Indeed simian trash is very weak. Often i see it dealing even less damage than jarring strike because of partial misses. It does should have its effect enhanced or, at least, having the TP cost lowered.

But seens several of the class exclusive WS are pretty weak...Iron Tempest is just beautiful..but its useless unless you want to hit monsters passing by without damaging the one that is beating you down (!!!).

I do agree exclusive WS should be the trumph card of each class, not a joke like some are.
