Monk Identity and Blitz ?

[AndieEldritch]

I'm not sure where this rumor is coming from, Yoshi-P's recast was still sub 2 seconds so we still have our current level of Greased Lightning as our base GCD.
It's just "gone" in the sense that it doesn't have a timer on it.

Maybe it's something lost in translation, the wording during the presentation made out like we were still building stacks and they said something about it being removed.
Perhaps they experimented with bringing it back and then 180'd and for some reason still talked as though old GL was a thing.
Or maybe it's a one and done trait now rather than a progressive trait and that got mixed up in translation by the interpreter?

"The gameplay element of stacking Greased Lightning will be done away with - So to compensate for that Chakras will be unlocked at a lower level." the quote, which seems a bit redundant with that already being gone. [2:21:51 on Live Letter Stream]
