Monks, Legacy Controls, and Auto Attacks

I'm having a hard time in general with monk, I've been getting some good training from a fellow FC member on rotations and positions, but I'm just having a hard time surviving fights, since we are always right in the thick of everything. Anyone have any tips on this? Sometimes I can't even stay near a boss without getting my face kicked in instantly. Maybe I should have been a caster dpser lol.

That comes with the territory. It's a matter of learning when it's safe to go near the boss (or finding out what's damaging you and learning how to avoid it) and being spatially aware.

Any real advice would depend on what you're getting hit by and why.

Some bosses have deceptively large hitboxes so it may be worth trying to step back a bit until you're at max range for whatever you are fighting. Sometimes being 1-2 steps further from a boss makes a huge difference when you have to run out of AOEs.
