Could be worse. We could be a tank job with this hp...

EDIT; I would like mnk to have higher HP like other games but I feel like if I asked for it at this point it'd be like rubbing salt in PLD's eyes ^^;

That's the point. It's Invigorate Lite for MNK. Most damage comes from WS so it's to your benefit to gain TP quickly. The ability is balanced by reducing per-hit damage, which either leads to a negligible difference in damage (considering TP gained) or more damage overall compared to normal attacks.

The last time MNK had kicks was in FFXI, and we liked those kicks because of the TP bonus.

MNK is a bit more like a THF than a MNK :P but loves it!

The only ability PGL/MNK possesses that is related to a legacy THF ability is Blindside.

I can think of much better ways to qualify a Thief than an ability that forces a critical attack from the rear.

i think it could use a little more oomph than just being another invigorate

it's basically an invigorate where if you do anything you will get out of rhythm and diminish your TP bonus

All I'm really saying is that it should last longer, kick attacks are cool!
