Yes path, I always get those mixed up, war is the tank I play the least, changed it.

As for MNK becoming the most taken. Maybe if they lowered it to 5% INT reduction instead of 10%. Then DRK/WAR/MNK would be 20~% magic reduction 5% physical reduction. PLD/WAR/MNK would be 15% physical 10~% magical. PLD/DRK/MNK would be 10% physical 15~% magical. That way each setup would be better for different scenarios where you need to be more defensive. And I don't see that as an entirely bad thing, MNK lacks synergy with anyone at the moment being the only blunt DD and having a non-stacking debuff. Having a stacking INT debuff and mantra would set MNK up as the defensive synergy DD.
