I picked up the job back in Heavesnward and it took only maybe a week practicing for it to click and I was able to go about hitting the right position on the boss with the right move. Also remember that unlike it's other melee counterparts, monk has a VERY empty kit outside of its positional requirements. It doesn't have a trick attack window to plan around, multiple jumps to weave into combos, sens and kenki... it just has its chakras that generate randomly. If the job had the positions removed it would immediately become the most boring job in the game to play.
It’s already the most boring job in the game, thanks to the removal of greased lightning stacks.
