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

[MomoOG]

Monk AOE aside, based on this video from E3, Monk still looks... terrible frankly.

Based on tool tips, Riddle of Fire still has it's de-haste effects, most of the GCDs still have their nerfs, and Tackle Mastery still...exists.

Riddle of Earth hasn't been changed at all (IE, it's still just a GL refresh, not a , so it still has all of the issues it inherently comes with by existing) and the fight itself shows the inherent issues with the action. At 4:20 seconds (lololol) Susano goes invulnerable for exactly long enough for GL3 to fall off before coming back at 4:49, meaning most of my fears for the action were in fact warranted since nothing about the encounter design has changed and this ability will be incredibly fight specific.

What happened to trying to remove extremely Niche and useless skills for Stormblood again devs? I'd love to see an answer to this.

He is gaining forbidden chakra so slowly in the fight like wtf? What is the point of all this focus on forbidden chakra when it is a none factor in a fight? There is absolutely nothing new to be excited about monk after watching that video.

We already knew that the rate of TFC use was going to be super low, less than 1 a minute from Deep Meditation, so it's not a big surprise. But watching it happening just kills my motivation for monk. Like, he uses TFC, gets one chakra almost immediately after, then doesn't get a second for 12 globals, and then doesn't get the third for another 23 globals. And this is supposed to be a central part of MNK DPS in SB? What even were they thinking?

yoshida: lets make monk play like machinist!

probably is what they though, i highly dislike what they add rng to anything, is what they can't learn what not everyone do not enjoy that?, is one of the resons i dislike machinist, and i am sure many others dislike it for that same reason too
