Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Calanque]

I'm not sure how you struggled to find any explanation as to how to change the job when there's so many posts out there, including half of this thread.

It’s indeed hardly fair to claim that we do not propose changes. But there is a lot of talk about removing things. It’s not because we want to gut the monk even more than it is right now. It’s simply because it’s easier to reach a consensus.

For example, if I say: “The current Tornado Kick is unsatisfactory and the devs should rework it or give us a tool to quickly gain back the lost Greased Lightning.”, few will argue against that. However, if I say: “Guys, I think we should change Tornado Kick into the following skill.”, like I did a few posts ago, there will be less agreement. It is to be expected. There is a lot of valid ways to rework the monk. Frankly, the bar is pretty low. Few reworks are received as well as FLeet229’s QoL changes. We each have our own opinion, after all.

So, at first glance, it’s easy to see us as players complaining about issues without being unified by a specific desired rework. Truth is, we are just hammering home the glaring problems hoping that the devs won’t mess up again next time.

P.S.: Just to be clear. I am not refuting what you said, Sora. I’m just starting my reply to Jirah from your last sentence.
