These are my main macros that I use on my monk.

Edit: Anyone know a good way to macro Secret of Ice and Secret of fire?

Yeah, would be nice.  My bard dual wielded sais, they looked like sais anyway. Kojani style Brute's Daggers look exactly like sais.

Would also like to see Monk armor like they did in EQ.

Those classes use Energy for their invis.  Something that will regenerate itself. Jin doesn't and that should make some difference combined with levitate being tied to it.

All your chains should be on the reaction bar. Usually when they disappear, you can relog to get them back.

For the extra hotbars the lettering in the upper left of the button should be the shortcut for it. is cs3 would be ctrl+shift+3 and c2 would be ctrl+2.

For assist, the F key is the default bind. I don't know what the command would be for binding keys but I would also like to find out. I use the default UI.

Let SOE take over? I'd rather wait for this irreversible damage. I am one of the ones that thought EQ got worse when Verant left. I also played SWG from launch up until a couple months after CU. Came back a bit to test NGE and was glad I quit. Gave EQ2 a try and quit at about lvl 30.  They can keep their hands out of it as far as I'm concerned.

I am currently a lvl 21 monk and do not see this relegation to only do grey and green quests. Unless of course things change greatly in two levels.

I am an altaholic and usually have pleny of alts in games. I have a lvl 21 monk, lvl 20 bard, lvl 17 bard, lvl 13 disciple, and a lvl 13 rogue. I like all of these classes and play different ones depending how I feel that day. All of these classes except bard are the least played classes.  I have kept up mostly on bards and monks, since those are primarily my favorite classes, and while they might take a few steps back during some patches they continue to progressively move forward toward being what they should be.

I think you might be missing the dragon mastery skills...

To get them, meditate up to 6 jin and hit the Aum of the Roaring Dragon.

Repeat that a few times.

Yeah I've had this happen to me a lot in games too...
Teras Kasi Artist in SWG (Before the unarmed/unarmored offense/defensive bonuses skyrocketed)
Martial Arts/Regen in COH (with the long pose-first animations and the 5 to 6 second multi storm kick animation)
Scout->Sundancer in Shadowbane (before flaming fist weapons and all that other stuff)
(I started all these when the games first came out)
Hard/Challenging in the beginning, then a while later I'm considered a cheap FOTM

Back to the main point... I agree with Chunli.  Even if you are working to solve these issues, feedback couln't hurt.

I have several characters that I play depending on what I feel like.
I have a Kojani Bard (20), Wood Elf Bard (14), Kojani Monk (14), Raki Disciple (13), and Halfling Rogue (10)
Had a Wood Elf Shaman (10) for a bit too but didn't care for it. As you can also see, Kojan is the place I call home.
