Don't get me wrong, the Quality of Life changes we got this expansion are nice, but to me it feels Monks lost more than we gained. Reviewing my post it seems more of complaint forum, and yeah that's part of my intention, but my initial goal was to frame the class in the way it's flawed to hope to reveal some possible ways for the class to be fixed.

So my question to my fellow Monks who may not completely like the changes as well, or to those who have completely dropped the class in general, what could be changed, or what is it we could hope to have gained?

It's hard to answer because honestly I was super content with Monk in HW and Stormsblood despite the RNG to ball generation. My raid groups favorite quotes from me playing Monk is when I pop Brotherhood and I yell over comms "GIMME YOUR BALLS!"
Yes for me, I got GL4 what I had wanted for years, but as I said it wasn't added as a straight buff for Monks, but just a slight gain from Fists of Fire.

Something I hope to see get changed not only the trimming of the abilities, but would be an addition to the main rotation. It's hard since it's been so cookie cutter since the beginning of time, but at the very least it would be nice to have SOMETHING new to the class besides more AoE
