Sorry mnk and mch... no love for you during this patch :(

The heat changes are the biggest WTF I have seen. Instead of bringing us up to Utility parity with BRD. They instead decide to make MCH less immersive, now you have to do a minimum of 5 Attacks (Definitely more with the Reloads) before you can do a Cooldown, and 10 Attacks before you can Overheat.

Trying to time Overheat with Wildfire is going to be the biggest pain in the world. They should have atleast made Flamethrower work like Stun Gun in PVP so it forces you into Ovearheat immediately. Otherwise you are going to need to prepare a good 20 Seconds in advance to get into Overheat for wildfire, and this is going to include having to hold Reloads.

That or use lolflamethrower which is such a DPS lost I contemplate taking it off my hotbar everyday.

MNK is actually in a much better place.

With Ast, Drg, Sch and Brd giving out Crit Buffs to party members. Mnks might actually be able to catch up to Sam DPS. Its unfortunate that they didn't modify the trait to include Job Abilities or Auto Attacks instead of just Weapon skills, but overall, MNK is not in a bad place.

MNK does have a list of worthless skills, and with one of the smallest kits in the game, its a wonder why that is. One Ilm Punch, Arm of the Destroyer? 2 GCDs that are effectively worthless. It's quite funny, MNK is the only class with a single target GCD that has been essentially worthless and unused since this game has started, yet they refuse to remove it or make it viable. Instead they nerf one of our oGCDs to try and make this GCD viable.

It would have at least been better if they mapped Touch Of Death's DoT to it to make the class a little funner.
