OK. Now with the logic you have in the comment above "Ninki previously scaled with auto-attack speed, which in turn scales with Attack Speed. Now both scale with the rate of their resource-generating GCD actions, and thus with Huton" Because if this were the case I should have 5,234 GL to spend, because i'm just doing my rotation, but it's not...i'm capped at 4. If I could 1 GL to increase my DPS without a whole dump that would be great....but i'm not a NIN!

When youcompare this to Monk which has 2 resources "GL and chackra"....does NIN have to spend huton (GL) timer to gather nenki (chackra)? NO? ok then put your hand down.

I agree that by not having huton up you don't gain nenki faster...that's simple. Monk on the other hand HAS TO SPEND GL to preform a skill which slows monks down to gain GL slower and to add insult to injury less crits for chackra.

Perfect balance is a crutch, and it should work like Kosattsu and grant 3 GL instantly *poof* back in the fight on a 60 second cooldown. This is why monks NEVER use TK, it is completely useless unless your in a drunken raid. Same with SSS, it slows us down for NO REASON. It has the same effect of Form Shift, but form shift has waaaayyyy less penalty.

Now this is the same problem as if I never had huton up or shifu, jinpu. It's not ideal to remove these buffs, but NIN and SAM can apply these buffs effortlessly compared to monk which takes 3-4 GCD's WITH PERFECT BALANCE. NIN can do this in the blink of any eye with 3 mudra, and SAM in just 2 with Meikyo Shisui. And not to mention the timer is x2.5-6 LONGER then MONK's GL timer.

I won't argue this anymore as this will all potentially be a subject of the past with 5.4 "fixing" monk, but time will tell.
