Saying “just do the rotation” is not really a good indicator of how hard the class actually is and while the dragon kick rotation is a meme it’s not literally just press dragon kick constantly nor is it even close to SMN’s rotation
Right but we've already established you don't just press Dragon Kick. But you do press it a lot and you do marginally the same DPS as the optimal rotation. And I very much enjoy seeing chunks fall off mobs because of it.

Black Mage has some nice tricks too with the Infinite Paradox rotation that does amazing DPS and makes you completely mobile forever without ever once using a single Fire 4. For Single Target.

It's worth learning how to be a Dragon Kick Monk as well as using Infinite Paradox not as a crutch but as an option. This overall improves your skill with the class.

I'm still surprised they didn't knock the potency on it down. Dragon Kick potency out the gate is obnoxious.
