Because my answer to that is literally never and monks do crazy personal dps.
They do, but the initial impression of SAM based on the potencies are that it's like MNK, but on steroids, in terms of personal damage. I also wasn't stating anything as fact, just speculating as well, since right now speculation is all we have. We know some of the raw potencies, but we won't know how it all works out in practice until a few weeks from now. I'm just worried about the backlash we might get in the DF/PF if SAM does prove to be too strong compared to other DPS classes in non-raid content. The DF has been rather tame for a few months due to most of the more "intense" players taking a break between patches, but I've seen the DF at its worse, and seen more than a few times when players got kicked due to runs going too slowly, even when they couldn't speed it up much even if they were playing better. Once again, nothing is certain until SB actually hits, but we're here on the forums to speculate and discuss, so we might as well do so based on what we have....
