As Current Info Stands Who Will Be Lamer in SB, MNK or WHM?

[MomoOG]

Really hope what we have seen is not what we get for these two classes but if I had to choose I think MNK is looking Iike the lamest of the lame.

how can anything top those lilies and confession stacks?!

In what way? Other than them not having much party synergy which now they do, Monks have always been in a good spot. As with Scholar not much about these jobs really need(ed) much changing. From 2.0 they have been very well made classes.

I still don't see THAT much of a problem with Monk honestly. Heck, it's the job I'm falling back on if WHM releases as bad as we think.

I like the idea of Chakra building as we fight, just that one thing is going to make Monks feel a lot more active. The new riddle skills are unfortunately just as useless as their fist counterparts (save Fire), and the heavy emphasis on shoulder tackle is still their weirdest thing, but I think they're pretty alright.

What remains to be seen is if SAM absolutely blows them out of the after in DPS, because the utility they obtained definitely isn't worth losing their high personal DPS.

And what about SMN?

[Felis]

MNK do more dmg than WHM, i think

[Rhaja]

MNK isn't exactly bad it's just, from limited knowledge, uninspired. More of the same that is kinda fine tuned and kinda questionable. Completely still in it's own playstyle even with RoF effecting haste.

WHM on the otherhand got **** by it's Lilly and Confession mechanic and the Role Skill's in one fell swoop. Not entirely comparable.

wait, why is Monk being considered lame? i thought it looked great

[Keramory]

I'm the oddball of the community because I'm still playing whm and look forward to the changes (simply because there are changes granted)

As for monk... martial artist in RL so I'll always have it leveled... but I've hated monk since it's change after 1.0. Elemental wheel + elemental fist = the best experience ever.

Can't imagine hating it much more now

Friend of mine who mains Monk went in-depth on why the initial glance isn't... what it seemed.
