    Monk, Bard, or Mch

    I'm a monk boy, but lately I've gotten insanely bored with the job and I'm looking to restart my love for the battle system. Hell even breako is kindof boring to me atm. - I dunno if it's burnout or if I'm just tired of melee- but I started looking into Mch and Bard.

    I leveled bard to 56 but I'm not feeling it... it feels horrible waiting on procs and not being locked into a hardlined rotation feels odd. Mch is still in the baby 30's but doing deep dungeon it feels fun but I worry about procs and RNG. I could just say buck it and level sam but that doesn't solve my issue or being bored with melee in general.

    So against my inner demon I'm asking you guys... for someone who hates RNG what class should I go with. Keep in mind I'm used to being a monk so fast cast times and feeling like a street fighter character is what I'm used too. Will Bard or Mch provide me a new outlook and catch some fun back? Is it better to stay on bard even tho right now at 56 it's not grabbing me or should I go Mch and risk not knowing how that feels since it's only 34?

    Please T.T

    Go with MCH since you hate RNG. Its a high activity class much like MNK with no RNG in the class at all. Also you are in luck, MCH gets to its high activity play for hypercharge windows at level 35.

    BRD RNG sub-level 60 is locked to 20% Repertoire. Idk why this is a thing, but it is. At level 60+, it increases to 40% Repertoire. At level 68, you get Enhanced Empyreal Arrow, which forces a Repertoire proc with each Empyreal Arrow use; and post level 70, you get an Enhanced Quick Nock trait and a Bite Mastery trait that improves Bloodletter/Rain of Desth resets during Quick Nock spam and increases Refulgent Arrow procs respectfully. So the RNG is much more tolerable at higher levels compared to lower ones.

    MCH has a fixed rotation that isn't set in fishing for Refulgent Arrow procs or passing time for Repetoire procs.

    Also Reassemble>Drill is the most satisfying ranged ability combo in the game.

    I'd say MCH when it comes to fun factor. Imo it's a lot of fun and it's one of the faster paced jobs in the game.
    Also when it comes to MCH, when ur lvl 50 you pretty much got your whole SINGLE TARGET rotation already. So around 50 you should know whether you like it or not.

    Most things you get past 50 are upgrades to existing abilities (potency increases & animations) & AoE abilities.
    It does get a bit more fun past 50 but you should have the main feel of MCH by then.

    Just know that ranged are in a bad place atm. 10% percentile monk is higher than a 95% percentile mch on some fight.
