Bring Back Greased Lightning Aura for Monk Please

[Kehda_Mercer]

I've been a Monk main since the launch of 2.0. I will forever love the Job through all its hardships. I'm not asking for the Job be changed back to what it was before the rework. Just for our Aura that was obtained through GL (Greased Lightning) to be restored. It's a harmless effect that didn't need to be removed. Especially since GL is still a trait in Monk's toolkit.

The aura was a big part of Monk's Job identity. This would be like removing Dragoon's aura from "Blood of the Dragon" or Black Mage's "Umbral Fire and Ice" effects. The removal of them would damage the identity of those Jobs at their core. It's bad enough that Monk never got a Chakra Aura that was shown from the lv 70 Job Questline. At least let us keep one of the cool things about the Job, that makes it unique.

Its pretty ironic that they keep obnoxious WAR aura, but remove MNK aura which is not intrusive at all. But thats how XIV devs work. They always screw up something. Just pray its not your main this time.

I 100% agree it needs to come back as a visual pleaseee monk just isn't the same without it.

[Ariel_Valmont]

Agreed! Wholeheartedly

I'm sorry, but I won't miss it. I've loved Monk, even when it was "bad"...but the constant green swirlies have always annoyed me. How would they even bring it back? With GL being a trait now it would show 24/7, all the time...no...fricken...thanks. I'm not opposed to them bringing back the visual for say a short duration offensive cooldown/buff ability or something, but I definitely don't want to see it constantly anymore.

If not that they could substitute it with something. Maybe an aura or lightning bolts they get stronger as your Chakra fills.

i honestly feel like the fists stances should get their colored version of the old GL aura, its the only thing that makes sense

[silverdragontyr]

Eh why waste time on an effect for something that will likely be removed in 6.0

[GrumbleBeard]

I've always hated it to be honest.

It can be tied to the stances instead. It would only be on as long as you have one of the stance buffs up. A stance buff lasts for 16 secs. So after it falls off, so does the aura.
