Defending monks

[Oboros]

Wait do monks do less than ninja now? It was my understanding and from what I've seen at least on dummy dps was DRG > MNK > NIN

The multi-posting is strong in this one.

As for the OP, I don't see what your point is. Whether they q.q or not doesn't change the fact that drg has more versatility and higher ST-DPS than monks. Namely, a combo with no positional requirement with high potency, 2 DoT GCDs with high potency, easier to maintain buffs such as heavy thrust or BoTD(goes up to 30secs) compared to GL3.

Without a shadow of doubt an equally skilled DRG will have no problem out-dpsing an equally skilled monk.

Pretty sure Ninjas and Monks deal roughly the same DPS now based on dummy parses. But ninjas rely less on positional except for a few skills so you can imagine them doing better in certain boss phases. But that's all I can go on based on experience since I haven't touched ninja yet.

Yeah from what I've seen the diff is around 20-50 not that huge but monks do slightly more best nin parse I've seen was around 1170 while monks consistently hitting 1200 mark or close to it.

Also no love for ninja if monks get to complain why can't Nins who are arguably weaker xP.
