I'd be down for them to get a new "Fist of" attack that's dedicated to making all your attacks ranged for a time. Not only would that fix the "no range" issue, but it would do it in a fun unique way.

I literally didn’t find out about the rear gap in the target circle until I watched this video oh JoCat’s channel. I’ve been playing this game for two years and I never knew, I always just went with my gut on exactly where the “rear” and “flank” were.
"Ninja is for those who enjoy American Football: for every ten seconds of excitement you a minute of fuck-all." Has JoCat ever actually WATCHED American Football? 10 seconds of excitement to 1 minute of boredom is baseball. FOOTBALL is 10 seconds of excitement every three or four plays when the referees don't call a penalty before the play starts, and there's 5 minutes between all plays unless the clock's still counting down.
I've played FFXIV almost since ARR's release and I only learned about a year ago that the circle under the enemies isn't actually cut off in the back because the ground is uneven but because it indicates where the rear end starts and ends xD
I had to google positionals when I started leveling melee jobs. I felt like an idiot thinking that the flank was the rear. The definition of flank is literally the sides of an animal or human. At least I learned something! XD
It took me about 5 years of playing to figure that out I just went by model visuals. Which meant I was stupidly running around trash mobs in the overworld for quests trying to get my positionals out.
3:20 - Monk. Hands down. If you play on controller, you are down to 2 full bars in Endwalker, this is after they merged 5 skills into 2 buttons! All the other melee don't overflow 2 bars like this.
Monks work different than most melees regarding "ranged skills", they have the skill "Six-sided Star" which is 2 in 1 GCD that have 4-5 secs cooldown after use, while not strong as 2 regular gcds it does about the same damage as if you hit a regular GCD and then a ranged attack from other melees, just need to remember to use it as last skill before going away from boss then dash back into the boss after the aoe is gone and you are good to go. Also if you got a lot of downtime you can spam "meditate" to being able to use "forbidden chakra" when you go back which is strong and compensate for your lack of ranged attacks.
I kinda wonder if the “extensive adjustments” to DRG they mentioned was just simplifying the rotation to reduce button bloat. Maybe it’ll be like reaper and just have no positionals for 1-2-3 but the 4th will still have them
The readjustment seems to be related to the core changes they're making to how crit, etc work. Also the PVP DRG LB is interesting mechanically in that maybe we wont be positionally locked into animation when we jump?
Im hoping they remove wheeling thrust and fang over claw from the hotbar and have them replace the 3rd hit theyre tied to respectively like how the continuation combo works for gunbreakers.
i found out about the rear gap at when i started the game B) im so cool just kidding, i started as monk who just sees positionals and says *ill take your entire stock* i would move like a monkey doing breakdance. even with the recent rework i still do the positional bcuz pure muscle memory/trauma lol
Technically, Enlightenment can be used as a Hadouken. But I can't recall the exact range this early in the day. (At least, I'm thinking it can. It's what I usually do.)
@@larsbohmer6319 it's not easiness. It's bloat. And DRG also very bloaty. Which is why I guess they're getting adjusted in consideration of future patches.

Before I made my actual character I made others in the character creator to mess around and the 1st happened to be a Pugilist, while annoying to learn without a tank, I did learn my positionals very quickly
Devil's advocate for the Monk, they do have something to do while out of range: MEDITATE TO OPEN YOUR CHAKRAS SO YOU CAN HIT THE FORBIDDEN CHAKRA WHEN YOU GET BACK IN RANGE. I play Monk a lot, and I still forget to do that sometimes.
mnk's enlightenment has some range on it though its not that far and you have to charge up your chakras to use it and you'll just save it for the forbidden chakra since by the time you get all the stacks you need, you'll be back in melee range
I play Dragoon, Reaper, and Bard mostly, but I actually watched Jocat before playing Dragoon, so I have been really careful about when I do my evasives. However I still die because I end up just barely clipping the AoE areas, so I still feel bad afterward lol.

And I have A LOT OF OGCD WITH DRG.
@@sennaka my main problem is the ogcd line up. I use geirskogul with high jump in the opener and I press everything on cd between the 5 button combo... it's fine. But as the fight goes on I feel like I'm just freestyling my rotation. I can keep up the geirskogul + high jump combo but every other ogcd is totally random and I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong

As a monk player: Please just let me throw a rock at them! It doesn't even have to do that much damage, just something!
I've been hoping for a cool air punch for the longest time I swear.
I'm still baffled MNK doesn't have an air or Qi punch
Especially since one of the signature skills of the Monk in other FF games is Air Render.
I’d honestly like a move like the bards repelling shot, using the enemy as a springboard to escape danger zones.
Is settle for a rock chuck! Let me do something at rangeeeeee besides /beesknees
"give monk a ranged"

Just call me Flipper! Proud DRG here!!! And just started SAM and I just hit the sparkly buttons. Your laugh is making me crack up!!!!

Didn't learn about positionals until E8S. Was a tank my whole time in FF then joined an fc, got some raiding buddies and lvled Dragoon.
Didn't know about positionals until I decided to try using Monk. During which case, I _had_ to know.
I honestly want MNK's ranged attack, be them ripping a boulder out the ground and yeet it at the enemy.
The fact that you actually stopped mid-sentence to check your WASD keys got a nice chuckle out of me.
It took me about 5 years of playing to figure that out I just went by model visuals.
