If you really break down the statistical math regarding monks landing 100% of flying kicks @ 40 damage minimum, versus a hypothetically changed accuracy rate of 60-65% and minimum of 1 damage on flying kick, you're looking at a critically weaker class. Which, unfortunately is classic.

When I get home I'll compile around 5000 fights from all raid zones and show how heavily/incorrectly reliant on Flying Kick (aka burst dps, fka Rogue bread n butter) Monks currently are. Overall their melee with fists is doing more DPS, however more as in 60% of the total instead of correctly around 70-80% of the total.

For example a Monk in DA over an entire Fear clear will likely do around 100,000 total damage. Of that 100,000 damage 30-40k of it will come from Flying Kick landing every 5 seconds for between 40-150 damage.
