Monks very weak. Need rebalance

You can be suspicious as much as you want :) I dont care if you dont believe me. I saw what i saw in parser. Also we dont need that much changes. Just increase our buff durations and lower cooldown of perfect balance. Lightning with 3-5secs + twinsnakes 2-4secs and lower cooldown of perfect balance 30-40sec.

And if you read my original post i pulled at last boss of AK 305 dps ^^ While killing adds too well actually one add because we ignored second add and just killed the boss.

there is no need, the time you need to stack em again is very quick and MNK have permanent 5% dmg increase and in combat ll be 15% (100% up time if rotate right) is not that bad really

In my fc there is only 1 monk lvl 50 well geared, and god... he really hits like a truck.

Yea it's mostly just QOL changes that Monk needs. I would like to see GL increased to 15 seconds, but losing one stack at a time vs the whole thing. I would also like to see Shoulder Tackle reworked a bit.

I've played classes in other games where the rotation isn't meant to be fulfilled in practice. Is it absolutely essential to have the class be able to keep GL up 100% of the time?

I rather think of GL buff as a buff. Not that you're doing 21% less damage than you're supposed to when it's off. Rebuilding the momentum is part of the meta-game.
I don't disagree that 15s is much to ask. That's fine really.
I just don't agree with the conception that the class has to be so clean that you have to be able to fulfill your maximum potential is every situation.
The class just needs to be balanced with room for error in relation to classes where it's more automatic than manual. It seems to be already since monks are pretty OP in perfect scenarios.

DRagon kick useless- I dont see any difference in damage when enemy has blunt debuff. Dont say, that only GL must be longer- other skills need to be changed too

She has a 2.05 GCD AFTER gaining Lv.3 greased lighting. I have Darklight gear aswell and my GCD is 2.39 out of combat and 2.02 in combat AFTER gaining Lv.3 Greased lightning

It takes 3 rotations of 3 attacks to get back to greased lightning 3 (9 attacks). That's not that fast.

So the highest stationary DPS Class in game atm needs a buff? I'm confused.

Just started turn 4...curious to any monks who have done this fight do you feel like we are the worst class for this encounter? We do have low aoe when perfect balance isn't up and the 360 cleaves don't help, just curious.
