    I like having a buff that I get to upkeep because it encourages active aggressive play. I also like having a single button that just works as a means of upkeeping that buff during downtime after playing Monk for two expansions and experiencing the joys of Riddle of Earth getting blocked by a strong enough Adloquium because it crit. If I have to choose between Form Shift being one button that works in every situation except for long cutscenes where only Ninja is going to get to keep its buff, or 5.0 Monk where there's 6 buttons competing for "What do I hit in Downtime" I think I'll take there being one useful button. Formshift could certainly be improved by only making it require one button press like Umbral Soul instead of needing to cycle through every form though. The devs still need to fix the half dozen downtime mitigation skills among many other problems with Monk's kit, but at least the job doesn't get arbitrarily screwed when no other job does because the buff upkeep skills it had pre 5.05 Formshift were terrible.
