Monk Rant

[Shurrikhan]

Small tangent, but it always feels funny to me that there's general notice that small twists from intended play always get pruned yet no one seemingly remembers that until Stormblood we could run double-Bootshine, double-TrueStrike rotations (staggered away from ToD/Frac strings), and even in Shadowbringers we could run double-True. (There just wasn't enough reward for it to be nearly worth the stat inefficiencies in Endwalker, sadly, at only 20 potency over Twin Snakes at the time.)

(Yes, those rotations meant dropping DK before DK and Twin before reapplying Twin, but it would take an AA and multiple oGCDs to miss those buffs for that to be a net loss.)

RIP meaningful SkS tier choice (even if, yes, it was generally slightly suboptimal despite the net gain in potency per GCD rotationally). The Fury system and double-Reply per 3 minutes, especially, makes getting an extra 2 GCDs per minute less attractive even where total accessible SkS would otherwise allow it if only because it's then so excessive for anything else now that we can't fit in a better buffed to buffer ratio from said SkS.

as someone who is lvling MNK currently, I like the new beast chakra balls.. but! Blitz Arts still feel disconnected! since there is nothing outside Perfect Balance to initiate Blitz Arts ._. imo Perfect Balance could be reworked to act more like SAM's Meikyo Shisui, as a Shortcut for the next Phantom Rush (or how it is called) or they should liberate Blitz Arts from Perfect Balance (not unlike they liberated Tsubamegaeshi off Meikyo).. Sorry for the Samurai Comparisons but we share the Gearsets afterall^^;

Also.. we got to lvl100.. and they added Mad Max Gear to the Game..
AND MONK DOESN'T LEARN 100 FISTS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't get the obsession over this. I don't particularly want to have to find room for an awkward overlong channel just for the Jojo memes, and if you're referring to the XI version, we already have that inside of RoW (albeit at 50% attack speed increase instead of 80%, as not to clip the AA animation).

Blitz Arts still feel disconnected!

"Still"? Disciplined Fist and Demolish kept it pretty well integrated before...

Granted, when Endwalker Monk launched, I did likewise suggest somewhat similar (or, even larger) changes to Blitz, so it's not that I wholly fail to understand the dissatisfaction.
