Defending monks

[AldricBranchais]

Yeah I suck obviously .. I mean we can't all be super monks.

@AldricBranchais

DRG has... Battle Litany, and buffs BRD / MCH And top dps atm

Again, barely, and if played in perfect conditions.

NIN has Trick Attack, and Goad
And Dancing Edge, Trick attack also buffs the entire groups damage does it not ?
We have a WAR, so he doesn't really use DE iirc. Didn't think about it that much since... if you have a WAR in the PT the skill is barely used if ever.

MNK has Super Mantra< LOL , Dragon Kick.
Mantra is ok in a pinch when healing is getting over taxed which @ higher gear levels becomes less useful , Dragon Kick was good for the - int debuff but only buffs monks damage since iirc only titan egi does blunt dmg other than monk. Now you can just bring a DRK and fill monks spot with another dps.

So Mantra is useful for progression. Which is huge. Ever done T13 without echo? Or any encounter with a truckload of raid damage. Also yes, DK buffs MNKs, Ifrit (I think it does, I know -Slashing does too. :/), and Titan. Also Delirium doesn't invalidate a MNK's existence lol. Just lol.

And the DPS is pretty tied with Dragoon's edging out. Barely. We're fine
Granted i don't feel like monk is full on broken Its not on the same level as the other 2 melee dps.

wat? I don't know how you play your MNK, or what legendary NIN's you've run across but in my experience on EX Primals, PF, and Alexander farming NIN is not edging out MNK in anyway shape or form. We're barely ahead of them, and DRG's are barely ahead of us. The paradigm shifts, this is the way of MMOs.

Colors!

Let's agree to disagree and end with OP is a silly goose.
