Monk Positionals 6.0

[ssunny2008]

it's unfortunate, but i feel like they're kind of just testing the waters with these changes. i think they planned them out before even media tour, but figured it would be easier to digest at 2 separate times (twin/true first and then boot/dk later). that or they put conflicting information in the job guide to see how people would react and if there's too much backlash they can easily just go "my bad, the skills at the top are wrong, boot/dk didn't lose positionals," but if there's no much resistance they can go ahead and get rid of the 4. just my thoughts.

Seriously... removing even 1! positional is too much. There is no need to remove any of them. They just take possibilities to grow, to get better or to optimize the output away from the class. Not to mention the whole fun aspect which comes from being mobile at any time. I would always prefer positionals on any skill (even oGCD´s) instead of a Blitz-mechanic, which is nothing but 123 - burst, 123 - burst from any other class. The rinse and repeat rotations without any positioning and stuff is nothing but boring.

personally i am fine whit them removing 2, albeit i prefer if they remove none, especially since monk now has almost literally zero ogcds outside of mnk selfbuffs, brotherhood and then TFC or enlightment spam under brotherhood , and spaming that will only happen once every 120s
but i guess this happened because yoshida and dev team felt overwhelmed by the job gameplay somehow?
