The reason why the "first person" is doing most damage is because they are a Warrior. A Black Mage may be able to output the same amount of damage depending if the player can figure the elemental weakness. A White Mage is not an offensive class - they are for healing. A Monk is a really good class and make sure not to equip any weapon on them; they are at their best bare-hand. There are two different levels in Final Fantasy III: physical level and job level. Classes become stronger quicker through their job level increasing. So Monk will become a powerhouse the more skilled the character is for that class.
Eventually you may need a Knight or a Viking. That Garuda fight can be a pain. I give you forewarning on Evokers. While Evokers can summon they have no control as to what ability the summon will use. When an Evoker or Sage use a summon there are two different things that the summon can do - an ability geared towards black magic (damage/debilitating) or geared towards white magic (healing/protective/enhancing). The Summoner class is the only summoning class that can use the summons [now] traditional attacks: Shiva/Diamond Dust, Ifrit/Hellfire, Bahamut/Megaflare for example.
I know when I've played through this game twice my Monk's job level always leveled quickly. It is weird that your job level is lower than your physical level. Increase your job level for Monk and the jobs for the other characters because all get stronger that way. Remember not to equip Monk with any weapon, those claws are for Black Belt which is also a great damage dealer.
thanks ! my monk is level 23 and job level 21, because I switched his jobs a lot of time.. but I just tried him again with no weapons.. only armors and his hands.. my warrior deal 2300 damage on a red slim and my monk, on the same monster, deal 83 damage.. I dont get it.. I watched some videos on youtube and I see monks dealing 600 damages with claws at the same level than my monk.. why ?Yeah pretty much what Zargabaath said. The Monk indeed starts off weaker than the Warrior but thats because he dual wields weapons & I believe his strength stat is slightly higher than the Monks at low levels. HOWEVER, the Monk will in time absolutely destroy enemies as his job level increases that is because the Monk and Black Belt gain +2 attack power with each job level.im sure im doing something wrong
I guess ill just switch his job for a knight because I need a defensive character, but still, why id need a defensive character when 1/4 of the time he dont get attacked, I dont know what to do
So let's say you did the ol' defend to how many ever class points at the end of each battle 50 times, the Monk's job level will be at 51 and his attack power will be increased by 100! This reason is why Monks and Black Belts are the strongest physical class. You have to have patience building these guys up, they have the potential to be strong only by how much time you invest in them.
I went through most of the game with the Monk until I got the Earth Crystal jobs and I don't ever regret staying with him. I really wouldn't worry about defense unless your a cautious player. The Knight or Viking is the way to go for defense but the way I play is 3 damage dealers and a healer.
Role your characters jobs to your comfort, don't do it cause you see other players on youtube or walkthroughs do it. Hell, I beat the Cloud of Darkness with a Magus/Ninja/Devout/Thief team with my Thief and Ninja in the front ranks without anyone dying. Play to what you feel should conquer in your world.
