- 10~/25 skills for MNK relate to GL in some form vs 3~/25 relating to Chakras
- What is even leaden fist and why on bootshine only? Why not leave it as a trait?
- What is Enlightenment even? We had Howling Fist serving the same purpose.
Leaden Fist is there to give dragon kick a purpose and still have two single target abilities to cycle through on that form in our rotation. With blut resistance (and all weapon resistances) gone they did this to make sure both skills serve a purpose.

Enlightenment is just an aoe chakra spender.

Both of these serve a clear purpose.

Greased Lightning is there to build up to maximum dps. Sure the ease at which form shift can now keep it up removes some of the depth in terms of using abilities to keep it going or reapplying it quickly, but that's the main purpose. Similar to say huton for ninjas, it's a buff to work towards rather than having max dps right at the start.

Other than true north what is cancelling the need for positionals?
