Blu jp is definitely something they got right, but the chasm there is that so many jobs got mediocre or downright terrible. JP, they should be buffed and changed because they're awful.

JP should feel like leveling up and many jobs don't.

Monk has some tankish jp when they couldn't truly tank (enmity, dt) anything remotely serious.

With enough delay reduction, not hard to achieve even with just trusts, their MA gifts are bad for the job.

Half of monk's problem is that h2h always seems like an uneasy spot between 1h and 2h. It gets love when SE directly targets it.

I don't play monk in years but have a handful of ideas to improve it.
