I actually chose to focus mnk in the expansion because of how complicated it seemed. The current system just doesn't flow well for me though and you get almost no direct buffs to your damage when actually in combat besides elixir field and the new shoulder tackle.

If it was somehow viable to use tornado kick or build chakra in combat I'd be 100% ok with everything but right now either one is a dps loss. And when you are out of combat you are more focused on form shift to keep your stacks so having to spend 7.5 seconds to build up your chakra is usually neglected. So I'd hope that they either change how meditate works by making it a shorter cast or by making it useful to actually use it IN combat.
