I don't post in the forums that much, but if I start, some of you may come to realize that I have the attention span of a rabid squirrel on crack, and switch classes frequently. That being said, despite posting about SMN/SCH a few days ago, I now have a Monk question!

I read that in another thread that you can do about 70% of a Monks total DPS just by following simple rotations, and not worrying about positionals and such. I'm curious how true this actually is. I'm looking to level up another DPS class, DRG has gotten rather stale for me since I've played one since the game launched.

I don't care about endgame stuff, I only really do my DF dailies, and play with my small FC of friends. We don't do any hard endgame content, so I'm not all to concerned with maxing out numbers, I just want to be viable for the little things that we get ourselves into. Which is mostly DF just DF stuff, and randomness.

I like the Monk class, but I don't like all the positionals and such, so I'm just curious if this can be a semi-viable DPS class, even if you don't hit all your positionals, and you don't have your rotations down to 100% maximum effect. So all this being said, how does Monk perform if you can't master the high skill ceiling?
