You´ve to look at the average across the board and away from 99 / 100 parses where MNK is a bit higher, everything from 0-98 is up to RPR. And the lower the parse-percentage goes, the tougher is RPR against everyone else on the level. On top RPR has more than the double amount of parses than MNK.

I´m a MNK main and i want it to be nerfed, that´s sure. MNK is easy to play and has some utility. It needs to be on the 3rd or 4th spot in kind of DPS in the melee category until they finally bring positionals back.
But RPR needs a harder nerf. It´s braindead to play and has even better utility. It doesn´t deserve to put out more damage than any other melee with a low skill floor and low skill ceiling. The statistics show nothing else than that.
MNK, RPR, NIN, DRG should all be in similar DPS ranges with the only variations being their rDPS due to raid utilities. The only reason SAM should be the top is because they only bring DPS and have no raid utilities. To say a job should have lower DPS because its "easier" to play is absolutely ridiculous and no sane person would quantify class balance with how easy or difficult a class is to play.

Oh and MNK's positionals are not coming back, so give up on that argument.
