MNK needs a minor buffs

[Viridiana]

Dragon Kick increases Blunt damage to the target by 11.1%

Yeah, but then remember that it doesn't affect the dot portions of Demolish or ToD. Not sure how much of a MNK's damage is from those two sources, but 8-9% off hand sounds about right. It's the same reason that Disembowel boosts a BRD dps by <10%.

I entirely agree with the OP.
I used to play MNK in my spare time but after NIN was released I didn't see any reason to come back to it at all.
I was having a similar discussion with a couple friends about it the other day and came to the same conclusion, the problem with MNK is that they cannot choose the stance they want ot be in unless they go through the whole skill cycle which usually takes a while (in comparison to other DPS).
It would be cool if MNK's could choose a stance at will, kind of the same system NIN has where they select the Mudra they want depending on the situation.

So you're saying the best dps in the game needs a buff because it can't freely changes the stances it is in?

...Ok.

^So infinite Perfect Balance? *scratches head*

Seriously, the only DPS that still needs some balance to it is SMN. Unfortunately that probably won't happen until Heavensward unless 2.5 pulls some late goodies out. Some fights are harder than others on MNK, for sure, but in the big picture they're still the undisputed kings of single target DPS.

Not really, all the stances can be on a GCD, same as Mudras.

[Katsaria]

Monk is still the highest single dps in the game. No, it does not need any buffs.

[Izsha]

Yup. Best single target dps in the game with useful raid utility used to push bleeding edge content by all the best players needs buff. Yup.

If you can't beat a drg or nin it's the player. The job wrecks face and curbs stomps every other dps in the game when in the hands of good players so if it's underperforming, that's all on you baby.

[Noshpan]

I'm inclined to say that Monks are pretty decent where they are at right now. Not every fight should be ideal for every class. In fact, fight mechanics being ideal for a class should be uncommon or rare. We all have to adapt. Most often, the times I lose my GL stacks is when tanks use the boss to play Spin the Bottle, or I'm on the receiving end of RNG.

Yeah, I'm looking at you Kraken. I don't want your tentacles. (At least take me out on a date first.)

Best comment of the day....Mnk can't choose stances to stand in at their will...

IKR! I must be imagining it when I switch to Fist of Earth for gigflare and Fist of wind when I get targetted with earthshaker! Then back to fire on the boss in t13 XD
