Small, balanced adjustments that would fix Monk's new kit

[Greywolfamakir]

Let me start by saying: this isn't a 'buff Monk' thread.

Brotherhood

- Damage buff now affects magic damage
- Chakras may proc from spells as well as weaponskills

This is the only straight up buff I’ll ask for, and it doesn’t affect our personal DPS; Brotherhood’s anti-synergy with magic users is daft – Battle Littany and Trick Attack affect everyone, and would still be more powerful buffs besides (which I’m not complaining about).

Limiting Brotherhood to physical damage makes Monk that bit less desirable in raid groups with casters, which almost encourages them to choose one or the other (which is unlikely to go in our favour). Reduce the Chakra proc rate if necessary to account for this change, but change it nonetheless.

ok...and isn't it a "buff Monk" thread?

Brotherhood affects magic damage will makes Monk really fun, its a really good "gameplay" change

it sounds more like a "make monk meta pls...." when tbh monks are really good right now.

MNK is actually in the same spot it was in before the expansion. Stuck behind NIN and DRG like usual plus with how popular SAM is its common for MNK's to be blocked from parties due to sharing gear.
