How does MNK AoE compare?

I used to think that too about BRD actually
But...

MCH in 8 attacks til buffs wear off (2840 potency) 8 grenade shots plus hypercharged turret plus ricochet

BRD in 8 attacks with unbelievable rng (3190 potency) 8 wide volley plus flaming arrow plus Rain of Death EVERY second(19), Without any rng = 1290 potency

MCH wins unless you get Rain of Death procd At least 16 times excluding the two youd get in your normal rotation, which means youd need to dot enemies which would let the MCH aoe even more while you get the dots up

It isn't fair but MCH wins in single & aoe damage which is why theyre buffing BRD in 3.3 I guess


As for BLM it right now has the highest single target damage(MNK is barely second) but has pretty good/okay aoe from fire 2/flare, however by the time you get one fire 2 mnk has attacked twice already, so MNK can sustain higher aoe than any class except SMN & maybe ranged. It would eventually catch up to ranged too I think.
