MNK Rework is a great start

[Raikai]

Finally Monk is enjoyable for me, given the riddance of Greased Lightning stacking. I think that was way too punishing because of the positional aspect of the job... Said that, Monk feels pretty raw right now, but that was to be expected to be honest. They are just probably setting the groundwork for an actual revamp in 6.0, because I'd think it would be too unrealistic to expect such a thing when ShB is going to its end.

My hopes and personal wishes for further improvement to the current kit in 6.0 are:
- A tracker for Twin Snakes and Demolish built in the job gauge.
- The job gauge itself features a tiger... Why not a different frame to signal the form you're currently in? If by some reason you have to interrupt your rotation, it's a good way to glance and see what stage you're at.
- Shoulder Tackle damage componenet replaced with a stun or a slow. It might be just me, but I hate when OGCDs movement utility abilities are tied to damage, because it's never up when you actually need to move, as you have to weave them in for the dmg.
- I think Fists of Earth and Wind really need a buff on what they do, because it's almost worthless to swap Fists for their utility. SSS gives a movement buff... Why not let that buff change according to the Fist you're at?
- The Forbidden Chakra, it would be great if it had the same range of Enlightment or even a 15yr range. This would be amazing to have some damage to do while out of range running from stuff.
- Arm of the Destroyer moved to below level 20. It's a major pain to partake in Roulettes that take you to a low level dungeon and you simply don't even have an AoE.

Of course, I'm also expecting some new mechanic to replace the complexity lost with GL stacks. I wonder what they have in mind, since it's basically a new thing. Maybe they can expand Fists functionality and interactivity, or maybe a new fourth animal form?
