, not a Bursty one. In any SHORT fight, Mnk will come short. In exchange for that, MNK will ALWAYS come out TOP if plays right in any fight last over 3 mins.
Want big number in short time???Go Dragoon. Want sustainable DPS and highest in a long run???Go Mnk. Simple as that!!!

I came on here to see if this post was a joke or not but. Wow. Seriously?

Monk is perfect the way it is. If you have anything to complain about on monk, then play something easier.

the mnk in my raid group, is almost always 50-100dps ahead of me, when i'm nin. we're both ilv 120-125.
then again, i'm hardly ever using food/pots, he is; but even with that, i wouldn't ever get anywhere near his dps.
