    Wow.... with all the talk Yoshida gave about monks needing a buff, I'm actually a little shocked that all it got was an extra 150 potency every two minutes.

    Yeah it's not like MNK was outperforming every DPS apart from RPR (and even then only in certain circumstances). MNK didn't even really need a buff.

    Most job balance is irrelevant in low level/difficulty content because it's filled mostly with people who don't make full use of their job's abilities. You have to look at the best players and their parses to see if a job is overperforming or not. Who cares whether a Reaper does more damage than a Dancer in a dungeon? Player skill plays far more into it at that level than job balance, and it has massive variance. Whereas, to make the difference ridiculous, if a rank 1 Astro was outdamaging a rank 1 Black mage, you would know without a shadow of a doubt that there were balancing issues.

    Yoshi P is the one who said he wanted to buff the job, not me, and he stated so multiple times in the interview that monk would be getting adjustments. Personally, I agree that monk was fine, and this buff is basically nothing since it's 150 potency on a skill the monk doesn't even use until 2 minutes into the fight and then every 2 minutes after that. This buff is incredibly minor. And with reaper and monk being so close, and with reaper being the baseline he wanted to balance jobs around, a small buff to monk is justified when you conisder that reaper has more party utility than the monk does (it heals the party where monk does not, and it's party buff lasts longer than monk's)

    I had more been hoping for them to address the other glaring problems with the monk's toolkit. Riddle of Earth has no reason to fall off after three weaponskill uses anymore. Anatman and Six Sided Star continue to be garbage buttons that you basically never have a reason to press.
