IDK, I don't main monk at all and really just leveling it for mount achievement. Having said that I do wish they would have kept Grease Lightning and Positional themes alive in the "redesign". I personally think it feels like a knockoff Ninja than a brand-new Monk.

-Grease Lightning should have just been a trait that gets you to 1.5 GCD which would give people a job that plays faster than other melee.
-They should have redesigned hit box for this expansion to combine Front & Rear due to battle designs (Zodiark, Anima, Endsinger, etc...) along with a player left and player right hit box.
-After that they could have better copied FFVI Blitz where the input would be based on position rather than WS (L, F/R, R) (L, L, F/R) (F/R, L, R).
