Monks need a projectile!

[Morzy]

Hi,

Let's get one thing out of the way: Monk is a mess.
I understand your frustration. I have seen Monk change through expansions since
2.3. In my humble opinion, though, I don't think a ranged attack really makes sense for the job.

Dragoon: It's a dragon. It has a spear. Spears are sometimes thrown
Ninja: This class has knives. Nuff said.
Samurai: Ranged Samurai attacks are common.. You see it all the time in Japanese anime.
... But Monk? I suppose 'Chi Blast' makes sense, but we kind of got something like that with the
Chakra AOE attack, and I'm REALLY glad that we got another AOE ability to begin with.

But even if we had a 'spammable' 'Chi Blast'.. I think it would feel wrong lol
because most of our attacks would be hard hitting and something we could
spam would feel like it's simply a filler for the sake of a filler which I can't get behind.
I mean our weakest standalone attack must be Shoulder Tackle which isn't
weak at all because it aims to get us within reach of things to punch. The entire job
makes you feel like you're a deadly weapon when you get within reach of things.

Even though we lack a ranged attack.. I don't have an issue keeping up with DPS. If
you really feel like the job is incomplete, then... Maybe you'd be better suited for DRG or SAM.
