HELL YEAH! MNK POWAH!! ò.ó/

I'd really want a decrease in the amount of tp that we need to use "arm of the destroyer" or "rockbreak", since i ran out tp really fast if i over-use it, but... oh, well, learning to manage tp is one of the points of being dps

Why would you want to change fists of Wind? The skill is really good in situations where you need to be fast with your feet.

Which are.....? sorry, being monk since 1.0 (well, 1.XX, you know) and... for me is almost useless. When do you want to use it? I did it at the beginning of Titan HM when i wasn't aware of his mechanics and i wanted to be more cautious, but now i use Fist of Fire always, only changing sometimes to Fist of Earth to reduce some damage from unavoidable aoes (and usually i forget to do it lol)

So BRDs can "help" with healing in PTs like DPS casters? I'd rather the classes stick to the role that they are, more DPS helps healing more than crummy healing done by a DPS class with no mind.

Did a Bard out-heal you in 1.0 or something? Lol. Is there any reason to be against an option for a Bard?

If they were to get healing back they would OBVIOUSLY get a cure potency buff, I want Bard's to be more support like they were before.

Or at least get the healing song the Bard mentor uses in his level 50 quest.

I agree with you on avatars but completely disagree on dragoon pets. None of their lore in FFXIV has anything to do with building a relationship with dragons/wyverns and is in fact quite the opposite. Can there be a job that plays with dragons? Sure. Make a tamer class that breaks off into beastmaster and some kind of dragon tamer jobs, but leave dragoon lore alone.

He was joking and making fun of peoples previous posts in other threads.

Basically:
- Why the hell should Summoners be able to summon a full sized Ifrit?? Absolutely ridiculous.. and you agreed lolol.
- He knows the lore. They KILL dragons. He was being sarcastic. Way to let it go over your head. :P

Monk has the strongest DPS in the game. They do not need buffed.

Please know the class/game mechanics before you cast judgment.

Auto-attacks only. Skill speed does not affect auto-attack delay. Requires time fighting outside of Fists of Fire. As mentioned, PB already works like that.

It's disrespectful to criticize balance changes for a game/job you're ignorant as to the mechanics of.

My understanding is that GL does have an effect on auto-attack delay. Is incorrect?
