I'd like something extra during downtime outside of burst phases but Optimal Drift and the way it interacts with the Beast Chakra is really well-designed and MNK is incredibly flexible.
Probably my biggest issue with MNK outside of the obvious like Anatman is that I rly don't like Chakras being tied to RNG.

How would you know this when you don't play MNK ( you haven't even started Pugilist )?
On that note, I can say I tried monk recently. It's only at 80, but I don't really understand what I'm supposed to be doing now with the changes made. I like the idea of blitz because final fantasy 6 reference, but I had no problem with the job prior to ew, so it's just a hit jarring and I'm hesitant to level it despite already using SAM, so the gear is all present.

A lot of that confusion on my part probably boils down to unfamiliarity, but even taking that out of the equation, it feels rather dull just repeating the normal combo for everything.

Not sure if that really counts 'good' gameplay, imo
