Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Sion_Atlasia]

I mean IMO they flat out lied about improving monk in shadow bringers and there as been radio silence on any of the issues since.

Personally, this is what I find most disappointing. I don't have anything to offer in regards to monk's current design, as many in this thread have already pinpointed the issues and offered interesting solutions.

But to vent my own thoughts; I've been playing monk for years (since Heavensward) and will continue to do so, but Shadowbringers has been a particularly hard pill to swallow. I was in sheer disbelief with how monk launched in 5.0. "How could this have happened? Surely it was tested before being shipped, right? What happened to the promises?". Monk has always been neglected and I thought launch 4.0 monk would be the worst of it, but this one really stung. It felt like a bad joke, almost malicious to me.

The adjustments in 5.05 were greatly appreciated but there's still much more that can be done. Broken trust can still be repaired. And as the OP said, we shouldn't have to wait until 6.0.
