A high potency skill we literally never used before will now be every 45 seconds. If they just straight add 40% potency to all skills to compensate GL as a trait, combined with their speed; Mnk is going to be a BEAST. We don't even know what Anataman is going to do. This will lead to either Mnk becoming one of the most played dps due to power and ease.... or nerfs.
I COMPLETELY agree. The great equalizer for monks was the absence of using TK, which should be a HUGE part of our damage. To compensate our potency is being raised, but I agree that SE is overlooking the fact that current monks don't even use TK, which ultimately brings our overall DPS down. With the rework implemented and TK every 45 seconds....BEAST mode engaged truly.

Heck, my new test opener is: Form Shift -> Twin Snakes -> Tornado Kick -> Forbidden -> Elixir -> Brotherhood -> RoF -> Snap combo -> Demolish combo -> Perfect Balance -> Dragon Kick -> Bootshine -> Dragon Kick -> Bootshine -> Dragon Kick -> Bootshine. My current rotation is out the window completely, and as you mentioned anatman isn't even locked down.

Yes Monk is a beast now with this information, and yes will it be nerfed? Of Course.....but it may be close to what the other jobs are getting in potency increases as well. Maybe it will all fall in line.

RIP GL.... RIP.
