Monk - Quality of Life Change

[IruruCece]

I disagree strongly with removing positionals, on monk and on any melee DPS. They aren't what keeps players away from any job, and monk was underplayed next to other DPS even when positionals were more of a thing across multiple melee jobs (and had other problems next to other DPS at the time). I recognize, however, that I appear to be in the minority on this.

I suggest getting rid of all the methods Monk (and melee in general) has to ignore positionals instead. It strikes me as incredibly odd that SE left Monk in a state where it MUST engage with the bosses beyond just sitting still and hammering globals, but then gave us MULTIPLE skills that let us ignore than particular mechanic for an extended period of time. It really is an either or at this point, SE should either kill off positionals as a concept (and make the game less interesting IMO), or provide better feedback to players so they know they've landed a proper positional, up to increasing the "reward" for doing so.

KILL. ELEMENTAL. FISTS. These buttons are little more than rotting wisdom teeth on the kit of the job, and have been so since Heavensward. SE has constantly used the excuse of button bloat for nixing off multiple skills that players have actually used in their rotations on the regular, but has somehow managed to leave elemental fists more or less as is: buttons that we hit before a fight, that we switch once we get to a certain part of our opener, and then sit on for its particular buff for the duration. In HW and SB, it was Fire. In ShB, it's Wind. Functionally, SE has tweaked these fists, particularly in regards to our GL4, but practically, players just sit in the same damned fist for 10 minutes until the boss dies. You want button bloat gone? There's three right there. Maybe give us ONE of the actually useful OGCDs we lost between SB and ShB.
