Monk and Samurai Action suggestion

Boss hit boxes are so massive these days I don’t think anyone needs upgrades to gap closers and even if we argued that they did need some form of gap closer six sided star is meant to be MNK’s because it slows down the GCD in order to allow you to leave the boss and then come back

If anything I’d nerf NIN’s ranged potential then actually force melee downtime to justify their massive damage

Hi there, I understand that some bosses does have a big hit box but that doesn't neglect the fact that when you are not using any weapon skills or casting abilities (GCDs) or even oGCDs. It's a loss of uptime and it affects the cooldowns of GCDs of the rotation after that. It's a huge factor when it comes to raiding and extreme dungeons. Ranged attack on melee can also help with certain mechanics where adds or some form object that you need to burst down while stacking with a party at a range. MNK will lose out on this. I hope you can understand this.

MNK doesn't need a ranged attack because functionally that is what Meditation is for. If anything outside of NIN, Monk is probably the melee that is most prepared for disconnects, it has the tools to be as greedy as it wants.

Monk can need it, because meditation has a long CD.

Best example the mob Boss from the new ini.
They create multiple times aoes, where the monk can not hit them. Other meele has distance attack to attack in the waiting phase. The monk can use meditation to hold up his skills (or open up his chakra). But can not attack in this time.

I had it multiple times, that i hated it, that i wasnt able to attack and needed to wait. And the samu can use the cap closer for attacking faster the enemy, after this waiting phase. Or, in some Story fights, where the Boss move very fast to a corner and create a aoe (like venat).
