To be fair, those with, say, at most a third of the positionals Monk has also often have at least three times the potency penalty for each positional missed, be it directly or through gauge generation.

Brotherhood, likewise, might not produce a Trick Attack's worth of damage, nor as frequently, but it's far from negligible, either.
