Good day

Rather often I look to the "others" sector of the PF and see almost only "LF NIN" or "LF DRG" from the groups, which seeks melee DD. Why not Monk? Because of the RAID UTILITY. Ninja gives+10% damage every 60 seconds, also Goad (TP restoration) also Shade walker and Smoke screen. Dragoon- permanent +10% dps for Mechanist or Bard and Crit buff for all the raid.

And what about Monk? INT reduce by 10%? Dark knight also have such skill. Mantra? Tiny 20% every 2 MINUTES for 15 seconds? Just a joke. DPS? Yes, Monk almost always top-dps, but it is just a self result. The common Total DPS will be better without monk- with Dragoon and Ninja only

When Ninja appeared, the best setup for raid consists NO MONK. Can SE make the Monk more attractive in 4.0? If no, Monk will be a dead class

What ideas do I have?
----Make Mantra more useful. Reduce CD till 1 minute, make the effect longer and more powerfull
OR
----totally rework the effect of mantra, make it something, that can raise the DPS of the raid

Thank you
