Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Shurrikhan]

There's also the fact Mirage Dive feeds into Dragoon's Job Gauge where as Assassinate does.... jack all. I know this is a MNK topic but out of all the things to not get axed on Ninja is Assassinate, really? I don't think it's been relevant to our kit/lore at all so why keep it around?

I mean, I'd like to keep what little apm remains, so I'd most want it to just be either (1) retooled to again be usable against low-HP enemies, and preferably generate some Ninki, while being unlocked against an enemy regardless of HP for a free charge after DWaD or (2) hotswap into DWaD's place for its 10 seconds' activation time after the prior has been used. Removal wouldn't be a noticeable blow after the blunt force trauma of the unnecessary slow-downs, though.

There's keeping it because it's effective and fun and keeping it because "Well we need to push a button here or else it feels slow". Like if it did more than just damage maybe it wouldn't feel so empty and wasted of a slot(Cough, Assassinate is Jugulate locked behind another timer).

Oddly I think MNK kinda has that same problem of wanting to hold onto things as is without trying to future proof/work with new parts. But again, my experience and info is second hand but it just sounds weird all they've tried to keep for MNK.
