Proposed fixes to Monk

[Takiwaki]

Does SE even read these posts? Its been years since people have been posting about MNK needs and changes and it still seems like Nothing we said made it on the list cept for gl4.

I am not expecting a miraculous rework but there are a couple little things I would like.

Firstly TK has to go, the entire premise of TK is flawed.

TK needs to be changed to a disengage ogcd that basically freezes GL and resets timer untill you start attacking again. Can add the SSS timer penalty to avoid spamming. This will give us breathing room for mechanics and fix dungeon issues between pulls.

SSS needs to just be a replacement of internal release. With how much of our dps focuses on crit rng, its stupid that SE took away any control we had over burst phases. Make it be 100% chakra on crit for a few seconds. This is be awesome in dungeons and during burst phases. Give it a long enough cooldown for balance

Riddle of fire needs to be changed, reduce the dmg increase but but an increased crit rate and get rid of the slow down. This way our burst phase with brotherhood and riddle will be filled with FB spamming fun since we lost all other ogcds

Give us back an ogcd lol.


Swapping stances is dumb, there is no need for that extra button press just to get gl4. get rid of it.

Anatman its good change to give one instant stack of gl then regen over time.

Also give more incentive for positionals beyond a damgage increase. Monk depends so much on it. How about every proper positional reduces the cooldown on true north?
