Monk new abilities talk, kind of discussion, thoughts so far?

We got absolutely devastated. Out of all the jobs, Maybe only DRK got it as bad as Monk this expansion.

Riddle of Fire still slows us down.
Tornado Kick still eats our stacks, except now we don't even want to use it because Riddle of Wind is gone, and Perfect Balance is on a 2 minute CD.
Riddle of Earth is useless now that we have Anatman, but we still have it.
We lost Internal Release, Howling Fist, and Steel Peak, skills that we use all the time, but kept absolutely useless garbage like Fists of Earth and Riddle of Earth.
All we got in return is slightly better AoE and easier GL management.
GL4 adds nothing to the rotation, just makes it faster.

I can't believe they had the audacity to say they listened to the community and fixed Monk to make it fun. They made it even worse than it is now.

Yeah like i said on another post, this feels like the natural progression for MNK... in 2.x not 5.x

monk is in the best place it has ever been. been playing monk since 1.0. They finally removed useless im punch and ugly howling fist (more like baby flames from baby's fit). The ONLY issue is that they gave in to their fear and put six star on a 4 second cool down in fear of "going too fast" and keeping ROF slow down. Get rid of the fear and give us the speed the class will be near perfection
