Monk Rework Suggestions

(edited to fit everything)
Tornado Kick-No one wants to lose all their stacks for an off-GCD.Either remove the loss of stacks entirely,or only have it cost 1 stack.Alternatively, it can add a damage buff on execution,so that even when losing all stacks of GL,you would at least have something to fill in the gap.

Stances-I actually really like how Dragon Kick buffs your next Bootshine,and I think Twin Snakes and Demolish should do the same thing for True Strike and Snap Punch, respectively.Twin snakes can add an effect ( like, "iron fist") making your next True Strike deal double damage and also open a Chakra,and Demolish could add an effect that makes your next Snap Punch also do double damage and reduce all your off-GCD's by 1 second (these are just examples).

Fists of Fire/Wind/Earth-These are all pretty lame.Instead,lets make switching between them mandatory and provide better, temporary effects.Fists of Fire could replace Riddle of Fire,dramatically increasing damage output but slowing down weaponskills, which would be the window to use any off-GCD's.Fists of Wind should do the opposite, dramatically increasing skill speed (something like Machinists old Rapid Fire) and also adding addition potency with every attack (similar to Paladin's old Sword Oath) and add a cool visual similar to Ninja's Bunshin.It should be worked in so that you flow between both stances.Get rid of Fists of Earth completely,and instead give Monk a new ability for reducing damage temporarily,like reworking Riddle of Earth as follows:

Riddle of Earth:Monk stands still and channels,reducing all damage taken by a large percentage.At the end of the effect,heal for 100 potency for every attack sustained while channeling.This is way cooler and provides a better mechanic then what Fists of Earth and Riddle of Earth originally intended.

More Off-GCD's.We lost a lot of off-GCD's in Shadowbringers,so low level dungeons feel especially boring.We should bring back all the off-GCD's we lost so we have more to do during what is currently our Riddle of Fire.

Perfect Balance:Just make it give us max stacks on use,or bring back Internal Release and make it give us max stacks on use.Monks struggle in dungeons to keep stacks up and it's a real pain.Also, the duration of stances needs to be increased to better match the duration of Greased Lightning.Too many times I'll still have time before losing GL stacks, but the stance duration runs out and I lose Coeurl form before I can attack.

Form shift should just go.Either that or change it into an off-GCD ability that opens up all stances for your next weapon skill,like a miniature Perfect Balance.This would be great if we also changed Perfect Balance to just give us max stacks instead.

These are just a few things I thought of off the top of my head,and I feel like Monk would be a lot more fun with these implemented,or something similar.

That's my thoughts on Monk! Thanks for reading!

Sasume Mithrandell, Midgardsormr

I only had 3000 characters to use so I removed my intro:

"I hate to beat a dead horse, but Monk feels very lacking in Shadowbringers. On top of that, when syncing to lower level dungeons, Monk has very little to work with and is a chore to play. The following are suggestions to rework Monk in a way that makes it much more fun to play, and feels more monk-ish. Monks are all about fast and furious martial arts, so anything contrary to that just feels bad. Most changes I'm suggesting would apply to level 50+ so syncing to do low level dungeons will feel a lot more fun."


Also I removed all my spaces, sorry if it's harder to read that way. I also suggested maybe adding a heal effect to Boost, no biggie but would be cool.

more or less the same suggestion i have in other "MNK suggestion" thread

- tornado kick change either to....
A. same as now but double the potency
B. become a weave skill that has 30s CD, no more consume GL
C. same as now but only take 1 GL instead of all GL

- meditation should generate all 5 chakra outside combat, incombat still 1 as usual.

- SSS skill become an ogcd skill with 30s CD or so, function wise SSS is a good skill to refresh your GL time but that 4 seconds of doing nothing is just weird.

- anatman only cancel when you auto attack or using skill (except meditation), it should still working when you move. you kill an enemy but timer is at 2s and you use anatman.... ok what then? enemy is in front of you but if you move, it cancel the skill and 2s is not enough to reach the enemy, whats the point lol, right now anatman is just a glorify exclusive pose for mnk only.

right now i like how each of our combo attack has additional effect like leaden fist, increase damage and so on. i hope the dev can put something for our last combo skill true strike which right now still has no additional effect.

There are some easy to implement fixes I think that would help Mnk feel better after playing it at 80 in both ex trials and dungeon runs

Riddle of Fire: Reduce the dmg increase, remove the slow and add crit up to it. so we can depend more on chakra during burst phases.

SSS: just tack on an additional freezes decay of GL as long as you are not doing damage. This can fix dugeon issues in between pulls.

Anatman opener needs to go. Not sure how to fix this. only thing they can do is increase the time it takes to generate the first stack of gl.

We definitely need an ogcd back. They took away too many already.

I dont care much for TK rotation but I think TK needs to be 100% crit direct hit when used, if SE wants it to be used only during transitions.

Edit: after thinking about this a bit more. SE should just get rid of TK as we know it. Make the current TK animations do what SSS does and add a new buff using the SSS animation that increases chakra generation to 100% on crit for a few seconds

these are all great suggestions, keep em coming!

I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time, and this is what I’ve come up with.

Reworked positionals: snap punch and demolish only add a stack of gl when executed form their positionals.

While at max stack of gl positionals are now removed and you gain access to a new form, primal form.

I honestly haven’t put much thought into what you would get in prima form I just thought it would be cool to split the rotation into a pre gl and post gl phase. You would get an aoe and single target attack. They would both have a 100% chance to grant a chakra.

Also increase gl to 30 sec. it’s just way to short atm.

Definitely more could be added but that’s all I got for now with my character limit.

Please let me know whatcha think.

That a cool idea, making the positionals grant GS and unlocking a new one at max. It never did make sense why a monk would flank or rear attack someone tho :P Also yes, GL needs to have a longer duration, or maybe just drop one stack at a time instead of all of them

This might not be important to many but please, give us a disengage skill, the one class with tight timers where you want to make sure you get away form an enemy using a coeurl and jump to safety and we are the only ones that can't, it is not like shoulder tackle works like dancer's.

Monk rework thread, eh. Fun stuff.

Increase Chakra to 7 light and 7 shadow on a gauge akin to the Red Mage, but keep the cool blips, different colors to differentiate between the 7 light and 7 shadow Chakra.
Light Chakra are opened whenever a Monk lands a bootshine crit. 1 for a crit, 2 for direct crit.
Shadow Chakra are opened when a monk consumed light chakra on a cost of 5 light opens 1 shadow.
TFC and Enlightenment still cost 5 but the purpose of 7 is to allow overflow without wasting procs.
Tornado Kick costs 5 Shadow Chakra to use, consumed 3 Greased Lightning and puts the monk into Chimera Stance for 2 seconds (allowing for the use of any weaponskill which requires a certain form without being in that form.)
Form Shift is now an OCD skill with 60 second cooldown and puts the Monk into Chimera Form for 2 seconds, allowing for the use of any weaponskill which requires a certain form without being in that form.
Perfect Balance grants 8 seconds of Chimera Form and acts like True North for it's duration.
Greased Lightening lasts 20 seconds. Forms last 20 seconds.
Anatman is a channeled ability that grants a stack of GL every 4 seconds. First stack after 4 seconds of channeling (no Anatman opener).
SSS remains the same but Meditation is not put on the GCD since it's not a weaponskill.

Bonus round: Dragon Kick, instead of giving Leaden Fists, upgrades your next Bootshine to 100 fists - a new animation for bootshine because I really wanted 100 fists this expansion. Same potency and stuff, just 100 fists please :D

hundred fists would be so cool :O

I mained MNK and ive been playing DRG for a bit and it feels great, and those combo changes and traits are kinda what monk need imo. their combos lengthen and change depends on positions and if precision requirements are met? sounds familiar lol. There is a weird thing too that a lot of the classes have evolving skills, such as potency buffs and additional combos where as MNKs just get to click the same buttons faster/slower.

Just throwing out some ideas:

Speed up forbidden chakra and implementing it earlier as early as 30 ( could be one ilm punch first to forbidden chakra like jump and high jump respectively, with deep meditation trait, maybe bring back howling fist at a lower level and have it evolve into enlightenment?)

Chakra system could combine both crit and positionals ( normal meditation (30% chance from crit, 50% from positional), deep meditation ( 50% chance from crit, 70% from positional, deep meditation II ( 70% chance crit and 100% from positional). You cannot manually recharge chakra anymore.

this sounds like a cop out but gl and chakra system should work together, give have an enlightened state at EXCESS chakra and full gl meter (maybe at level 50 or 60) ( similar to life of the dragon and blood of the dragon, gives access to SSS, TK and riddle of element buffs.)
enlightened state would cause gl to decay by one stack at a cost of one chakra.

the fists/riddle system need to be reworked similar to songs for brd, give these an identity. earth stances for maintaining gl, fire for chakra and gl dump and wind for speed and gl build up.
RoE & Anatman - refreshes gl timer when hit, and anatman builds gl at the cost of chakra not server ticks.
IR & RoF- boost crit, to boost crit and dmg, converts chakra into dmg boost similar to shake it off but with dmg. 2% per chakra
PB & RoW - PB works as normal to RoW ignores all positional requirements and doubles gl stack gain from demolish or snap punch ( better true north).

Axe Kick ( the one pvp )- OGCD - base potency of 100 w/o stack consumption. 100 pot per gl stack consumed. 60 second cooldown
SSS- 600 pot , buff refresh at the cost of 3 second or so.
Form Shift- refresh Gl timer,
Tornado Kick- a push away form shift, 50 pot, changes you to next stance.

it was mentioned earlier that maybe our positional's could proc GL but the problem is that we would never be able to stack solo since the enemy is always facing us. Monk always has a hard time solo cuz of that :/

It's been a long time but I think I remember at the start of 2.0 you needed to hit positional to continue your combo and everyone HATED IT. It's likely never going to happen because it severely limits the power of a job because a enemy turned two degrees to use a move.

I want the GL counter to be paused after combat so that we don't drop them inbetween pulls.
Maybe a buff that you get after combat has ended that pauses the countdown for 30 seconds or something, I get frustrated very easily with slow tanks and how I drop my stacks inbetween every pull...

Also, how about Six-sided star allowing us to use Tornado Kick without losing our GL stacks and then just give either of them a longer cooldown?
I just want them to be useful...
We get these new abilities but they feel totally useless outside of niche/ rare situations.

that's what i hope from anatman in the beginning. i though it was something like a skill that pause your timer and only work again IF your char auto attack or use any skill outside meditation, its simple really i mean just make something like this...

anatman - freeze GL timer until your char initiate auto attack or use any skill outside meditation/sprint. - 30s CD

That was only for Dragoon. Monk got the forms regardless of hitting positionals. In 2.0 however, Dragon kick did no damage, only put blunt resistance up, demo only put a dot up with no damage, true strike was weak af but had increase chance to crit from the rear. Monk was just bad in 2.0. But Dragoon felt even worse, it's why you'd see Dragoons only use full thrust combo without heavy thrust.

I don’t see why we can’t just go down to 1.5GCD permanently and a revamp to greased lightning to being purely around TK.

Greased lightning could change to a combo count, for completing a combo with the correct positionals.

Stack of 3 = 1 stack of tornado kick.

Allow it to hold 3 charges.

Then u could centre around TK bursts without the unintended playstyle.

Change Antaman to instantly generate 3 tornado kick charges on a 2 minute CD

Change six-star to a medium CD high potency hit.

This in my mind atleast seems like the easiest fix with enough change up to settle things. Not to mention fixing some long term monk problems in dungeons.

Being half our antaman usuages would be around riddle of fire it will slow the GCD down enough to be high ping friendly.

It’d only give us 2 OGCDs total. Which may warrant a small amount of ping unfriendlyness when we use them outside burst windows.

But it’d still remain largely unpunishing.

I’d basically just apply most of the quality of life Black Mage has received to Monk to streamline the job and eliminate redundancy in the kit.

Formshift: Refreshes Greased Lightning when moving from Coeurl to Opo Opo. This is analogous to how transpose works.

Six Sided Star and Tornado Kick: Both are now GCDs with all of Monks’ timers adjusted to compensate. After GL is kept at its maximum power for 60 seconds, Monk gains the effect “Battle Zen” which can be spent on using Tornado Kick, a high potency Weaponskill with an AOE component, or Six Sided Star a higher potency single target skill. This is basically Monk Foul and Monk Xenoglossy.

Perfect Balance: Cooldown reduces back to 60 seconds. If Tornado Kick doesn’t burn stacks and is rotational, it no longer needs such a long cooldown to prevent shenanigans. However with the current Dragon Kick>Leaden Bootshine interaction they may need to change this skill to merely grant maximum Greased Lightning instead of its current ability to freely use skills.

Anatman: Now on the GCD. Extends Greased Lightning to maximum duration, charges 1 chakra and extends your form to max Duration. This is basically what Umbral Soul does, but Monk.

The Fist Stances: All removed or turned into traits, they can be replaced by things that Monk lacks in its kit like a Ranged Poke like piercing talon and a Backstep.

Deep Meditation/Deeper Meditation: Chakra is now gained upon executing X number of weapon skills, is a flat percentage on every executed Weaponskill, or is instantly upon executing a Coeurl form skill. No more RNG on RNG.

Riddle of Fire: REMOVE THE SLOW THE DEVS KNOW WE HATE IT. WHY DO WE STILL HAVE TO ASK ABOUT THIS?

Riddle of Earth: Removed completely or turned into a single target shield Monk can throw on a tank/other party member. I feel a partywide shield is more appropriate for Ranged DPS. Further on Monk in particular which is supposed to be High Damage, low support when it already has Mantra it would make Monk a little too supporty.

Brotherhood: Still only affects physical damage but procs on weaponskills and spells. Monk shouldn’t lean on all physical parties for max damage, we’re supposed to be moving away from this kind of dependence on party comp.

I don’t think monk needs that level of simplifying just make the 1.5 gcd permanant and link grease lightning to building TK. We will lose the continous loss of combat pace. And Double TK would return without the unintended playstyle

I feel like that’s the easiest fix to the situation without losing half the kit mid expansion as I highly doubt they can extensively rework a full job mid expansion,

Monk deserved an extensive rework in Stormblood and they didn't give it. It deserved a more extensive rework in Shadowbringers and didn't get it. In spite of the fact that Monk has never had a need for more than one of the Fist Stances at any given time, in spite of the fact that Monk continues to have an obscene number of niche or useless actions and skills even though STORMBLOOD was the expansion where they were supposed to rectify that problem. And still it lacks basic quality of life. Foor whatever reason it has 5 skills designed around Greased Lightning upkeep to every other jobs 1-2 for keeping up their signature buff despite still being worse at keeping up. It still doesn't have a ranged poke, a back step, or a DPS neutral gap closer. We're still the only job that has only lost GCDs since the ARR rotation and gained none to our rotation.

I frankly don't care if it's not easy to do mid expansion, they're now two expansions late in dealing with the problems Monk has, and these are not new problems, they're problems its suffered from since ARR launched, but despite this fact the devs have the gall to act like Monk is decently put together.

That works out, it would push mnks to gear themselves toward SS. personally i would not mind.

just another thing to add, if anything can we get another animation for leaded bootshine? cause reusing the same bootshine just with bigger numbers and a text buff, feels about the same as a fire 1 doing as much is not more dmg than a fire 4.
maybe its just me, but im just getting a bit over seeing the same animations over and over, couldnt we have a similar treatment treatment like mch and heated attacks with our animation and combo progression.

Heres to hoping for a revision for MNK.

i used earth stance and riddle of earth in eureka, they are pretty decent if you are tanking/solo/getting hate.

personally i like these type of role bending skills existing, even if they are not commonly used.

Monk felt amazing in stormblood tho? O.o I disagree it needed reworking in Sb iterations It was highly enjoyable and had I dunno how it felt on release of SB but during the time I was in SB which was in the second half the job felt awesome. and it felt alot better then those changes you suggested would.

Putting everything on GCD, would Create a Restrictive and Static rotation, as u'd leave urself No Wriggle Room. Monk is suspose to be Fast, not GCD Locked Hell, the job would Dissolve to a RDM without RNG Feel, and thats not really a good steer at all.
i dont know why u'd want to put Tornado Kick onto a GCD, if anything we lost too many OGCDs coming into Shadowbringers, which doesnt feel great.

we're a Monk, We're a Melee Job, a Lack of OGCDs would litterally feel Awful, have u seen our APM since SHB?... its Below 40, we're litterally Slower then Dragoon Gameplay, why Slow it even further?

Monk hasnt gotten that many problems surrounding it, and i dont think Turning it into BLM is a good idea, they're two very different job fantasies, and Audience Expectations.

- Monk Needs rewards for doing Positionals and Combos Correctly.

- Monk Needs to be Slightly faster in APM.

- and Monk needs to be dropped to a 1.5GCD Finally. being at 4 GL doesnt feel good, it just feels like We're on some delay before we Play properly. GL needs to be Changed to being Directly Responsive to TK.

Reworking GL to Each Combo+Position correctly Performed gains 1 Stack of GL, 3 Stacks of GL = 1 Charge of Tornado Kick, on a OGCD. it'd give us back that Double TK Feel, without implementing a Rotatino they didnt want. if they go further and just change Antaman to being a 2min CD Which Recharges 3 Stacks of TK it automatically loses all its problems.. and just take Six Star off and put it as a high CD high Potency DPS Skill, on a 30sec CD or soemthing.
