Monk Idea, no flames just ideas.

Seriously guys, it´s not about making positionals useless or to get ride of them, it´s about changing their impact.

And the idea wouldn´t even be bad, when PB would stay on it´s 90s cd in the future and both skill effects would´ve an internal cooldown like "the effect can only appear once every 5s.", so noone can just stay there and spam the button to get the PB burst as fast as possible.

Stuff like that is pretty common in other games to be able to use more strong skills. It´s some kind of reward, when you perform your rotation well.

But with 6.0 it just doesn´t make sense. PB on 40s together with the "burst window" system and defined mechanics in this game won´t work well. It would definately have more impact than just 30 potency, which i would highly welcome, but in case of DPS it would be a large gap from "no positionals -> all positionals hitted". Ppl would just start to cry again and again and positionals would go finally for sure. Or they would spam those skills to get more blitz, which is absolute pointless in case of gameplay.

I am biased since this was a suggestion I made but I think that Chakras should open up when you hit positionals instead of crits doing it.
At least that wouldn't mess up the rotation and it'd feel more rewarding.
Not to mention that RNG feels like ass and it'd make it not RNG and more predictable.

[...]would be to reduce the cooldown of Perfect Balance by 1 second.[...]

I need to see how the new Blitz mechanic functions, before I decide whether or not I like that idea... I will say that it makes me think of Warriors' Infuriate CD reduction gimmick, which functions, so that idea may or may not interest me, but I need to see how blitzes function, before I form a solid opinion...

That said, my initial thoughts are: (1) would more Blitz be fun? (2) how would this feel in a rotation? good or bad? smooth or clunky? / hence why I need to see how Blitzes function, before I reach a conclusion and come to a decision.

To be honest, while most Monk players seem to like or hate, and argue at a constant about, the positional requirements... I just do not care. I am neither for nor against, and just meet the positional requirements as much as I can. ...But this? Chakra RNG, and reliant on critical hits? That is the #1 thing that I hate the most about Monk...
but.. I have yet to ever see that as a complaint, except for now, in the 14 Monk Threads that I have read(very small, I know); so I begin to wonder if a lot of Monk players do not have a problem with it, and feel like perhaps I should not say aught about it, out of fear that the Monk players will come after me with pitchforks and torches, like they do in the positional requirements arguments...

That said, I like the idea for the Chakra resource to come from positionals, rather than RNG(which I hate) on top of critical hit RNG, at that.. which makes me hate it even more, and it annoys me that this double RNG issue is only no longer a thing all the way up at Lv74..(-_-)..20 levels and two expansion later!(much anger)
