Monk Needs a Complete Rework

[Irisdina_Wiloh]

Mixed feelings after seeing what was on offer in the LL. I think for a rework of a job, they didn't spend enough time explaining changes they made. It also looks like the GL lightning effect on your character is now gone as well.

Overall, I am happy with some skill changes, stacks on PB is great, FS change is nice, TK is usable now albeit it's just a damage button you press when it's up and I guess SSS is now a budget disconnect tool to give you a little speed boost to get out of danger after greeding the hit however, we dont know what Fists do anymore, Riddle of Earth seems to be gone, Anatman is there but we have no idea, this was just too vague on some really meaningful things.

To be perfectly honest, I'm actually pretty upset about losing the GL animation. Imagine if they traited BOTD for DRG and removed the visual effect, I don't think they'd be very happy either. What a careless removal.

I KNEW they were gonna remove it, that was the cool aspect of monk. Now you don't have the cool looking aura like the NPCS have in story fights. Kinda kills my mood to play monk now, I'll stick with dragoon now/warrior and dark knight.

GOOD! Finally! Been hoping for this for so long, it's so annoying.

...sorry for those who liked it, I don't understand you, but sorry still lol...

>you thought the SFX for being under the effect of greased lightning was annoying
Why ever would you want it to go away? Do you hate fun?

personally, I like the the idea of Tornado Kick being more frequently used, but I hate that we've essentially had Steel Peak AND Howling Fist gutted from us and effectively only gotten one of them back. I'm gonna miss the animation for Greased Lightning being active, especially since I never had any issue keeping it going if I wasn't hit with Down For the Count or forced into a cutscene like SE is so eager to do. I dare say, I found it fun and the punishment for dropping GL was okay because of said fun. I guess people who were good at MNK despite its issues weren't the ones they were listening to this time.

Not to mention the fact that at first glance, Perfect Balance and Form Shift appear to be the "same skill" and we STILL have Anatman and fist stances to worry about. I'm at a point where I don't want to wait on 6.0 hoping MNK will become fun again, just to get my hopes shot down for the 3rd expansion in a row. Might quit lmao.

Well the thing is we desperately need that GL aura because without it, MNK's barren and boring animations are plain to see. Just SE doing their usual thing and continuing to strip the job of anything that might be visually interesting I suppose.

An endless repetitive green swirl around a character doesn't make it more interesting.

knew it was a mistake to get my hopes up. Maybe I should quit before 6.0 happens and we're reduced to one button

If you hate MNK so much, why are you here?

Disliking obnoxious effects around my character doesn't mean I hate monk.
