How can you continue to ignore monk completely?

There are a lot of responses derived from emotion, opinion, speculation, assumptions, or suggestions for "fixes" that would make the job undeniably OP in this thread. The rotation hasn't changed. Greased Lightning is MNKs identity. The developers basically just said we're at the limit of speed and power they want us to go with GL, so in order to make it comparable with other classes, they had to mix up the rotations, (which really aren't different). SAM has no utility like where MNK was at in Heavensward, so it's kind of fair in a way for it to be top DPS

I don't think anyone hear argues that it makes sense for SAM to have the highest DPS, seeing as it doesn't seem to have much utility at all... Monks should be able to relate to this quite well when we were compared to DRG/NIN and often overlooked because we didn't have much utility, either.

Lemme tell you dude. There are many ways they could have lowered our DPS numbers to "make it more comparable" yet even as you say this, Monk still stands to be around 2nd best in terms of DPS, still. But again, this is hardly about DPS.

I don't see why having the Monk we had in HW would be a bad idea. So we'd be like SAM, great! In HW we were a black sheep that was often discarded for the utility that DRG/NIN offers, now we're not only lesser in DPS (which isn't as much of a problem for me as it is the people who are trying to find raid teams and are simply viewed as "less" than SAM) but the job just isn't very fun to play. I wouldn't raid with this job if someone paid me to.
