Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[3ureka]

I've only mainly leveled up physical dps classes, but are there any jobs that have a similar "double rng" gate?

Currently no, previously Bard had a chance to proc it's Repertoire stacks off of its dots Critting. They removed it because it made Bard synergize too heavily with Dragoon and Scholar.

Monk didn't get the same treatment when it came to being overly dependent on party comp through that (And Brotherhood for physical comps) because of course it didn't.

I actually really like that idea.

I was leaning more towards 100% chakra generation on crit instead. There would still be an element of RNG, but at least not double.

Both, I think, would require a potency nerf to the spenders, but being able to have it more often to weave into your attacks would make it feel a lot better.

The problem with any degree of RNG on Chakra is that it inherently works against Meditate's ability to act to mitigate down time loss. Considering Meditate is technically Monk's ranged skill at the moment, thats a problem. If we have no control over the rate at which we build Chakra, it's possible and likely that we will disengage from the boss and be unable to make the most of time spent away because we have Chakra already banked.

Yeah, but the RNG would at least be alleviated some by the guaranteed Bootshine crit.
