    It may be better to put the effect to regain spent stacks on 6SS so that you TK>6SS and turn 6SS into an oGCD.

    I have only dabbled in monk (its on my to level list) but that is my suggestion. Other then that I would suggest bumping the GL timer up to 30 or 40 seconds to make it so that it is easier to maintain stacks and make it so that GL stacks are lost one at a time so that if you do have to take a stack loss its not as punishing.
    The difference between Anantman and Meditation is that Meditation is designed to build a resource that is supposed to be spent (which is actually just Samurai's version of the level 54 Monk skill Meditate), while Anantman is designed to maintain a buff that is meant to be maintained or to build that buff back up should you lose it. Now that Form Shift exists and Monk can refresh it's buff 100% reliably without any nonsense like NIN/BLM/DRG, I'd go another direction. The design of Monk seems to have settled on Greased Lightning being a buff to maintain and not a resource to spend, so we should be rewarded for maintaining it. Refreshing GL X number of times should allow Monk to use Tornado Kick as an AOE nuke or Six Sided Star as a single target nuke. Anantman similarly needs to get completely overhauled because the way it's being utilized in the opener is pretty clunky (and also probably not intentional whatsoever).
