mnk will become the new smn.. (or/ and new nin)?

Hardly. We can't even say for certain how this affected Monk's DPS because it's far too early, but to say that Monk's DPS is fine was all but tied with Dragoon and was behind Machinist in terms of numbers personal numbers. It most certainly was not competing with Samurai either, it was behind it by about 5% or so. Mr. Happy is wrong.

And even ignoring DPS, most of these changes do nothing to address the long term problems with the class such as its enormous suite of overly situational actions or the bigger issue, the Job just feeling terrible to play because of Riddle of Fire's slow.
