An idea move for Monk

[Crescent_Dusk]

Every job in the game only gets five new buttons to push. So that's a silly stance to take.
Fists of Fire and Dragon Kick are part of the bread and butter of Monkhood. Shoulder tackle is an amazing utility for movement. Rockbreaker is the Monk's best potential for sustained AoE.
So only One Ilm Punch is the only arguably useless skill (outside PvP).
And if every class was based off Ninja's versatility, the game would be boring.

And those five buttons aren't as useless. I mean, come on. Fist of Wind. One Ilm Punch. Even Fists of Earth is sorta extraneous given that the damage classes take is balanced around what other classes have. Remove Haymaker as it currently exists.

Fist of Fire is a passive damage boost aura, nothing really engaging about it. Featherfoot is just a crappier, less reliable Perfect Dodge.

Rockbreaker sustained AoE is nonexistent. Maintaining TP is already strained as it is, if you even use Rockbreaker on an encounter without constant goads and tp songs, it's gonna be just bad and not every group has the luxury of a ninja much less one that will always goad you over the warrior or other dps.

By comparison on my ninja the only truly useless ability is Hyoton.

kiss of the wasp, hide, throwing daggers, 5th cross class skill since apparently defensive cooldowns are apparently useless as dps

Kiss of the wasp is not useless if you need a stun. Hide can still be used for add pulls. Throwing dagger is not a DPS loss if you're forced off the boss for some time. 5th cross class skill applies to the monk as well under the same standard.

And last I recall neither the kisses, nor throwing daggers, nor hide are JOB skills we were talking about. Because if we're gonna pull those, it's time to look at Arm of The Destroyer as well.
