MNK is also an old Job while RPR is the new kid in town a lot of people stuck with MNK through thick and thin and I think people generally maybe have more respect for it getting some sunshine.
RPR kinda just came in, is way easier and Arcane Crest is incredibly powerful even post nerf and deals top tier damage it feels unfair.

Edit: To be clear tho I don't think that MNK needed a buff either.
But I also don't think that RPR deserves to be where it's at, it also gets a lot of stigma because a lot of the edgelord LARP:ers that gave SAM stigma play it in droves too.
And it kinda leaves a bad taste in peoples mouth when they can put out high numbers even tho being pretty bad.

Being easy to pick up and having low skill expression is the direction SE is wanting to go. I would rather all classes be balanced than worrying about an easier job being lower because it's easier. I don't buy into things being bad in the past justifying then being too strong now. We should strive for balance. It's a very minor buff but it is insulting to buff the strongest job in the game on a balance patch. Arcane crest is weaker than mantra. Especially on stuff like final fight. If we want to get into utility then drg should be getting the most in that regard as it's utility is life surge which is a joke at best.
