Monk and Samurai Action suggestion

Best example the mob Boss from the new ini.
They create multiple times aoes, where the monk can not hit them. Other meele has distance attack to attack in the waiting phase. The monk can use meditation to hold up his skills (or open up his chakra). But can not attack in this time.

I had it multiple times, that i hated it, that i wasnt able to attack and needed to wait. And the samu can use the cap closer for attacking faster the enemy, after this waiting phase. Or, in some Story fights, where the Boss move very fast to a corner and create a aoe (like venat).

Monk has a gap closer, too. It's called Thunderclap. No damage. But it puts you in range to attack and Monk attacks faster than a SAM does.

Also I'm writing to suggest either reducing samurai gap closer (Hissastu: Gyoten) kenki amount from 10 to 5 or giving Hissastu: Gyoten 2 charges and increasing the cooldown from 10 secs to maybe 15 or 20 seconds.

Looking forward to seeing if these suggestion get implemented in a future patch.

Thanks

I would argue that Six-sided Star is already the cleverest "range" attack among all melees. It covers two gcd and gives you a speed buff. This skill alone shows that devs understand the proper way for a melee to greed. You hit and run, deal with AOE within one GCD and hit your next GCD.
I doubt they would give MNK another completely superfluous range attack.
