DRG does more damage than MNK and with less effort and less danger to boot. Maintaining GL3 for MNK is an optimization problem that the ENTIRE raid has to bend over backwards to accomplish in exchange for the highest single target DPS in the game. Now DRG handily out-damages MNK without having to worry about maintaining stacks. Currently, the only reason to bring a MNK is for Dragon Kick int debuff, for which there is no content in the game where it is still necessary at ilv 130.
