[MONK] My issues with the MONK, especially compared to other jobs.

[Shurrikhan]

I don't agree. Figuring out how to do steady damage by using PBs to farm crit Bootshines as much as possible without dropping Twin Snakes or overwriting Demolish when you must restart with DK afterward is one of the charms of low-level monk and is, frankly, way more interesting to me than the post-59 'you're a burst job like everyone else now, press PB to prep for the stupid burst window'.

...That has nothing to do with what I wrote.

The problem with early PB is it literally costs you a form every time you use it because it removes what forms you had going in and doesn't grant Formless at its end, meaning that your only useful options after each PB are... Dragon Kick or Arm of the Destroyer.

This problem happens because they tied that Formless buff to Blitz instead of to having consumed all your stacks of Perfect Balance. I.e., you need Blitz for Perfect Balance to even function fully/correctly.
