    So I was thinking about how Dragoons got BotD and BLMs got Enochian and how those work, and I was thinking...

    Why couldn't WM work like that?

    Lasts X seconds, increases damage, doesn't put cast times on abilities.
    BUT
    Empy increases duration of WM and has a 2.5 sec cast time, still requiring you to stop moving at least for that.

    While we're at it, you could then gate Sidewinder behind WM, have it take off WM duration like Geirskogul, increase damage to balance.

    Doesn't completely reverse how Bards played for 51 levels. It only expands on what they already did by giving you something extra to maintain to up your damage.

    BotD abilities also have really low potency when landed outside of position.

    From 290 down to 100. A 190 potency loss.

    I think that's as absurd as the cast times behind WM. So if SE fixes the cast times, they should fix our potency loss too.

    The mechanic itself I think is cool, though plenty of Drgs don't like it.

    To be frank, I think they should remove positional requirements from everything period and just normalize the damage of the attacks to a balanced average between the two potencies.

    The positional requirements are pretty much the only thing keeping me from loving Monk since I feel punished every time I try to solo something in the open world as a Monk because monsters do tend to not like me circling behind them.

    And I'm not gonna lie, that's probably one of the biggest reasons why I don't main MNK today. Playing MNK in the open world feels terrible in ways that no other job feels. Not to mention the positionals make no sense with the lore of the job...
