Monk Identity and Blitz ?

and give Dragon Kick a maintained buff/debuff.

Funny you mention that, it's exactly what Dragon Kick did prior to ShB. It applied a "Blunt Resistance Down" debuff to the target which basically just meant you did more damage to it since Monk was the only job that benefitted from it. (iirc technically also WHM & BLM since the staff dealt blunt damage but you're not really sitting in melee and whacking things with your staff on those jobs)


Unfortunately it got pruned together with all the other "resistance down" debuffs, which made sense for all the other jobs since you essentially needed a Dragoon for the piercing resistance debuff if you had a Brd or Mch in your party.

It wasn't entirely necessary on Monk since you pretty much just buffed your own damage.
