Soooo... Shadowbringers Monk

[Diarslade]

So this is my first post. I am not max level but I have a brain and have an idea I’d like to share with the community about how to fix monk in a way that doesn’t require a huge overhaul.

Suggestion 1) Make TK give a buff that makes your next 6SS give 3-4 stacks of GL. (Depending on fist stance.) And keep 6SS as it is. This, I think will create a window where you can use your oGCDs for big DPS, use all of our abilities and the rotation feels natural.

2) allow TK to be used anytime, but it does increased damage based on the number of GL stacks you have. If the dev team insists on making TK eat all your stacks, increase the damage on TK to make it worth using.

3) Make TK generate chakra based on number of GL stacks consumed. To me as a new monk player, Chakra doesn’t feel intuitive to generate. Even with the trait that generates chakra on crit feels odd. Shouldn’t chakra be generated naturally in our rotation?

As you can see by my post, all of the suggestions revolve around making TK worth using. It feels strange to me that such a skill isn’t worth using. If the dev team wants to keep the skill, it needs to be worth pushing, otherwise it’s just there. That’s not good design, imho.

4) I like anatman in theory, but feel it should generate GL faster than PB. Idk if it generates GL from 0. Some say it does, others say it does only in combat? Idk, either way. I feel for the button to be worth pushing, it needs to generate GL very quickly. I like the idea that it has a cast time, but I think the current rate is 1 stack for 3 seconds? That’s 6-9 seconds of just standing around or 9-12 seconds. (Depending on stance and if it can generate from 0 stacks or not.)

Just increase the generation to 1 stack per second to make it a viable GL recovery option.

These are just my thoughts. Idk if they would actually work, but there you go.
