LOL to all of you. I have proven multiple times that Monks are better then most DPS. The only DPS that even surpasses us is the BLM. Bards are only popular because they have good support factors. And too all people who talk about crit. dmg, pay attention because monks have the highest chance of landing crits. and on top of that monks dps is at a constant flow. I play my class very well and no all my rotations and the only real placement factor is from the side. Dragoons have to fight from behind, when monks can fight from behind and from the side. I would love to see how PvP works out, watching a monk and dragoon trying to hit each other from behind. And each attack hits 3 times over while other DPS is one solid hit. All in all I love playing as a monk and think it is a very great DPS.

P.S: We also have good defense compared to our melee counter part the Dragoon, who is kind of a glass cannon.
