RIP MNK 1.x - 5.x

Nothing wrong if monk loses more positionals. I dont know why some monk players are so hell bent on them keeping the 6 they have. Two is enough.
Always saying it wont be monk if the positionals go etc etc. We all know that is nonsense. Squares main job should have been to remove as many positionals as possible while making the job more engaging, positionals aren't engaging the way they are implemented on monk, and in fact drives a metric ton more players away than it attracts.
What I find HILARIOUS, is that when i said take away DoTs from summoner, i got raged at like i get raged at here for saying take away the positionals, and guess what???? They took away summoner DotS, and not a single blasted complaint. Why? Because they fixed the damn job to make it more engaging to play with good QoL changes. This community is something else sometimes man, like really, unbelievable...

I am sick of square making things easier as if we are a bunch of babies like you and others make us out to be. Do not play the class if you are so fed up with the characteristics that monk has had since 2.x (if not 1.x). If you want monk to be more like DRG and SAM which have less positionals.. then go bloody play your SAM or DRG.

Don't bother with that guy tbh, just look at how he talks in other threads.
He plays the victim and acts like anyone who disagrees with him is like insulting him personally or something.
He at least seems to understand that what he's saying is unpopular amongst MNK mains but he always frames it like '' poor me I am going to get called a moron and be bullied for my hot take '' while at the same time talking shit about the community.

Nothing anyone says or explains to him actually sticks it all goes in one ear and out the other.
Luckily the removal of Raptor form at least comes with some justification on the devs side in that MNK is going to be busier.
Personally I still think it's kinda pointless, POSITIONALS ARE NOT DIFFICULT JUST WAT WHY ARE PEOPLE HAVING SUCH SEVERE ISSUES WITH THEM??????

But... If that's really how the devs feel and it's not going to be done overall later then I can accept it along with the rework.
It still feels totally pointless tho and I might even do them anyway it's just going to feel odd to me especially with how fast it moves.
It's not like DRG where your gcd is slow and it's more methodical.

Edit: Merged posts.

Brotherhood should just be a 60s CD imo, same with Riddle of Fire.
A 120s CD almost feels like a '' waste '' of a button to me, it's like you press it and oh great now that button is just useless for 2 whole minutes.
90s is far worse tho imo it needs to be even with the rest.
