Monk's masterful blitz fix

Bootshine upgrading to another skill under Leaden Fist would be nice, but I'd settle for any upgrades to the original three combo attack animations. We should really be moving around more like Tifa in FFVII Remake and less like an unarmed NPC in Skyrim.

Jobs don't need to be popular,
as long as they are not excluded by the majority it is fine.

The animations made more sense when we had positionals and you were constantly moving. Now there's little reason to move.

Your "long term" solution would completely gut the job of its core gameplay mechanic, although I guess that's tradition at this point.

I laughed. I cried. Then I sighed in resignation because it's the truth. It was quite a little emotional ride.

Or they should even at least have a different audio queue when they hit. I just realized last week that samurai has a different sound on Kasha and Geko both have different soundbites that play depending on if you hit the proper positional or not. They could add this to Bootshine if you have the leaden fist buff, as well as Snap Punch and Demolish.

Also I 100% agree that I do think the old Greased Lightning part of the UI gauge should be brought back and reworked to show Twin Snakes duration, and the old GL lights could be used to show if you have leaden fist.

Apologies for Necro'ing. But I think the old grease lightning aura would be better suited for the duration of Riddle of Wind because squeenix insists on finding any excuse to keep it around; even as a completely different skill. Auto Attacks are invisible because you're guaranteed to always be hitting buttons so the animation will never occur. So a nice little flair to indicate it's in use would be fine.

I second the idea that leaden fist upgrades bootshine to look different. I don't know why they insist on keeping stiff old animations for skills that should be getting the dragoon treatment.
Hell a lot of the attack animations could use an upgrade to have more movement to it because positionals basically don't exist for monk anymore. The potency gain from hitting them for demolish and snap punch are negligible at this point.

And just...Get rid of anatman. I've tried coming up with so many ideas to make it work with the kit but every possible idea defeats the purpose of another even existing in an unnecessary way. They don't need it anymore.
