It can't be said enough times, I think I wouldn't even be complaining about the whole picture if Riddle of Fire wasn't so bad. I've main Monk since halfway on Heavensward and every time I pop that skill I feel all these years of muscle memory went down the drain, I always have to look my cross bar to make sure I even hit anything with a skill because the rhythm it's all messed up.
Lv 62 until right before RoF it's still pretty fun, even if RoE works only when it feels like, and Deep Meditation while not perfect made chakras an actually usable resource (But I still think it should be learned as soon as you get meditation since it's even more useless on lower levels now that purification is not necessary on big pulls and we lost potencies all across the board to make up for forbidden chakra which again, it's not a valid resource until 62).
