Criticism on Stormblood's Monk

From what I can gather from the novel I just read....it looks as though AST is the new op healer?

I've read all of your post and I'm not entirely agree. I've been a MNK main since 2.0 and I'm really enjoying the level 70 gameplay/playstyle but that's just me. Can't talk about numbers yet tho but it seems lower than SAM (we have Brotherhood now).

Ah yes, thank you, I've made the correction. Don't know why I thought that they would proc Chakra stacks.

As they are now the Fist stances are even more button bloat than they previously were.

I can agree with this, since only Fists of Fire stays relevant, but I don not believe they should be removed, but adjusted, since damage reduction is not necessary for DPS and movement speed is mostly pointless with gap closers able to fill most of the distance.

I also see your point with the usefulness of delaying the silence with Fracture and Touch of Death, I had not thought about that at the time. I do agree with it has a large impact on how Monk manages its cycles, thank you for the insight on that as well.

Not to sound like a prick, but if samurai did not outdamage mnk (raw numbers wise), I would have assumed SE did not know what they were doing.

Everything else was very well thought out and explained.

I'm barely getting any chakra from deep meditation. It really doesn't feel like 50% anyone else noticing this? Or am i just really unlucky

You have 691 Crit... What do you expect? Raise your crit up and you'll do better.

I have 1000+ and I'm barely getting a FC every minute and a half.

I'm not refering to the rate at which i crit I'm referring to the rate at which a crit becomes chakra. next time you should probably use some critical thinking skills before you comment.
