Well I am glad you dont have trouble finding groups.  I can almost never find a pickup group when my friends are not on.  As far as FD goes in dungeons... I know when to FD,  I know its not automatic and it shouldnt be.  The case you bring up is semi valid.  How about when you are wiping in an area that is bad and repops are happening.  You have to drag to a safe spot to rez people.  This is when it really becomes buggy and harry.  This is when you will encounter the things I see.

I am a harm monk too.  The utility you speak of.. yes 15% mitigation is ok but it hardly does anything really.  Solo a mob with it then solo the same mob without it and see how much difference it makes. Reducing mob strength by 50% for 8 secs ... can only be done if you are tanking and if you are lucky enough to parry and if that parry actually sets it off.. plus a high end cost so you have to hope to have enough end to use it.  8 secs is hardly worth it. Pushing mobs out of stances... how many mobs do you run into that are in a stance instead of just buffed?  Jin surge.. cost a buttload of jin... does pratically nothing.. you do know that an auto attack will use it up right?  Are you the best (insert all the the things mentioned here) , no you are not and you readlly admit that.  That is the problem, we are not the best of anything.  Every offensive fighter can do what we do and do it better.  That has been my complaint all along.  We are out dpsed and out utility by 2 of the 3 other offensive fighters.  We are out dps'd by the third and will probably be out utilitied by them soon.

We are the least desired offensive fighter .. its common statistics.. bards as good dps sometimes better, and have better utility.  Why pick a monk over a bard?  Rangers way better dps and way more utility.  Why pick a monk over a ranger.  Rogues way more dps and probably just as good utility.  Why pick a monk over a rogue?  Why are one of, if not the least played class currently?

Im glad you are having fun playing your monk,  I am too.  But you have to atleast see that we have alot of problems.  If they are not spoken about and/or remained unfixed, eventually we will become extinct.  People will eventually realize how much better the other offensive fighters are and you will find less and less monks and less and less groups for monks.

As you can see from my posts, I completely agree that monks need reworking.  Some things don't work at all, aren't working as intended or are never used because they provide no benefit.  Even taking all of this into account, I like my monk, don't plan on rerolling and, most importantly, I know I contribute when grouped. 

Your FD example is a situation I have faced.  I am sure I have suffered more than one death because mobs continued to aggro after I succesfully FD and I wasn't able to succesfully re-FD to break their aggro.  For me, this just doesn't happen often to call it a huge problem.  It is certainly something I want them to fix, but I can play around it for now and would much rather have the Devs fix some bigger issues.  I die much more because of CTD's than I do because FD isn't working right.  As for the utility we provide, no I cannot execute a debuff that will cripple a mob or result in his death in 2 hits.  When I reduce mob damage mitigation, that means the entire party is doing more damage.  I agree it is not noticeable for any single hit, but an entire group doing more damage on each hit for the entire fight?  That is certainly noticeable.         

The thing that bothers me is when people that don't play a monk see the posts where it's one complaint after another about monks, their impression of the class is what is contained in those posts.  I think these types of posts also lead some lower level monks to regret rolling a monk and to give up on the class when there is no need to.  The complaints raised by many are valid, I just don't agree that it's as bad as some describe and that there is little good to be found about monks.  I look forward to the fixes and improvements I am sure will be coming, it will make my class that much better.  Until then, yes, monks have issues that need to be addressed, but we are still a viable class that (I find) brings benefits to groups.

Im not trying to debate you.  Nor am I saying the monk is unplayable. For the mitigation, i agree it is somewhat helpful.  However it is not much compared to what other classes can provide.  Try in group then if you want to debate that aspect of it.  In group pull a mob and use the mit debuff.  Then pull the same mob and don't use it.  Was there much of a difference? You say you feel you contribute to a group.  Sure you do.  The point however is that any other offensive fighter can contribute more to a group.  In essense saying you are actually hurting a group because they could have filled a spot with a ranger(more dps, more utility), a rogue(more dps, just as good utility), or a bard( same dps, more utility). Doing so would make the group much more effective then selecting a monk instead. See the problem?  We need to outshine atleast in one area to be a viable class.  Currently we do not.  Does that make us unplayable? No.  It does however make us way below the balanced curve. 

Do I want it to sound like noone should play the class? No.  Do I love my class and am I going to continue to play it? Of course.  That does not mean we don't need changes.  That also does not mean that if we dont get them I will always stay with the monk.  I am going to give them time to fix it and see how they play this thing out.  When I see that they are done with the class passes and no more is comming, if the monk still is not up to par, i will be leaving.  In order to get changes you have to let them know what is wrong.  They don't physically play these classes enough to see what we can. They need our input or nothing will ever be done.  I do agree that some people have posted in some ways completely exaggerating things to make it sound like the monk is completely unplayable.  However they have also provided alot of very good input in the same postings.  At this point all we have gotten is the nerf bat and everyone who plays a monk knows we need to be fixed not nerfed.
