To all of you who think MNK is bad dps, you need to actually play with one who has a solid rotation. Also you need to take into consideration that it depends on the encounter as well as some aren't as melee friendly as others so that may skew the numbers. For example, with full Darklight gear and Garuda claws I am easily doing over 200 in most battles while SMN/BLM are in the 180's consistently.

If a MNK has Blood 4 Blood up whenever possible and properly rotates, no one is coming close.
