MNK feels dismal to play and it's not anything that can be fixed with a simple patch.

That's the problem. People keep saying "I wish GL was easier to maintain" ignoring the core problem that GL in it's current form, with the way fights are designed does not work well together. They clash very hard, and the ways to restore it also clash with how the fights are designed.

they likely have no concept of uptime, i mean, just look at drg nin and blm, they have a far easier time to keep up their timers, drg and blm whit a press of a skill they refresh them, while nin their timer last 70 seconds long(and if its going to drop they can just recast huton again), while for monk the best way to refresh gl timer is by maximizing your uptime on hitting the enemy while using the gl main skills when needed, so people who are used to those other jobs do not try to max their uptime
so if the player who plays monk panics(due mechanics or whatever other stuff) they end up droping the gl stacks completely, literally monk requires a cold, analizing and flexible mind at all times to play propely(just like jojo characters basically)
