Wasn't Paradox a ridiculously high skill, very precise rotation that basically gave BLM 100% free movement/instant casts (or near to it)?

Dragon Kick rotation was funny, though I'm not sure it was good design. And it was almost certainly not intended. That said, I do thin it's kinda neat it worked, though here's a thread of people complaining about it: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...t-s-disgusting

Also, a far as I can tell, using the numbers from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitpostXIV...monk_rotation/
...the DPS difference is 1.3-1.7% (e.g. less than 2%) from the optimal rotation. Though from the comments "Edit2 : TheBalance MNK is salty lol"

If it was designed to intentionally work this way, not just a fluke or something they'd nerf? I honestly think more variation in how people can play Jobs is good. It's an extension of the 4 Healers Model to specific Job design, so yeah, all for it. It's generally hard to INTENTIONALLY do, and so tends to happen (when it happens) by accident more than intent (didn't they nerf Paradox or something? Not sure if they've nerfed Dragon Kick), and apparently the DK rotation wasn't just DK and nothing else, it was DK, True Strike, Demolish, Bootsine, DK until TS refresh?

No idea what Yukikaze spam is, so you'll have to fill me in on that one.
