    A way to reset Monk's Nadi would be nice to have

    I love the current iteration of Monk, it's my most played job by far and a big part of what's kept me playing the game as much as I have, but managing Beast Chakra and Nadi between combat encounters can often feel clunky and unrewarding. Once a Nadi is open, there is no way to close it without opening the other Nadi and then using Phantom Rush. Monk's most common optimal openers assume that you will start with no Nadi and end your opener having used both charges of Perfect Balance to open both Nadi, setting up for a buffed Phantom Rush during your odd minute burst window. Having only one Nadi before an opener will require you to either only use one Perfect Balance and lose a potential use of Masterful Blitz, use both charges of Perfect Balance and use Phantom Rush during your opener, or change the order of lunar and solar blitzes during your opener so the first blitz will give you a Nadi of the same type you already have. I don't like the inconsistency this adds to Monk's openers, especially in dungeons where only using one type of blitz and missing out on Phantom Rush during mob pulls to avoid potentially messing up your opener for the next boss so heavily limits how you can optimize your damage output.

    I think Monk could benefit from a skill like Samurai's Hagakure, which converts their Sen into Kenki gauge. This skill could simply close both Nadi, allowing for more freedom in how you use your next Perfect Balance charges, or maybe give you one charge of Perfect Balance for each Nadi closed, which could enable some really interesting optimization if you were able to use it during combat. This could even be a potential use for Anatman, which I really want to be more useful because I like the animation a lot :)

    Is using Phantom Rush during a 2min burst opener that bad of a deal?
