reaper or monk?

[.ceyN,]

both looking cool, but are they easy to play? who got better/easier rotation?

reaper is a lot easier imo. monk is probably the exact opposite and i think it has the hardest rotation compared to all the melee dps

[zefyris]

Right now reaper is easier (but monk rotations are pretty satisfying imo), but you never know how much the rotations will change after a new expansions, so I would decide on who to level up based on that. If in doubt, you can easily level up both. Reaper starts at lvl 70 too, so most of the leveling is already done.

Samurai. Easy intuitive rotation and awesome dps.

Reaper 1000%. Monk is 2 buttons per stance and 3 stances in the 1-2-3 cycle and you kind of have to alternate to keep all the buffs and debuffs rolling. Its not hard but its way more convoluted than reaper.

Most people say RPR Is one of the easiest jobs in the game and MNK is one of the hardest. MNK is the second or third highest DPS in the game currently, RPR is generally the lowest of the melee DPS. Optimizing MNK takes effort, but is very satisfying when you pull it off well.

Play and level up both. Switch between both as you see fit.

They're both garbage. Play a well designed job like black mage or ninja.

Monk is fun to play, but you can screw up the rotation with incorrect chakras and have to cope hard with celestial revolution. It would be interesting if they added a way to use celestial revolution correctly, instead of it being 100% cope. Maybe dawntrail will add a way to work it in.

Celestial revolution still has potency and a lot at that so you're not punished hard at all compared to other jobs. Meanwhile mudra lag/dropped inputs with ping over 150ms = 0 potency.

Anyone with a ping over 150ms should be running noclippy.

I rather suffer mudra lag than rely on gameplay plogons. The devs will fix their network engine code one day copium (5k hours on console 4k on Steam).

Reaper is pretty braindead. Monk honestly isn't all that difficult to play either, but you have to pay attention a bit more to avoid messing up its rotation, where as reaper it doesn't really matter if you mess up the rotation.
