Thread: Monk Positionals 6.0

not sure why everything thinks this new blitz system is so great. you're still hitting perfect balance like before, you're still doing gcd's to get beast chakra which you would already be doing during your regular combo, plus the ogcd at the end comes at the cost of them removing elixir field and tornado kick. they could've just kept those 2 ogcd's and increased the potency since you're actually doing less work now

The blitzes are weapon skills, not oGCDs.

The people that pay the bills want a VN and fashion show. The braindead 40 second windows are likely deliberate and viewed as an improvement.

There is a running theme of the pro=positional side name calling and attacking everyone else, maybe grow up Im sorry this hasn't turned out the way you wanted. in truth im a little disappointed myself but there is no need to be attacking people.

What Daralii said wasn't directed at you, Daralii was calling the Perfect Balance window gameplay braindead.

I can agree here. If we had kept skills to weave between attacks that would have made the blow of removing 67% of our positional requirements sting a bit less. But as for now, monk at level 90 will basically be the same as other jobs at level 30.

With these stupid changes and the horrid changes to BRD I’m literally running out of mains to play.

I'm going from BRD to MNK, as the latter will let me try melee without button bloat. I only took monk to 35 with solo content, so I don't really know what's missing.

Anything at all to please the DNC mains, make all jobs afk and require nothing from the player
