On the Nature of Monk

[Phidippus]

You have to take a hit for the effect to trigger.

The other fun thing is that you have to take damage from that hit, so if you have a sch who is good at their job, baby, you're losing those stacks anyway

edit: dang too slow

but yeah maining monk is an exercise in frustration
is your tank a fraction of a second too slow between pulls? enjoy sucking for the next 20 seconds! does the boss have between-jump phases less than 3 minutes long? of course it does, enjoy doing worse dps than jobs with more utility because your stacks fell off! is your tank watching their parse like a hawk and doing as little aggro as humanly possible? your face is getting eaten because even though you lost gl3 twice already, your aggro is still sky high and you have no way to dump it
allll of these problems have been complained about for literally years at this point so I doubt they're getting fixed, but, it would be nice?
