It's funny, because in 3.4/3.5, MNK was actually better than BLM/SMN. It had higher dps than either of them, and unless you were progressing, once you had the fights on farm/were well-geared, neither BLM nor SMN provided any crucial utility (hence the best comp being NIN/DRG/BRD/MCH by very far, as far as dps is concerned).
1) Ment without physical buffs or other buffs, Sam = Blm > Mnk ..
2) in 3.x, for speed runs/meta, it was with out a Mnk.., but Mnks could still get a spot in such pfs sometimes, just because their dps was good and used the mch "buff", while casters had way smaller chances to get in such pfs at all

and that is a bit of a problem .. again, too much physically buffs, bad for casters, again.. and Sam uses most buffs to the fullest
