How does Monk and Dragoon compare in difficulty and playstyle ?

that was an interesting read, thank you.

I suspected that the sheer amount and dependency on these buffs, the monk has, would create this feeling, I was hoping that in place though, the monk would simply fall back to a more level dps, while maintaining higher dps with the buffs, this doesnt seem to be the case, so i can see why there would be a feeling of pressure.

While I am looking for a rewarding class, I am also maining a scholar. With the DPS, I am looking for a more lax approach, with less responsibility and a approach where i am allowed to mroe focus on my own play instead of the needs of the group.

The monk sounds like a stressful job right now.

You answered your own question here. If Mnk and the Drg are the only two youre looking at, the drg is for you based off of the criteria you articulated in this statement. Though if the Lax criteria is weighted the highest for you, i'd say consider a third class: blm
