i wonder... mnk in top gear rng in top gear both just standing there /a no other ws or abilities no subs no buffs who would fall first? can your RNG solo DS? i can i soloed him @70
RNG is a good DD coz of their WS (Sidewinder/Slug shot) and Job ability (Barrage). Defense wise and Evasion wise, RNG is the worst among all other melee classes. So, you can't really compare RNG and MNK with ur idea seeing who will fall first. However, RNG can use sleep arrow/bolt and bloody bolt which is kinda a cheap way to solo. :)
Both class has its own strong side. RNG is best dealing damage on soft mobs like bats or weapons while MNK is best dealing damage on bone type mobs.
As far as solo-ing DS... I solo-ed DS as level 65 RNG, but that was before the ranged attack gimping patch. :P
Anyway, after level 70+ eventho before the ranged attack gimping patch, MNK can outdamage RNG easily on the Aura Statue in Ru'Avitau. Monk is a good DD but just underrated.
