Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[SpeckledBurd]

Clearly not all. I saw "doubles recast time" and thought "Oh, primarily a disengage; could be pretty useful." My disappointment was only that it was too lowly tuned to ever be anything more than a disengage.

What's especially frustrating about Six Sided Star being just a disengage, beyond the obvious problem of Monk's kit already being a graveyard of overly situational skills, is that this expansion has seen multiple capstone abilities that are simultaneously the powerful satisfying big hit you want your capstone skill to be while also being skills that provide other utility. Just to name a few examples Star Diver is both a powerful oGCD that's satisfying to use and an additional gap closer every 60 seconds, Xenoglossy and Scorch are powerful finishers without cast times allowing for free movement (and in Xenoglossy's case you can stack them to use three consecutively with proper timing), and Shoha is both a free shinten every 40ish seconds and an additional source of potency from meditating in downtime.

If Six Sided Star had that kind of smart design and there were situations where you could use Six Sided Star without the extended recast while it still had the recast as a disengage tool, such as getting a free cast during Riddle of Fire or from Proccing Earth's Reply, then it wouldn't be nearly as controversial of a skill as it ended up being.
