Monk is not like the other supports however, as stated it is completely tied to composition and rng. One could argue that Battle litany is also RNG, but crits are valued a lot higher than flat damage % (50~% extra damage). If you placed monk in the worst comp, it would be about the same dps as SAM, hence SAM needs further damage.

This discussion is like a rewind in time to HW where MNK could pull 3k but DRG and NIN did more raid dps. A selfish DPS should not do more raid damage than a supportive DPS, which is how dps is sorted on FFLOGs otherwise there's no need to take one. And again MNK's personal and raid dps are tied to rng and party comp. Take monk out of the optimal comp and it is no longer below BLM but below DRG.

The other jobs need potency buffs, or you nerf BLM, DRG and MNK. But jus MNK on its own? No.
