MNK Feedback (long)

you can bypass the 1000 character limit by eddit your first post ^^.

I'll do that then. Thank you.

My concern is not so much that MNK lacks a place in groups or lacks power. As long as there are people who want to play MNK, there will be MNKs, and groups which use them. I feel instead that the class is not as fun and well-designed as it could be. On jobs such as SAM and RDM, there are very few "useless" abilities. Everything they have is useful in some way, and "fits" into the job's playstyle somehow, and the jobs themselves have more things to consider than simply executing their combos in the correct order, or hitting their positionals. MNK lacks this, I feel.

They are suffering from what I believe is overdesign. Many changes and additions have accumulated over the years, without the job being examined as a whole, and how each part of it works to form a cohesive playstyle. Instead they have a core framework, and then instead of building on, expanding and deepening that framework, they just have various bits and pieces tacked on.
