It's not that it bad, it's that they tried to give it a new identity, which they have every expansion. Heavenward, in my opinion, was its peak. All they could of done was add new cool ogcds and monk would be fine.

I think permanently unlocking forms is what really kills it. Under perfect balance sure, but the ability to do it all the time makes it too unstructured.

As for blitz, there is way too much groundwork to do to make it work. It's easy enough to use, I just find that I have to go out of my way to properly use it. If perfect balance had a 3rd stack or blitz didn't require perfect balance to even set up blitz would be just fine.

Positionals I loved, it what really defined the class. Sad to see it gone. May change since community is not the happiest with it.

Job has some good ideas just poorly executed. It will need fine tuning with current system or its gonna get yet another mid expansion rework. Most monks miss the pre-stormblood kit of rotation with tons of ogcds. It's been asked but it's been ignored. So anyone's guess what they want Monk to ultimately be. I wouldn't be surprised if by 7.0 blitz being changed to some action button and some new system taking its place.
