Monk Rework Suggestions

[SpeckledBurd]

I don’t think monk needs that level of simplifying just make the 1.5 gcd permanant and link grease lightning to building TK. We will lose the continous loss of combat pace. And Double TK would return without the unintended playstyle

I feel like that’s the easiest fix to the situation without losing half the kit mid expansion as I highly doubt they can extensively rework a full job mid expansion,

Monk deserved an extensive rework in Stormblood and they didn't give it. It deserved a more extensive rework in Shadowbringers and didn't get it. In spite of the fact that Monk has never had a need for more than one of the Fist Stances at any given time, in spite of the fact that Monk continues to have an obscene number of niche or useless actions and skills even though STORMBLOOD was the expansion where they were supposed to rectify that problem. And still it lacks basic quality of life. Foor whatever reason it has 5 skills designed around Greased Lightning upkeep to every other jobs 1-2 for keeping up their signature buff despite still being worse at keeping up. It still doesn't have a ranged poke, a back step, or a DPS neutral gap closer. We're still the only job that has only lost GCDs since the ARR rotation and gained none to our rotation.

I frankly don't care if it's not easy to do mid expansion, they're now two expansions late in dealing with the problems Monk has, and these are not new problems, they're problems its suffered from since ARR launched, but despite this fact the devs have the gall to act like Monk is decently put together.
