The state of monks in PvP

[Mitski]

Hmm, I believe that melee classes need a ranged snare of some sort at the moment. I just think it's ridiculous how easily it is to be kited once my fetter ward/purify is down. We do good damage but I think the GL mechanic doesn't work too well in a PvP atmosphere(excluding perfect balance.)

I agree 100% that kiting is our biggest problem, and GL is the worst class mechanic in PvP. I'm just not sure on the best way to fix them.

If we don't have enough mobility we're weak, but with too much mobility we will be overpowered. Adding a snare is probably the biggest mobility change SE could make because it benefits the whole team. Heavy Resistance to Fist of Wind would benefit only MNK, so I think (properly tuned) it may be a more balanced option.

The snare may make double melee dps teams powerful, true. However I do believe we absolutely need a ranged attack for some form of damage while we're being kited, every other dps class has one, even DRG.
