MONK is to confusing / annoying of a class now

[Shurrikhan]

I'm fine with keeping Blitz at 40s, the fact that Phantom Rush doesn't line up with Brotherhood doesn't bother me like it does for some. If they were to bring back positionals (which I don't think they'll do) I'd prefer it if PB nullified them, and either they should leave the positional requirement off Bootshine or change the bonus to something besides a guaranteed crit. Positionals were necessary complexity when they were the only thing Monk had, but now I feel like there are better ways to make the job more interesting. I'd say that the job is already pretty complex though compared to most DPS, so anything they add would have to be pretty mild.

I don't mind Phantom Rush not aligning; I just want a 30s PB so I can see more PB.

I'm also tired of having to spend oGCDs just to nullify a mechanic, though. I'd rather just have a passively built margin of leniency such that we always feel rewarded for getting our positionals correctly, but we're not screwed over by missing a few per fight, especially to random boss spins (e.g., by successful positionals charge stacks of a 'missed positional forgiven' mechanic). Keep any positional nullification simple, intuitive, and unintrusive.

(Heck, I'd be all for removing True North in favor of that across most melee jobs. Granted, if DRG just had control over which between Wheeling Thrust and Fang & Claw to use first per 5-step combo and had an infrequent non-combo-breaking GCD skill by which to delay Chaos Thrust, it wouldn't even really need that. Note also that NIN can always choose to just delay Armor Crush a bit further unless it's pushing effectively 4 globals to depletion, and Reaper can bank its positionals for later spending.)
