The Monk Temple Reborn

[Mahri]

So on my alt character, I picked monk up. Super, super noob question, I know, but is it just me, or is it massively more complicated than dragoon, which I've been leveling on my main character here?

Really loving the overall aesthetic to it (less kung-fu mystic, more swashbuckling brawler) but I try putting the rotations to use on big FATEs or dungeon bosses and get so very tangled up. Level 31 on it now.

Reading over the OP, there's a lot to digest, and the theory all makes great sense, but what I'm essentially after is less in-depth endgame-based strategizing, and more along the lines of "the stupid idiot's guide to not being terrible at this".
