Monk is definitely the weakest DPS. Not pure DPS point of view but in over all. Monk need close fight but with light armer.Monk is very easy to die compare with dragoon and other ranged class. monk can't roll plate armor but all melee class can roll need on monk armor. Last night I got a lvl50 dragoon roll need on leather armor. I don't recommend any one play monk. It is hard and has no advantage compare with other class at moment. When pull mob,monk is also slow. So you are pretty much watch other grab the mob you like to kill. I will switch to other class later. Pug actually may do more Dmg than monk since pug can use archer skill.
