Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[NoctisUmbra]

I love the amount of BS being shouted from this clown. I have almost all ilvl90 gear just missing a few more peices and I can tell you right now without a buff of some sort you are not hitting over 750dmg without food or pot. I can hit between 700-725 on a really good snap punch crit in my gear so either you have all determination and no accuracy or crit. Or your just plain full of crap. The only way you are hitting over 750 crits is if you are geared for raw dmg and if you are then good luck hitting anything in coil. And even then you would need food buff and pot's to reliably hit that much.

Great that you broke it down and all but, I would say it's already quite evident especially from the last few pages that Mr. Anderson is full of crap.

Noctis, gear boy, if you didn't notice my MNK gear, you at least could know my MNK max Dmg is over 750. The result came with no food no potion. Almost Everyday I got people ask how to play MNK on my server. I haven't seen any MNK beat me in Gardua DPS race game yet.lol

Can you please just go away and leave us alone?

it does feel like im playing street fighter the way i have to position myself for my abilities just to be on point with other classes that can just chill back and eat a bag of Cheetos and do the same amount of dps as me, probably even more. Please change something about the class, theres a reason why not many people play as them.

Their representation/popularity is not as simple as the strength of the class. Many people find monks a lot less aesthetically pleasing than dragoons, for example.

What content are you doing that you find monks so weak?

why play a monk, when i can play a black mage who doesn't have to worry about positioning and can do more dps then a monk can without having to chase down mobs at all

Monk is not your favorite class, else you wouldn't want it changed. The speed and positioning is what makes monk my favorite class, and I don't want it changed. You might have your personal ideal of what monk has to be, but it's not what monk is.

Personally, I don't care if not many play monk. I do care about the fact that those who do usually have a very bad idea of how to play it.

1) The positions are mostly flank. Which isn't that hard since there are two.
2) Chasing down mobs? You're a melee, that's what you do.

Positioning is a bigger deal levelling than at the end since you don't have dragon kick. Take out true strike for twin snakes as soon as you can, it's not worth it.
Now things are much simpler.
