The Monk Temple Reborn

The AoE skill action is clearly non-GCD (no skill has a CD, as would happen with a GCD attack). The 2 on the left are probably GCDs, possibly not though. The two on the right are Chakra stack skills due to being the only two things possible to be unable to be used while the GCD is available.

If I had to guess, I'd say the initial reports the guy made are correct and Chakra is on the GCD, primarily meant for downtime, pre-battle buffing, and if you run out of TP.

What in that picture makes you think they are GCDs?

Btw, the same guy that we have put all our trust in for info said this on reddit: "Here's the skill names in order of their appearance: Forbidden Chakra - Chakra - Elixir Drive - Purify - Tornado Kick." Maybe we are missing something, but looking at the abilities, the last 2 ones clearly are grayed/blacked out and the first ability is not... Makes no sense that you can't use Purify, but can use Forbidden Chakra, since they both cost the same.

To me that looks like a false statement from that guy, and it wouldn't be the first... I won't trust anything he has said, that nobody else haven't said too.

EDIT: That, or there is something else we don't know, which that guy should know about and tell us...

See I think that first icon is not Forbidden Chakra, but looks like the "Move Form" ability, as it has been mentioned here that if it was Forbidden Chakra then the icon should have been greyed out as well. Although, this means the Forbidden Chakra icon is missing in that screenshot. It may share icon with the Chakra ability itself (2nd icon), although this is another speculation.

Forbidden Chakra sharing icon with Chakra... never thought of that, but kinda weird for TP ability to be on it's own then. Could be the case though. I haven't payed attention to all jobs, but I think the others only get 5 total new abilities, so maybe they wanted to keep that for MNK too. They could have just added a 6th icon for MNK in that picture if they wanted after all. We will know very soon.
