MNK Anatman and Perfect Balance

[wereotter]

Anatman is designed to be a downtime skill, so I get that its uses will be niche, but I do think they could have done something more in line with Improvisation with it. Like maybe if you're in range of the monk, you take less damage, and the monk generates chakras while using it.

Upgrade mantra and use anatmans animation. It doesnt directly shield or heal but buffs healing skills in a 15 yalm radius for as long as you stay still.

If Anatman has to change reduce it's time to 10 seconds or so to match pull timers and just make it grant you one free perfect balance at the start of a fight if you do the full time and make PB combat only, stop the -24 second PB opener before it even exists.

Yes, though you can keep them separate too. Mantra can then continue to be used in combat, similar to how shield samba can be used in combat, while the damage reduction would be the skill you have to stack for and the monk not move. It would be similar to the two dancer skills, just in reverse. Doesn't have to be exactly that effect, just add any party benefit while also generating chakra stacks over time would make it a viable skill.
