The Worst Iteration of Monk. What could be different?

[VentVanitas]

I haven't visited the forum in a while, took a break from it because I actually was enjoying myself going through Dawntrail. as a Viper, though, as I've dropped Monk for it after maining it since 2018.

to no one's surprise, making an even more unnecessarily designed system just to mimic old Monk had only introduced even more problems than solved them. who would've seen that coming? definitely not me. I can't even be angry or sad anymore. it's just funny now, I can't help but pity how pathetic the job is. even 5.4 MNK had more going on with it than this iteration does.

great job, SE! looking forward to seeing what they'll do to try and desperately salvage this dead job.

And what system would that be? No part of Fury gauge, the removal of Disciplined Fist and Demolish (as a mechanic, not merely a name), Wind's Reply, or Earth's Reply mimic old Monk.

I mean, Endwalker Monk was far from dead. To "salvage" it they needed only to not randomly wreck it.
