MNK Anatman suggestion.

[Xeahanort]

Hello all. First time posting on these forums (Maybe? XD I dunno I been playing this game for 10 years now I may have posted something ages ago lol). I'm posting this now however cause I think I may have had an idea that could potentially make Anatman an exceptionally useful skill for Endwalker and thought I may as well just post it here in case the Devs or community may appreciate and potentially used this idea.

I was thinking right now one of our biggest issues going into Endwalker is that our opener is potentially a little scuffed without us being able to use our hardest hitting skill right in the opening to a fight and everyone honestly doesn't really care for Anatman (I personally think it has it's uses but it's kinda niche and meh XD ). So~ I thought why not add an additional effect to Anatman maybe through a trait or just a rework of the skill itself that adds stacks of Formless fist. Maybe up to 3 over 9-10 seconds. This idea occured to me when I was thinking of how they changed Meditate on Samurai. Would be pretty badass especially when you have to disengage in the middle of a fight.

Could be it's a terrible idea or something in which case just ignore me. But I kinda think it would be a cool thing to add and make one of the most meme'd abilities in the entire history of the game somewhat useful. Anyways. Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope you are all having a wonderful adventure in Eorzea. ^ . ^

Edit : Just reallized my profile is showing a character I don't even play anymore lol. My true main is Seraphina Spears @Hyperion ^ ^; haha (I can't figure out how to change it v . v )

I don't like Anatman, either, but I also don't hate it. Twin Snakes buff IS 10%, and Anatman also refreshes your current form so if done right you can use Anatman while in your final form and hit the returning boss with a fully buffed Demolish as opposed to DK+TS+DEMO opener (assuming your PB is on CD).

I have been very salty with Monk for years, but Anatman and RoE aren't completely useless which is more than we could say about One-Ilm Punch.

Same feelings here. Anatman is useful just it's uses are so narrow people just wave it off as inconsequential. XD I was just playing Samurai and realized Sam Meditate skill and how it works could potentially be used for Mnk as well in the form of a makeshift Perfect Balance when you have to disengage in a fight which could work wonderfully with the new mnk blitz skills.

Anat is too situational skill that need to replace or remove, not rework.

[Xeahanort]

Making the game sterile and removing all situational abilities from the game isn't going to make the game more fun to play. Having skills that aren't just used mindlessly in a rigid rotation is not a bad thing. There's no reason for Anatman to be removed as it exist now. But it can be made better. That is what my suggestion is all about.
