Double True Rotation Monk Complaint...

[RemoveMateria]

This isn't /just/ about the ugly positional dance (there is no such thing as 100% free positionals even now), or having to git gud at a complex job or about monk "deserving" to do this much dps with double true, the whole point of this post is the amalgamation of all these issues which is: it feels like I'm playing an oversight in job design.

If not for double-true being possible since ARR, I would agree fully.

But, it has been. It's nothing new. Thus, I must only tangentially agree, and for different reasons.

Admittedly, I dislike that double-true no longer also means double-boot, which meant (if caught w/o PB) side-side-back-back-back-side-back-back-side in ARR -- much more manageable.

The oversight isn't GL4, though. The oversight was giving Dragon Kick effectively 425 potency (637.5 effective potency) via its Leaden Fist buff.

Possible, but it never pulled this far ahead of single true rotation. It's basically mandatory. You don't have to go out of your way anymore with skillspeed, now the optimal amount of "normal" skillspeed to have allows double true.

Because you are. This isn't supposed to be Monk's rotation anymore that Anatman was intended to be used in the opener. They have slapped some skills onto Monk then panicked and slapped on some more in the last patch. This isn't an oversight, they've ignored Monk core rotation since A Realm Reborn and all these bandaid fixes to keep it in line with other jobs have created this Frankenstein rotation.

Similar to accidentally creating the Tornado Kick rotation by changing Riddle of Wind last tier.
