What makes a good Job mechanically?

[Shurrikhan]

...

You know, as per my norms, I am 100% glad a Job like that is in this game for people that just that sort of thing.

...but holy hell am I glad that not every Job is anything like that. XD If you'll excuse me, I need to go re-iron my smooth monkey brain after reading that...

It's seriously not hard. It largely boils down to "use Lunar (first) when able; else Solar", and just doing whatever makes sense during Solar GCDs.

Which becomes clear after just trying out Monk on a testing dummy a few times.

The same things that let/make it "drift" (at BiS GCD speeds) are also what leave it intuitive: you can swap out what you will, so long as your PBs have AllSamex3 (ideally, AllOpo, as anything else is a huge waste) or AllDifferentx3.

The moves I pointed out before aren't something that needs to be memorized; they're just what happens to occur at high GCD speeds, again allowing for a consistent per 2min loop.
