This is verifiably incorrect. I just checked the current numbers from Pandaemonium savage. Monk and reaper are basically neck and neck with reaper being #1 on some floors and monk being #1 on others, and the difference is not "hundreds of DPS" but in some cases the average makes the gap as small as 15 DPS

P4S part 2, for example, Reaper is 8,134 DPS and Monk is 8,129. And this is a pattern that repeats across all floors, in no case is the gap between the two jobs "hundreds" and additionally, the only fights of the five as fflogs has them divided where monk is ahead of reaper are P2 and P4 part 1.

Obviously the devs think one thing, you think another. However the only opinion of the two that matters is the devs, and they think this gap shouldn't be so close. So monk got a less than 1% buff to its damage.
