How is monk after the rework?

We are getting farther and farther away from my original point.

I mean your original suggestion was fine on paper and pretty in line with how the devs develop skills now, but I think we can infer from the tenor of the discussion that followed that people don't really care for Perfect Balance and Leaden Bootshine as they're currently implemented. By extension there isn't a ton of interest in making the Perfect Balance phase cap off with a new skill that is functionally Leaden Bootshine Plus, and we'd rather see something else instead of building on it in the future.

There isn't a need to try and salvage something that people don't like about Monk. On some level the many half-assed attempts at doing that is what lead to Greased Lightning ultimately being removed when there were clear ways to make it work in content, and more often than not it's what has caused Monk to be a graveyard of pointless traits and skills.
