I wouldn't eliminate positionals, they're one of the three core pillars of the job as it's designed and there really isn't anything wrong with them. However I wouldn't mind a revamp of how positionals on Monk work in the vein of certain positionals being tied to chakra and others being tied to potency. Bootshine sort of has this on a technicality since the auto-crit also proccing a chakra every time, however that's actually an issue at the moment. There's so much potency on it that it actually needs to be toned down some since missing it causes you to lose ~260 potency which is like missing every single positional a Dragoon has going through both of it's combos.

However other than that, Monk is fine with positionals. If you want less positionals, play Ninja.
