How can you continue to ignore monk completely?

[Shurrikhan]

Honestly, I think Chakra should just build up automatically like any other job's resources. Having to manually build it up is one of the reasons the job treads into "this is exhausting to play" territory. It doesn't give the player time during phase transitions to rest given everything else it has to do.

Alternatively:

What if, like most job resources, it was only buildable during combat (ofc, Deep Meditation would likely have to be moved to level 54), but...
Our ramp-up was also decreased?

I.e. if Fists of Wind gave 5% Attack Speed increase, and the damage bonus of Greased Lightning were reduced slightly, the difference being moved into raw potency of most skills (with Tornado Kick, ofc, receiving less benefit).
