Monk questions, and requests for QoL improvement.

[Ricdeau]

Well if you want QoL changes for active use. Then look no further than Mediation and Tornado kick. They have their place currently, but in a high uptime fight you will generally only use your Chakra stacks that you built before the fight only once. Tornado Kick has very limited application since it consumes your GL stacks. Consuming the stack is fine in itself, but the damage is pretty low and the timing on when you use TK is very strict so that it doesn't end up causing a DPS loss because you still had a few seconds where you might be able to get off another GCD and autoattacks not benefiting from GL3. These two abilities can provide further activity in battle if they were tweaked, however, as it stands they were designed solely with downtime in mind.

I don't believe that every move needs to have application in majority of the content. Why do you believe that Fists of Fire needs to be interactive? It's a just a stance I see no reason why it would need to do anything else over what it does. In an ideal world all abilities would have their uses and no class would have abilities that get neglected, but sadly that is not the reality of things. There's a number of abilities across the various classes that fall into the category of either occasional use or limited to no use. I think it's best to pick your targets carefully because the dev team does react to fan outcry, and sometimes this will come at the cost of something could use help more.

Of the 2.0 abilities the main one I'd like to see reworked is One Ilm Punch. It would have been a fantastic PvP only move, but it has no real application anywhere else aside from a couple FATE mobs and a dungeon boss. Even then at the current point in time it's so high cost that you could probably work through the Stoneshield in just a couple actual damage attacks.
