Master Monk (Tactics A2)

Master Monk is a bangaa job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift and an upgrade of the White Monk job.
==Profile==
Master Monk's main skillset is Martial Arts, and it can perform various up-front actions, such as bypassing an enemy's counterattack with Cross-counter while dealing massive damage and attacking twice in one turn with Pummel. Although Master Monks can wield poles, their attack is superior when bare-handed (with the exception of the weapon Whale Whisker, which will raise Attack by 17), comparable to that of Gladiators, Snipers or Dragoons.
Their healing abilities surpass those of White Monks making them ideal front line fighters, especially since they can equip two shields with the Shieldbearer passive ability, which when coupled with their naturally high Evasion can mean they evade half of all hits against them. Their Attack power is stronger when not equipped with weapons. A downside is that they do not have a good ranged game, as they have only two ranged attacks, one with 50% Accuracy at best and the other stands two squares in front of them. Thus they are often paired with White Monk as a secondary job.
