Like most new Archetypes DD will likely have various bugs and be found to have some not WAI OP ability that people will flock to and then cry when it gets brought back to what they had intended, i.e. nerfed. Here is an idea. Play one to cap and then comment on it.
That's the problem isn't it. IF it works like what seems to be intended, it's awful. IF there's some not-WAI stuff that makes it op - that's even worse.
On topic: agreed on a missed oppourtunity for both dragon disciple (why not sorc? if monk, why not sturdy but simple monk, why is it a caster? sturdy but simple would have avoided the whole mess with builder/finisher systems) and the monk revamp which have in combination led to a rush job on monk revamp clearly indicated by how late Lama came around, how little happened inbetween them and how many reported bugs made it through Lamas to Live - the entire Ninja Spy being kaput and having no ranged attacks (Deepwood Stalker was an example on how to do this with grace - Ninja Spy a horrible one), icons being DONOTUSE, icons entirely unfitting for what they do, enhancements in wrong tiers and wrong requirements, etc etc etc.
Disagree on Samurai being a fitting Monk archetype. They seem very different to me except for the part where they have high willpower and focus on what they strive for.
