For me, the bottom line is this: I don't enjoy current buff/DOT-tracking MNK, but I'm really looking forward to leveling DT MNK.

There's a lot that I like about the MNK, from the aesthetics to the abilities, but I really don't enjoy the short-DOT/short buff track at all. With the DT changes, I plan to level MNK (I stopped at 50 because of the DOT/buff tracking) as soon as I finish the MSQ.
