It would definitely put mnk in a very strong spot and boost casters at the same time.

Note : my last post was again a response to wereotter which claims again that smn should be tuned down to RDM. It has nothing to do with smn vs mnk.

Comparing the utility offered by RDM and SMN as well as general job mobility, I stand by my statement that they two should do roughly the same DPS (which is what I have said the entire time) and that SMN was outperforming on DPS as a result of what it offers AND off its ability to move during a raid while maintaining damage. So yes, I think SMN wasn't hit hard enough, but that's obviously not my choice to make, and while we're at it, I think RDM needed to be brought up.

But that's the last I'm going to talk about casters here. This is a thread to talk about MONK changes, not about summoner. Maybe you could start your own thread rather than hijack someone else's.
