Still though mnks still burn TP like no tomorrow, and their burst is only average. So it balances it out depending on content.

In a fight, in this case a brd will beat a mnk within the 1st minute of the fight and probably the 2nd minute of the fight, and if they are bursting adds...mnks are just bottom of the well if you consider all the dps.

It will take a good 4-5minutes before mnks pull ahead, but it tell nothing on how the fight is done (which mechanic is most important in xyz fight).

Mnks on the 1st minute even with PB is somewhere on average 250-300ish with mechanics added in, a brd is going at 500ish no problems in most fights. Then the position slowly reverses.
I can consistently burst in the high 400s with my PB opener at my current gear so whatever monks you are basing those #s off of are horrible.
