Giving it a niche support feature is also an option a la DNC's new Improvisation. Gain stacks for a powered up Mantra, or something along those lines. It wouldn't save the skill of course, but it would give it a more distinct purpose at least. As much as I dislike Anatman as a whole, I am the one freak that wants to see MNK play a bit more into the, well, monk side of Monk.

There are still quite a few useless additions and issues on MNK that I hope get addressed at some point in the future, preferably before 7.0.
