Not going to put my two cents into the argument of which DPS should be top or not just that's what I remember from the quest.

EDIT: Someone correct if I'm wrong. I do love me some monk but it's been awhile since I have done the quest.
U got the point.. That's why a monk hits as hard as sharp weapon users, because monk knows weak point better than any jobs out there, that's why almost all of their skills require positioning.
Like martial arts movie and how they beat weapon users.
