The problem with Monk isn't positionals (opinion piece)

[jerome15]

And no I don't want positionals back because I don't consider them something to do, I wan't some OGCD's back

why not just have both?

shb monk was gutted from sb monk, but after seeing the EW changes, shb monk actually didn't seem so bad even though it was mostly just gcd's which included all positionals. i think all positionals plus more ogcd's would be even better to speed up the class.

Agree, job is a clunky mess right now.

They often launch monk in a state that's bad, and at this point I've come to expect that they job just doesn't get better till the x.1 or x.2 job adjustment patch. They're really close to getting monk to a decent spot to play this time around, there's just a little missing, and there have been myriad solutions from monk mains proposed to make it better, and frankly I can see many of them solving the problem.
