Monk should be more rewarding

so....leviathan is not very kind to monks at all.

I know this fight is easy and it's on farm status just 3 days in so it's nothing to be worried about but all the dives forces you to drop GL and during the 4 orbs phase melee dps is severely punished due to inability to apply dots to multiple targets.

I can totally see myself farming this solely as a drg who can buff bard attack, backflip out of heavy and in general maintain a healthy dps.

The job needs some very needed tweaks and one thing I would like to see is greased lightning moved as a passive effect instead of something activated and then afterwards looking over the positional requirements of the job because it needs some serious tweaking. Its the only class that I've seen that has the biggest issues dpsing in the game.

I was thinking that in order to ease the stress of the rotation, it'd be nice if there was an ability that automatically refreshed demolish for us within the combo system. I've found that a great deal of monks are simply skipping or neglecting their DoTs; despite how integral it is to the system.

Monks may be weak to GL dropping mechanics but we don't need hand holding for the actual rotation.
If people are neglecting their dots, that's a player problem. They should just stop doing that.

A shorter PB CD or an ability like the pvp one that instantly grants GL3 (with a reasonable cooldown) would be best.
I don't think we're that badly off, but we suffer from mechanics more than others.
