You do not need to get every huge skill into the opener. You can already get PR right into RoF2 two of three RoFs thereafter with the double-Solar opener or into RoF3 and two of three RoFs thereafter with a Solar/Lunar.

PR does not have to be in the opener any more than, say, Ifrit would need to fall within the opening flurry of raid (de)buffs. Don't needlessly muddy a mechanic (Blitz) that has no issue outside of sheer slightly too little frequency (where that infrequency is an issue more for gameplay and the sense of having an integral class mechanic more so than RoF-sync).

Do not add a 3rd charge to Blitz. Do not add a "grants a free, extra Blitz" skill. Just reduce PB's cooldown to 30s. That is it.

There's clunk elsewhere and we need our positionals back, but do not gut or muddy Blitz.
I definitely think that there is an issue that we can't fit our big hitter into the opening.
I am aware that Yoshida said that MNK isn't designed to frontload its damage like that but I disagree and that's how most work all that's really happening is that MNK is being gimped while others aren't.

How is it gutting or muddying anything with Anatman giving a free Phantom Rush?
I think you're overreacting a lot.
