Okay.

If you end up removing the style that defines a class, just to "balance" it closer to the other classes, you end up having basically the same classes. That would be real balance, but would be boring asfck.
Monks have to keep stacks up for as long as I can remember, if you take that identity away from them, it will be just like any other buff like heavy thrust,hot shot,storms eye or straight shot etc. .
They already lowered the buff of heavy thrust and increased all potency of drg skills some patches earlier to compensate, they could also just remove it and just have potency increases again. Keeping stacks up efficiently means you can play smart, take that away and you can play casual with same result. What do we want?
