With the sprint changes, what is the point of Fist of Wind?

[Silver-Strider]

Mechanically Monks seems to be top notch screwed.

What isn't wrong with Monks?

So many things wrong with this statement I had to amend it several times over.

Our DPS is fine solely because nothing has fundamentally changed with MNK since ARR
.
However, that does NOT mean the class is mechanically fine. When you have 3 skills whose entire purpose are to maintain your core mechanic (Form Shift, Perfect Balance, and Riddle of Earth) 2 skills that s*** all over that mechanic (Tornado Kick and Riddle of Fire), 2 abilities that are a DPS loss to use (Fist of Earth and Fist of Wind) a trait that's entirely existence is redundant (Tackle Mastery), 2 skills that have secondary effects gated by stances (Arm of the Destroyer's Silent and One Ilm Punch's Stun), AND are at the mercy of RNG in order to get 15-20% of your total damage (The Forbidden Chakra, Deep Meditation, Brotherhood) there is a problem.
