Monk Rant

[BabyYoda]

Why should all Strikers have to have the same gameplay any more than all Tanks or Healers should have to?

If anything, the tanks and healers should each be as distinct from each other as Monk and Samurai, Black Mage and Red Mage, etc. are from each other.

I see no issue with one Striker having a 87% GCD length, the other 80%, one having bankable oGCDs and the other oGCDs that need to be rushed out the very GCD they're generated, one having an extra GCD attached only to their freeform-weaponskills-CD and the other getting that value only indirectly, and so forth.

Sharing specific mechanics doesn't mean that the job is homogenized..
If you believe that you could say that Ninja is range job because it has range skills

Or calling samurai as a caster because it has casting.

It is not like that my friend.. the fact that monk and Samurai both has casting on their main dps skills doesn't mean that they are homogenized.

Tanks and healers share 75% to 90% of the kit this is homogenized but sharing 20% of kit for specific role isn't
