I have to agree with Meleena. PGL is shunned because most of the time our close range makes us take too much damage. How about a fight that has ranged AoE for a change? PGL is still by far my favorite, but I forgot when I last used it.

i have been playing Pug and i love it and have noticed i use to think ugh im hitting less than the others till i noticed I am hitting 100x faster than the others are. and i use to no use the Fists Of cause of the mp drain but i started and noticed that ya now im hitting either just as hard as the mrd or lnc or occasionally harder and faster. so im ok with the MP with those. The thing im not SO ok with unless the dmg equals it out is Kicks. why does it cost mp i dont see myself irl OH SHIT IM OUT MP I CANT FEEL MY LEGS! I mean if it was a TP drain then fine id except that. BUT also if you have Kick up at the same time as a Fist does that mean its a double drain cause it doesnt say you cant have both up. but i also assume it be like activating another fist at the same time last one casted is the on thats active.

Been over this. Simply an increase in DPS managed through the resource of MP. Besides, when using MNK you'll be in a party and chances are there'll be a BRD.

Yeah it's been said many times. Without the MP limitation Pgl would be unstoppable and OP.

Not sure where you guys have been but PGL is very useful in both Ifrit and Moogle. I believe it was already said once that PGL stomps all other dps on the GLA and MRD moogles, and having just one PGL makes that fight easier. Not to mention they are amazing off-tanks, easily holding and surviving certain enemies during those fights. If you haven't tried it, go out and tank Ifrit as PGL, it's obnoxious fun and you do so much damage it's unfair. Monk will only make this more amazing, kick and air attacks on Ifrit? Yes please!

They can be used in both fights but all the other classes are better-safer options than pug

PGL works fine in these fights, it's true, but other classes take less effort overall and are therefore preferred.

The damage gained over GLA and MRD moogles is lost while chasing down all the others. That, and spontaneous hate shifts lead to broken combos. A squad of ARCs doesn't have to deal with this.

A PGL on Ifrit means exposing oneself to Sear. This wasn't a problem before 1.20 because we were cool with Cure and Sacrifice back then. Now curing DD on Ifrit is a cardinal sin--because God forbid one of the two CNJs has to select another target. If you throw a bunch of THMs at Ifrit, you do top damage with low risk and the CNJs don't have to alt-tab out of Youtube before 25%. Luxury!

Fortunately, PGL can fill the role of tank, no problem.

Updating thread as info surfaces

Did you guys see the "charge on enemy" move that monk uses in the new raid video?
I don't remember seeing that in one of the 5 new monk abilities, is it bad memory? :P

[NoctisUmbra]

My guess is it's the animation for Sap, effectively giving it another use. Nothing else makes sense at least.

Definitely badass though.
