indeed a monk well equiped will be close of 2.1 of GCD, a DRG well equiped is around 2.4, means 6.3 for the monk and 7.2 for the dragoon. indeed you hit faster, but in burst you can\\'t beat a drg... sorry to say this.

about the DoT you can have 3 DoT with fracture for the monk and same 3 DoT for the Dragoon.
let\\'s see the potency.
- Fracture: 20 potency
- Touch of Death: 25 potency (monk)
- Demolish: 40 potency (monk)
- Phlebotomize: 20 potency (drg)
- Chaos Thrust: 20 potency (drg)

yep on this you win, sadly it\\'s not enough for make up for the direct damage.
the only time a MNK will win is on very long fight outside this, on short fight, DRG will have more damage that normal since it\\'s more a burst one.

ps: and the mnk need to maintain GL without loose it, on some fight is almost impossible.[/QUOTE]

I\\'m not even gearing for skill speed and I\\'m below 2 sec gcd so there is a big difference in speed
