Thread: Monk ignored for 4.1

Add to that that SAM also has a GCD reduction, granted, not as high (10% compared to 15%) but it is still encroaching on the speedy side when I would have put it on the slower heavy hitter side.

It can also delay oCGDs as well. If you double weave during RoF, one of them is going to be misaligned once RoF is dropped, meaning you will delay it more, then there is the potential that when RoF comes back again, it's misaligned with the GCD more, it's just creating a scenario where oGCDs can be shifted back further and further.
