What if a MNK's stat weights are something along the lines of .25 for crit, .20 for det and .19 for SS with a 11 for weapon damage. obviously this is just guessing.
this would mean that as gear got better and better Monk would climb the DPS ladder faster and faster, thus allowing Monk to pass DRG's once again.

****Note: I dont want to see either DRG's nor NIN's significantly below Monk, but i think they should be simply because of the offensive utility they bring to a party. im thinking in terms of less than or around 100 dps fully geared. granted MNK does bring meh defensive utility now that DRK brings int down as well.

Dervy have changed the stat weights for DRG in their forum thread by a pretty big amount.

WD: 10.625
STR: 1
DET: 0.139
CRT: 0.162
SS: 0.104

That being said, the weights you're suggesting are way too much compared to that. Weapon damage is possible, though DRG had higher WD weight in 2.X, why would MNK have higher now? (honest question, cause I don't know)

Stat weight differences between DRG and MNK have never been massive before, so I don't see how some of the weights would give around 50% more weighted stats than DRG get.

Crit gotta be the best stat for MNK now though, unless the bonus Crit damage you get are nonexistent... Bootshine and enhanced IR pairs well with that. (just realized that the crit chance portion of Crit would mean less with those skills though lol)

Also, MNK having 100 more DPS than the others would never sit well with anyone else... DK does still bring a lot for many groups. The tanks in my group don't wanna play DRK, not in raids at least, and it's not like I would want to force them to do that... which means that even though NIN and DRG have more utility according to most, MNK would do very much too because of DK.

MNK should be 50 DPS ahead maybe (will ofc change with DPS constantly rising). I don't see it happening any time soon though, because DRG is miles ahead of MNK in DPS right now, and I don't think SE wants to nerf DRG. They would have to buff MNK by a lot.
