Monk ability ideas?

[Obsy]

The thought crossed my mind recently about the upcoming MNK class and what could be suggested to further set it apart from PGL, and hopefully make it a viable choice for party setups.

Going off of what this job/class is typically known for (high HP, h2h, Chakra, and Counter), quite a few of these abilities are already essentially covered on the Pugilist side of things (Chakra being Second Wind, Counter involving Haymaker/Simian Thrash). Other trademark abilities like Boost/Focus are brought in from the side by ARC's Raging Strike and LNC's Ferocity...

So, what else can we come up with?

Perhaps a "Drunken Fist" ability that grants a timed (60 second?) buff that drastically drops accuracy in return for an equally drastic increase in evasion and/or attack power? What else?

Self-Immolation.

Chakra can still be implemented. Second Wind is a good healing ability, but Chakra can restore HP, remove status effects and offer an evasion boost.

Boost itself can still be implemented, and you could perhaps stack it like in a certain other prior installment.

Meditation could offer you an HP/TP regen.

You could also have elemental fist abilities.

There are countless possibilities.

[Serdapi]

Since your most pug abilities cost MP to use and featherfoot gives a little mp back I can see Second Wind giving Hp back and Chakra giving MP back. Chakra is known for both HP and MP.

Well Asuran fists is in the dats, has been for a while. Its most likely a relic from the old offensive/defensive stance system pug operated on during testing. Hell there is a lot of stuff rolling around in there that they could easily revamp.

I must've missed it, when/where was MNK confirmed? Thanks.

It's been confirmed for a while... Along with all the other jobs.

I recall PLD, WHM, BLM, DRG BRD, WAR... but for the life of me I do not remember SE ever confirming MNK, although it makes perfect sense it's on the way.

They also showed the AF for MNK again last night, it's not that bad looking.
