Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Ramura_Sono]

Missing the positional on Bootshine isn't as bad as you make it out to be because a Crit still has a chance to occur even without a positional. In theory you could miss every Bootshine positional and still do the same damage as someone who hit every positional. It is still bad but closer to missing 4 other positionals rather than 7.

Missing the guaranteed crit on bootshine is worse, because we go from a flat 70% chance to generate a chakra down to around 20%. Bootshine has far more hidden potency because of it's interaction with Deep Meditation.
As far as Dragonkick is concerned, it's effect should have been something along the lines of "increases positional potency by (some arbitrary number or %)". A short timer is all that's needed to maintain the alternating betwixt Dragonkick and Boothsine within the rotation.

So, kinda like Dragoon's Raiden Thrust, but on all the skills instead of getting a bonus skill for doing that? I dig it.

Which more or less adds to both arguments of:


* MNK is too dependent on crits and gated behind all the RNG it has just makes it inconsistent.
* MNK's current design more or less is front-loading its power when it reaps the most benefits over one particular skill. Even if the math overall makes it all even in potency.
