The general direction of job changes is straight asinine. Literally NO ONE benefits.

alternating dirty/clean PB

Can you clue me in on what you mean by dirty vs clean PB? (please)

It's not the exact name for it but since PB doesn't end with giving you Formless Fist in ShB since Blitz didn't exist yet, there was a minor bit of adjusting you had to do because of that. (It still technically exists at level 50) If you ended a PB phase with DK and Leaden Fist up, you would had to have used DK again right after to make sure that your next Bootshine was under Opo-opo so as to not waste the crit (Dirty PB). If your PB ended with Bootshine, then you would have to still DK with no form, with your next Opo-opo being DK again (Clean PB). You generally alternated between them but in some specific scenarios it was better to use a raw Bootshine.

I've leveled monk but haven't put enough time into the job to discover such nuances - thanks for the explanation!
