MONK is to confusing / annoying of a class now

Eh, I don't think PB is exclusively the problem outside of its janky timing, the freedom you have with the inputs is one of the very few joys I've been having with 6.0 MNK. Limiting Blitz purely to PB however, is what I have issue with.

As for the oGCD drought, I don't see what's stopping SE from making Phoenix Rising available from the get-go and just make Flint Strike an oGCD attack. (Or Steel Peak/Howling Fist for that matter)

What freedom are you referring to? That freedom is an illusion because PB just locks you into doing certain skills. Currently, only the solar Nadi allows you to move through all three forms, which is what you're always doing anyway; and the lunar restricts you to just one form, which will always be your Opo-Opo skills. There is nothing liberating about PB. It's only use currently is to gain beast chakra, which can be gained simply by executing a skill from the form you are currently in, and this skill is dictated by your current situation (need to refresh Demolish/Discipline Fist, leaden fist is active, etc.)

I just don't see a need for it at all. Seems like a bag of bricks to me.
