Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Brill_]

Any concerns about the rework being released at the same time as the next raid tier?

Any concerns about the rework being released at the same time as the next raid tier?

A little concerning, but mostly because of their new philosophy of no job changes within the prelim patch notes which means most theorycrafting and optimal rotations will be worked out after savage has been downed by those players. This was similar in 4.05 as well when Savage came out as MNK saw changes to many skills there too and the optimal opener was changing every day for almost a week. Similar theorycrafting took a while during 4.2 and the TK rotation wasn't actually discovered straight away. I'm more or less certain the theorycrafters just gave in to the memers wanting to TK and actually found that it actually became optimal.

Overall, it will be annoying going into a new raid tier with such a huge change to GL but hopefully the adjustments made in 5.3 will help us transition more smoothly into 5.4 and it won't be so jarring.
