MONK is to confusing / annoying of a class now

[ssunny2008]

If I give you a new tool by which to more precisely and/or frequently mitigate an old problem, you've got new gameplay.

It does grow stale, but so does any other mechanic, no matter how complex. Blitz is at least a very good, very solid addition, in its basic concept.

I´m not saying Blitz is bad at its core, but it´s overall a bad addition IMO. It would´ve been something different with HW, but not yet, not at this point.
We lost GL and all we had left have been positionals with GCD´s. Instead of just adding a new mechanic, we lost everything with Blitz. So far we lost more than we got and Blitz itself just add 3 Burstskills to MNKs kit. PB is splitted in 2 3-key charges instead of 1 6-key charge. The rest is the same.
On top Blitz is nothing but a Meikyo-Mudra-Mix somehow put into a rotation you´ve played for ages, but you can only use it half the times you can use Mudra with 1/3 of its skills meanwhile 1 is useless anyway.

- It´s nothing real new which add to the the gameplay, just 1 burstskill every 40s.
- It´s something we already have on other classes. (Homogenization at its best)
- We lost more than we got back.

I´ts solid yes and i woulnd´t be mad about it as addition to ALL 6 positionals. But given as it is, it isn´t spectacular or something i can see a bright future with. And i don´t even want to get more stuff added to Blitz, otherwise i would play NIN you know?! MNK´s niche concept has always been "the fast positional heavy class" and it should return like this.

Neither the current PB nor Blitz (which is not per 40s, nor all-but 40s per minute, nor 123 in between, unlike most melee and blue-dps) is preventing Monk's toolkit from growing, either. GL wouldn't have stopped Monk from having more mechanics before and Blitz isn't going to preclude such now.

I´m not talking about MNK´s toolkit, i´m talking about the skillfloor and skill-ceiling. Positionals always gave you the advantage to grow, to get a better DPS, to switch up your gameplay a little bit based on the given content. Blitz is blitz and without positionals, the only gain relies on the Demolish timer and how to play around it in Solarnadi-phases.
