Are the lvl70 MNK's having fun?

If it's any consolation, our number of useless abilities could be potentially awesome if we ever get an overhaul. They just need number tweaks to be good and no one will miss the old versions! Cheap and effective.

AoE chakra move? Arm of the Destroyer or Tornado Kick! Greased Lightning refresh? Riddle of Wind! Anything remotely useful to out kit via formless skill? One-Ilm Punch!!

The sad thing is a stun and silence are actually great utility, we just have them implemented in such stupid ways.

Stormblood was the chance for that overhaul. There isn't a chance at any real change for 2 more years now.

SB monk gets more disappointing the more I think about it. I don't care that monk is "meta" now because DRG got nerfed into the ground, I just want monk to be fun again.

That's not any consolation, it's an indictment of the Dev Team's complete failure to address useless actions on Monk during the action rework. Most of the changes Monk got didn't make actions useful, they were more like appeals toward the actions being useful while fixing none of the underlying problems. One Ilm Punch is now a stun, but it's infeasible to use because of how forms work, Tornado Kick had its recast reduced but it still has such a high use cost it's a loss to use, and Tackle Mastery and the Riddles try to incentivize not using Fists of Fire but fail because Monk is a DPS job so why leave Fire ever.

And frankly I doubt the devs will be held to task for this, the Monk player base is one of the smaller ones in the game so we can't make enough noise for them to care.
