Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Ultimatecalibur]

It almost feels like they've palmed all 'engagement' into the same positionals we've been doing for 6 years and given up on any other form of engagement. I think MNK's numbers are as high as they are currently because they're at least still really good DPS wise. Just a shame that after 6 years MNK has had next to 0 evolution.

Monk has been doing the same 6 postional weaponskill rotaion since ARR and lost 2 of its single target alternate weaponsskills. Monk has kind of devolved in its rotation rather than evolved.

100% agree. Rotationally we have devolved and while everyone had at least one thing gutted from their pre-existing moveset except cross class skills MNK has lost the most; Howling Fist, ToD, Fracture (though a CC skill was still valuable on MNK) and Internal Release are the big ones. And then we lost minor skills like Featherfoot, Haymaker and OIP and while I don't miss them as such because they were bad, there was no reason not to rework Haymaker/OIP into something that COULD have been useful and relevant for more than a handful's worth of content. 7 skills total gutted from MNK, 4 of which saw use in every fight. Definitely a de-evolution in terms of rotation. Wonder what we'll lose next.
