I am having trouble deciding on one of them at this point in time and decided that I need more information on them both.

MY current perception of them in comparison :

Monk
+ around 7 skills which make up 2 to 3 rotations
+ has to change positions very often between behind and flank
+ Damage very dependent on self buffs uptime, therefore downtimes problematic
+ needs time to ramp up/ set up
+ plays faster due to greased lightning
+ apparently seen as the hardest dps to play well ? I suspect due to constant positionals


Dragoon
+ seems to have more skills to use when counting all 3 rotations and off GCD skills
+ only has 2 positional skills ?
+ Damage is more frontloaded
+ not as reliant on self buffs for damage but debuffs and dots still part of the rotation
+ seems to be the ''easiest'' melee dps due to linear combos and few positionals + slower pace ?


How do you think these two differ exactly in the way they play ?

Which one is more demanding than the other ?

Any general advice on regarding this comparison ?
