    The decision for CT and Demo are fundamentally different. With Demo, you can simply check right before you use it, and then NOT use it -- replacing it with Snap Punch. You can then use it next cycle, ~4 seconds later.

    With CT, you have to make that decision ~7-8 seconds ahead of time. Not 1s ahead of time. And, you can't just randomly replace it with Full Thrust. An error to delay will cause a loss of Disembowel uptime of about 7-10 seconds (~82p) and CT by 7-10 seconds (~50p). An error to execute will cause a repeated CT rotation, which is around a 90p loss.

    The core reason why the Monk is easier to execute is that they do not have rigid combo chains. If TOD is about to drop, you can literally just press the button on reflex. DM is almost equally as free. Doing anything similar on a DRG would break combo chains. You have to literally plan your attacks out ahead of time -- none of which is required on the Monk. You just press the next button.

    Edit: At the of the day, "ease" is subjective, but I think the mechanics weigh in favor of the Monk having an easier time executing once you practice them a bit.
