Thread: Thoughts on 4.0 Monk at 70

Ah, yes I am aware for the boost of Brotherhood, I was kinda actually replying to everyone complaining about those 5% skills overall (and it can affect up to 75% of the team (2 tanks/4dps)).

But I agree comparing Samurai and Monk are still a good idea. I do believe SAM are too powerful compared to others, but maybe MNK are better in a way (I dont know which one). What do they bring that samurai doesn't? Maybe better in burst aoe for shorter fights? (it's just a shot in the dark, I know SAM are also very powerful AoE-wise).

What I'm afraid of, is that we realize having 4 samurai in a team is way enough to clear content really quickly and efficiently. Or maybe 2 samurai, 1 Ninja, 1 Dragoon (ninja and dragoon for buffs they provide at dps check phase, which are even more worth on samurais being the most powerful ones).
Will we really need the utility brd and mch bring? I doubt so, unfortunately, SE always said we should be able to be purely with random people and that any team of 2tanks/2healer/4dps should be able to clear the content (even with 4 bards? x) haha).

Anyway, someone good at his not meta job is always way better than someone with meta job who's not good. And it seems it will be even more the case with Samurai designed to be not the easiest to play (even if the game is made to be easy overall). But yea, MNK are not supposed to be easy to play to in an optimize way (and I guess it's still the case now).
