How Are The Changes To Monk?

[DaGOAT86]

I am looking to start playing the job now after it's gone through its renovations. I was hesitant before given the issues it faced prior to this patch. Now that it has, how does it play? Is it better? Worse? In between?

For me, I may go back to it but it was such a massive buzz kill to make the most damn effort to maintain true punch, dragon kick int down, dots and manage my form and positions to be 2nd on the aggro list while a SAM sat comfortably behind the boss slashing away, the margin for error was massive and it caused more than a few face tanking moments.

You'll definitely be 1st on the aggro list on longer fights but it's such a slap to the face for the effort you put into this class, this is definitely a much needed change.

Honestly, not a fan of the new monk, maintaining GL wasn't THAT difficult since form shift can refresh it, I hate the new ripple of the earth, it has less duration time than true north.

Honestly, I think the GL change was needed simply because of all the "Down for the count" parts in fights they keep adding, and no amount of form shifts will save that.

And yes, new riddle is ass. Needs reverted ASAP or at least given a 10sec duration, like True North.

Monk design was a leftover remnant of ARR when raids didn't have 60 second cutscenes and transitions stunning you for 10 seconds.

Once they've started going cinematic Monk has suffered for it.

You should never go by hearsay and come up with your own conclusions but you can't do that now that Monk has been changed and you can only go by what random strangers say on the internet. Think for yourself next time.

By that logic, I shouldn't listen to what you have to say either.

pretty much, form your own opinions

though you asked about monk before...I expected you to at least tried out the class by now
