Make Monk great again! 5.4 Monk doesn´t feel like Monk anymore...

I would say Greased Lightning hasn't been a core component of the class since Heavensward. When it became impossible to drop GL at this point in time, it really had no reason to exist anymore. While I would have liked to see it become more important again, it's clear they didn't know what to do with it, and it's existence was a huge hinderance when it comes to getting new expansion abilities. Watching other classes get cool moves while you get your 5th move that saves GL feels awful. At the very least, I have hope that when 6.0 comes out, we might get some abilities that actually add to the class. I'm really jealous of dragoon getting a move that changes when they hit their positional and I feel like that would be great for monk. We the GL timer gone, we could use a second DoT again too maybe along with chakra being expanded?

I'd argue otherwise. It's very much been core to the job, so core in fact that SE literally didn't know what to do about it until they just gave up and removed it as a factor. Hell, ShB was when they gave us multiple means to keep the buff going.

Also core to the job, apparently, are elemental fists. Two of which are going to stay mostly ignored at all times. At least GL was something we actively engaged with in some fashion to build and maintain, whether we liked it or not.

But hey, Tornado Kick is relevant again!
