Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Shurrikhan]

Hypothetically speaking, if there were a free button made from Brotherhood/RoF's merging, we'd have a new slot to take up anything. My suggestion? Another way to spend Chakra.

While, depending on its implementation (and, slightly, on our Chakra-per-minute), I too would like to see another Chakra skill, let's note that we're not so strapped for space that we'd need a merger just to allow for that.

As mentioned before, I'd prefer to remove Meditation and Form Shift as buttons, providing their benefits continuously/granularly and passively over time not refreshing the GCD, largely because that'd mean TFC and Enlightenment could be freed to be used at any amount of Chakra, thus relieving our banking/timing issues.

If we go the route of having more to our Chakra skills than just a ST and AoE filler skill each, it'd be cool to see some bonuses to each such that they're variably best used at low or high Chakra, situationally (i.e. based on sync in relation to key GCDs in rotation and/or key CDs macrorotationally) but still consume all available Chakra.

For instance, a skill which, alongside its damage, generates a buff at value regardless of Chakra expenditure would want to be used at low Chakra while maintaining that buff. Alternatively, if the duration of the buff still varied with Chakra, then it'd still be worth rushing out before another hit that makes good use of it. This would of course pair best with a more predictable (i.e. not abnormally RNG-based) version of Chakra generation.

Alternatively, you could have one of those Chakra skills drain Chakra over time or per weaponskill to vary things up that way.
