The state of Monk in Shadowbringers (long)

But that would make SSS nearly impossible to use at the times most aided by its actual effects?

We don't need complexity for the sake of complexity, especially in so convoluted or self-constricting a manner. SSS is a tool with a purpose that it currently performs reasonably well. To make it available only a third of the time would break that capacity.

I wonder if Square should have just reworked TK to have the same effect as SSS, I keep reading mostly positive impressions about it, besides asking for it to be oGCD.

I'd prefer to just have back RoW and thereby my TK rotation. We got nothing in their place with their removal. I guess they took (pre-Greased-Lightning-on-RoW, let us note) outcry of "better nothing than Tackle Mastery" both literally and achronistically.
