The dev team did a fantastic job on the MNK rework. I love it.

Have you even played MNK before EW?

The class is totally different, and the flow has been improved in so many ways!

The core rotation is the same as before, just with less oGCD´s and positionals.

What was before a kind of dull and repetitive "just churn out the rotation" DPS class is now something that has a good toolkit of options for different scenarios.

There are no options "for different scenarios". You´ve a strict rotation to follow on bosses and for dungeons you do nothing else than before... AOE spam. There are no options unless you wanna do less DPS on purpose. The only options available on MNK are the disengage-tools, stuff we had before too. You either move in/out without anything, you use SSS, you go for FS, chakra-spam or TC. That´s all variety the class offers.

And just for the case that you mean "2 different openers", well... many doubt that double-phoenix was planned and we had 2 openers somewhere in the past too. Some other classes do even have 3+ openers with different spellspeeds.

We get solid AoE rotation with some wicked-cool visuals, such as elixir field and enlightenment.

Elixier Field has been a thing before as oGCD with a more frequent use. Enlightenment has been a thing before too, so yeah...

And the beast chakra meter has added much needed complexity to the combat loop.

How does it add complexity? Because you gonna use 1 more button after each PB window, meanwhile sitting on freeform?

Before we used PB for a BS-TK-BS-TK-BS spam... now we gonna play BS-TK-BS in 2 out of 3 cases. And the last case is the standard 123 play you always do.
How does it add complexity? Please tell me...

(You can´t even fail unless you spam EF or RP on purpose. A missclick is gonna rescued with less potency, even not targeting a boss is rescued, PR can´t fail no matter which combo you spam, so well...)



It doesn´t seem that you are an experienced MNK player, if even an experienced player overall. You claims tell that atleast...
Good for you to have some fun, but all what you claimed just don´t make sense when skills, we already had before are you major-claims as much as the "improved" rotation, which is the same in 95% of the fight as before, just with less stuff to do meanwhile playing 123 456.
