How is monk after the rework?

[Powercow]

I think it's quite funny that despite this being obvious (if not outright said in some interview or another), there are a lot of players losing to the fact that MNK got watered down to nada.

GL was a system that didn't age well, and would probably mean a brickwall at some point, for that I'm glad it's gone for a new kind of mechanic that is bound to be inserted in EW!

A lot of us old Monk players are super jaded. I appreciate the optimism, and it's entirely possible Monk will get some cool, badass feature in EW that makes then super interesting and fun but... well like I've said before, if SE knew how to do that they woulda done it when Monk stagnated hard going into Stormblood.

I mean, Monk was gutted going into Shadowbringers and are you really going to sit there and say that was all just setup for the next expansion? What if EW monk sucks too, is that acceptable because obviously that's just setup for the NEXT NEXT expansion after? Is there some point we can say, hey, no, let's not make a framework for something good and let's actually make it good?
