Master Monk

- —Description
Master Monk is a job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, usable by the Bangaa only. It is an upgrade of the White Monk job, and is able to perform various up-front actions, such as bypassing an enemy's counterattack with Cross-Counter (While at the same time dealing massive damage) and attacking twice in one turn with Pummel. Although Master Monks can wield poles, their attack is far superior when bare-handed (with the exception of the weapon Whale Whisker, which will raise attack by 17), comparable to that of Gladiators or Dragoons. Their healing abilities far surpass that of White Monks, and this makes them ideal fighters on the front lines, especially since they can equip 2 shields with the Shieldbearer Passive Ability, which when coupled with their naturally high Evasion can mean they are able to have a 50% hit probability rate. This is saying nothing on the fact that their Attack power is far stronger when not equipped with any weapons.
