New MNK is too reliant on staring at an UI element

Literally no career monks wanted them gone in the first place?

lol yes!
We actually would LOVE to not only have our timers back but Greased Lightning back too. Just give us tools to manage it, not a single serious Monk wanted these things removed.

Honestly, I am having a blast with the new monk it's super unique and its finally a crit focused DPS with the Fury chakra boost the crit rate that honestly is a good idea with the new DRG rework being absolute s- Monk and reaper are both my favourite DPS right now

I'm feeling like we're in the minority, but I recently picked up MNK and I'm having a lot of fun with it also.

As a background, I never liked the low duration Twin Fangs DPS Buff and DOT and found them annoying to keep up.

I do sympathize with MNK mains who hate the change though.

Yep, fundamentally the issue with Greased Lightning wasn't inherent to the job or even the concept of it being a buff meant to incentivize you to hound the boss to upkeep it, it was that the tools to actually upkeep it when that was literally impossible were always insufficient by design and that our recovery tools were hamstrung compared to other similar buffs. Greased Lightning actually worked very well at the end of Stormblood when Monk had recovery tools on a reasonable cooldown, and if the devs didn't want people spending GL on Tornado Kicks then the answer was always to make Tornado Kick do something else, not to make Monk's recovery terrible.
