Thread: Patch 6.0 Notes (Complete)

Of course, this is just me griping about the one job I adore being mangled from my perspective.

Well, I like the changes. Won't main Monk, but I think I will play it more often without worrying about hurting my hands.

It was never going to be in 6.0 as far as I'm aware. It was always slated for 6.1

Positionals are why I will literally do everything this game has to offer before ever leveling a melee DPS job. Sorry to those that enjoy them.

I agree I was never a fan of all the moving around but I did my best to follow. I did level my melee though and just did it on the night lol

Positionals aren't really critical for most jobs except on the hardest content. They mostly give players a way of pushing themselves to excel for harder content while others can ignore them, or choose to practice them for their own self edification. Having jobs that have differing mechanics is how to appeal to a wider audience.

They are not even critical on the hardest content. The number of clears I see in Savage content and Ultimates with mdps not caring about positionals makes such obviously clear.

As far as I'm concerned, WHM is dead in EW for me. If healers are getting scraps, then WHM is getting the crumbs and I'm just done with it.

I thought I could deal with MNK but it looks like they're removing even more positionals from them as well so I'm just sad overall with these notes.
