The positive to this is, the devs are aware of how poorly received Stormblood Monk has been. They acknowledged how much we didn't like Riddle of Fire's slow during a Q&A during sometime in 4.1 or so and I'd be surprised if they've missed the feedback on pretty much everything else wrong with the job. With Bard and Paladin going into Heavensward, it resulted in them being overhauled into the most popular iterations of those jobs ever. That is why I can still say there's hope for Monk, they have overhauled jobs to great effect when they actually knew what the issues are.

I'm just praying we get a an overhaul like Bard or Paladin and not one like Stormblood Machinist.
