How can you continue to ignore monk completely?

[Fendred]

So far the most tedious thing about my monk is the dancing from flank to rear positionals. I feel a smoother way to do the rotation would be first combo being rear x 3 then 2nd combo being flank x 3 then back to rear x 3. As it is now it just seems like I am on crack dancing with the bosses behind.

Honestly, I think Chakra should just build up automatically like any other job's resources. Having to manually build it up is one of the reasons the job treads into "this is exhausting to play" territory. It doesn't give the player time during phase transitions to rest given everything else it has to do.
