Well it started badly that’s for sure.

With GL forever lasting now thanks to form shift spam.

Positionals removed for 30 seconds with riddle of earth + 2 stacks of true north.

Riddle of flame no longer having a speed penalty

It’s become a lot more fun, stacks no longer irritate you and staying on 4 stacks forever is now completely viable.

I’d say monk has changed quite abit now into something much more enjoyable, although it is now considered more simple to play after 5.05.

If your interested in it I’d give it a go, a lot of people have now jumped on monk and it’s become a lot more popular then I’ve ever seen it, saying that I started the game just before SHB release.
