Are Monks weakest DPS?

Lol Dragoon are squishier then monks, while they have the lower dps.

They still have their job. Burst DPS on adds, something monk cannot do or black mage

I don't know about squishier but every class has their rolls in raids, I find it funny how soooo early into a new game the only thing people seem to care about is raw DPS numbers which normally means nothing unless you're wiping to an enrage or not downing a boss quick enough or running out of mana.

Funny, didn't find anyone yet with my current lvl of gear in pug able to deal as much dps as I could, simply because most of monks aren't managin to keep up their 36% dps buff all the time + dots and the rest.

If anything dragoon is amazing on sustained dps and it goes ridiculously high when crit is involved. Gotta love Chaos Trust. Otherwise this is how its workin atm :

-> Monks and Dragoons for sustained single target dps, dragoon have crappy aoe but it help
-> Black Mage and Bard for bursty encounters, this is where it get crazy
-> All the rest for your normal dps. Altho I'd say that Scholar is kinda crazy if your targets are properly debuffed non stop
