Thing is, even before 5.05 Monk was still really strong. It was like neck and neck with DRG. But it still suffered from a very archaic playstyle and 2 very inflexible mechanics on top of the slowdown that everyone hated. Post 5.05 old problems went out and new problems arose, such as Form Shift making 2 of this expac's skills redundant and the job still being way too revolved around GL.
