RIP MNK 1.x - 5.x

[Sqwall]

You're talking over most people's heads. This is something majority of people either can't, or most likely, don't want to acknowledge because their false sense of class difficulty based on positional and asthetic that in the end amount to something artificial.

At best, it's artificial, at worst it's unnecessary.

NIN has mudra. Good design
SAM has Sen. good design
DRG has blood and eye. Good design
MNK had GL…oh wait. MNK has chakra…a 1-2 button damage dump. Hardly compelling. Ok, MNK has positionals….that’s is thing. If positionals are compelling gameplay then every melee should have 6 to deal with. Oh wait…..none of the other jobs care enough to ask for positionals because they are a stupid way to give gameplay to a job. Especially when that job centers itself around the lazy design.

Blitz will be MNKs gameplay. Like mudra,Sen, dragon blood/eye and I can’t wait

Yea, I think this is a better direction overall than what has been happening in prior expansions. It's not like they got rid of all positional either, only got rid of two.
