Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[SpeckledBurd]

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.

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.

For all that the 5.05 changes were appreciated, they were also almost entirely addressing old complaints in a completely not-timely manner, some of which even dated back to ARR.

-Mantra having a range bigger than a thimble has been requested since ARR.
-Form Shift refreshing Greased Lightning was requested in Heavensward.
-Meditation not requiring spamming out of combat has been requested since Heavensward.
-Riddle of Fire's slow was the biggest complaint about Monk in Stormblood.

The only new problems they fixed were:

-Form's increased to 15 seconds, which addressed a system wide change for 5.0 they forgot to implement on Monk.
-Riddle of Earth needing an entirely new effect because Form Shift was going to replace it while actually being effective.
-Meditation and Enlightenment requiring you to be in combat which fixed... I'm not sure what? It was probably done to prevent using a Forbidden Chakra at the beginning of a fight and immediately getting another one or something.

They were the sort of changes that would have been made for launch if the devs had actually been taking peoples feedback from Stormblood for its Shadowbringers iteration. But the mere fact that Riddle of Fire kept its slow when it was universally hated is pretty indicative of the devs not taking feedback at all.
