Monk Positionals 6.0

[Gemina]

For the nadi, 1 out of 3 will actually be spamming those same 2 skills, boot/dk except you only get 3 charges now. the other 2 of 3 nadi are just you doing your combo like normal. we lost 3 ogcd's with shoulder tackle, elixir field and tornado kick. they did they put tk and elixir field to the blitz system, but that's just a different gcd to press. riddle of wind actually looks pretty ridiculous since it's just a button you press and you do more autos, doesn't change anything except the dps number. add into that we lost 4 out of 6 positionals. sounds like we lost more than we gained

and as for sss: " Upon execution, the recast timer for this action will be applied to all other weaponskills and magic actions." doesn't sound like it can be used directly after a gcd

You can reword it, but it still translates to more than two skills now being applicable in PBs window. Even if you want to look at it as 6 stacks, that is under the previous PB with a 90s CD; you now get two charges of PB within 80s, and each of those have three stacks, so you're not even losing that.

MNK oGCDs seems to have shifted into non-direct damage abilities. RoE, RoW, Thunderclap all will need to be weaved when their need arises and cause no damage, but benefit the MNK in different ways. I really like this, as just about any oGCD that does cause damage just felt tacked on due to MNKs shear amount of speed. Losing positionals is not the same as losing skills. Again, I understand why this grieves long time MNK mains, but I feel they should try this new system to see if they feel they are actually still needed to feel that distinctive MNK flow. In addition, and this is purely QoL, but I strongly disliked not being able to see some of MNKs beautiful animations due to their oGCD usage whenever I was min/maxing.

I think you're right about SSS, but what made me question it is, "Does not share a recast timer with any other skill." Based off of that, it sounds like it can be used right after another GCD with the tradeoff of placing all your skills on its recast timer. This will be the first thing I try upon logging on without question. It is burning my brain.
