MNK 4.0 Changes . . . I'm not a fan tbh

Well, I really don't think a single OGCD will determine if you are good or bad, regardless of luck.
I mean, its not like all the other MNK attacks do -1 damage and only Forbidden Chakra does 5 millions.

Luck was already there ever since Crit has been a factor. And MNK had never been the only one affected by it.

Maybe not determine good or bad, but things like parser or FFlogs will but completly random for MNK, maybe more than the other job !
I'm sure after the release, we'll see some saying "Job is great, I can hit FB 10 time in the fight", and other "Job sucks, I can hit FB only 3 or 4 time in the fight"
They said they want to reduce the gap between good and bad player, and RNG will not help !

It seems like when SE decided to take the title of "Max Damage, low utility" from Monk and give it to Samurai, they had no idea what to do with us.

I feel the same ! We shoul be at the SAM place and they shoul have their own spec !

Riddle of Earth has some serious problems if it's meant as a means of sustaining our GL3, since it's both dependent on us taking damage and it only acts as a refresh instead of just granting it. Since it's just a refresh, if there's more time between the boss being targetable and dealing damage than there is Greased Lightning timer, it's going to be lost, and based on every fight in the game so far, that's gonna be the case the majority of the time. It also has anti synergy with Scholars and Nocturnal AST, since if they shield you for more than the hit is, your stacks will also not refresh.

Riddle of Earth completly kill Tornado Kick ! It's only a refresh and fact is, we all prefer to keep our GL. If Riddle of earth grant to us 3 GL stack, we will be able to use TK and regain our GL after. They have to rework, Riddle of Earth, or Tornado Kick, or Perfect Balance !

The problem is, that all the new stuff we got as Monks are very situational and very RNG ! The synergy between some of the new and older move isn't that great.
