I spent a lot of time trying to like monk and have finally found a solution.

Many monk mains ( I mean mains not ''I run a roulette every other week'' ) are probably wondering.... I haven't made a single mistake on rotation in like 4 or 5 trials / dungeons. I'm... bored. Why?

New beast gauge is a static rotation recorder.

Monk prior to this ran a static rotation with fast speed, off the gcds AND positional.

Monk now runs a static rotation with fast speed and off the gcds. People who don't believe me try putting your beast gauge off in the corner using hud layout. Now run your STATIC rotation double phoenix opener. Yep, class is identical to pre endwalker except no positional.

The people on the forums acting like all these classes getting easier and easier to play and even more importantly becoming more and more like each other with less identity really need to think about the next expansion. There is a point where even you will become bored with your favorite class and you're next.

The summoner is particularly unfortunate. Maybe the bard is worse.

I found enjoyment playing on controller to make things a bit more busy and trying other classes like red mage and dragoon.

Class design is like the only point of contention for most on this expansion so maybe we could just enjoy the great music and story for a while longer but hey... express yourself. Cheers.
