MONK is to confusing / annoying of a class now

[Sal8050]

Before i used to know the rotation like the back of my hand without even having to look which form I've opened up.

Now....its waaaaaaaaaaaaay more confusing with the new system.

All of the people complaining about positionals will find this class even more painful now. Also i bet they arent even trying MONK. They are staying with their ranged characters.

Monk is so bad now.

What do you guys / gals think?

I'm new to Monk. Was tentatively planning before EW but went to 100% planning with reduction in positionals.

I find it pretty overwhelming to learn coming form physical ranged DPS, but with practice on the new concerns (AOE, uptime) it should be fine. The beast chakra system feels sort of tacked on.

Im still struggling with this new stupidity. When I activate Perfect Balance, and I use Snap Punch, it doesnt even put me in opo-opo form.

Also perfect balance cant even be used before we attack / hit the boss. ... dumb.

Theres a reason you have Form Shift

I question your past with the class considering we never used PB pre-pull and PB never put you in the new form even as far back as Stormblood.

I wish there was like a '' Monk certificate '' you needed to be able to post about MNK on the forums.

Did you boost?
Maybe that's why you were overwhelmed.

MNK is probably the easiest melee currently imo.

This is how I feel about smn right now. Like you need to put so many hours into a class before you start complaining

Yep boosted. Hence "coming from ranged DPS."

The easiest melee is reaper and it's not even remotely close.

I enjoy new monk so far (level 87 but it's not like they get anything actually new to integrate after that), but not enough to get me to main it. I hated the job prior to this, but the loss of positionals has helped me out quite a bit in actually enjoying the job. Blitz is a half-baked mechanic but the payoff skills are really cool and satisfying so it's good in my book. Cooldown alignment is weird though, and I really have to fight the urge to double-weave. Also have no idea why they kept 6-sided star around.

I dunno about that, RPR feels like it's got a lot more to keep track of than MNK, once you hit 90 at least. I've got 3 melees at 90 so far and in terms of depth I'd rate them something like NIN > RPR >>> MNK. Haven't leveled SAM or DRG yet.
