If Pugs and Monks are overpowered compared to other Melees in this game when they make use of their buffs, THEN I will agree with you.

EDIT: Sorry not "overpowered", if they have a "unique edge" over the other classes.
...Ah, but they do have a unique edge. Their DPS is comparable to any other melee off-stance. Perhaps it is slightly lower, but definitely not by much at all. When you exploit an elemental weakness though, PGL's AA hits like a string of weaponskills, and its weaponskills hit like a series of tanks. That is what I call a unique edge. As if that elemental exploitation wasn't enough, the stances each come with quite the drastic buff to a stat at no cost of another. All of these buffs, at the cost of a very manageable MP drain.
