Curious about Monk DPS

[Krindor]

And yet people call MNK hard...it's pretty silly.

The skill ceiling is high but to deal decent DPS is easy. Pushing the last 5% is quite hard and requires a lot more as you need to use Fracture which requires a lot more than just looking at its dot timer. But yeah overall MNK is one of the easier jobs to do good on and the FFlogs statistics supports this.

EDIT: For those wondering the 70% was a rough estimation done by me a while ago on reddit. This comes from counting average pps of a normal rotation with oGCDs and dots included and then count another one with only Snap, DK, TS, Boot, True. Just using the few moves mentioned it's about 70.4% of what someone using a full rotation would do. Skipping positionals brings this down to 55%. So all in all, with the same up time a VERY bad player should be dealing 52.8% of what a skilled player would, there's also additional stuff that can be added on and go over the 100% line that wasn't added in the calculations.
