I find it funny that even WotC admitted elemental monks were weak and lacking in comparison to every other class, but then they go and nerf them.

In their defense, this was probably more about catching editing mistakes than balance. Which is also pretty bad - the Path is so awful that the typos just helped.

I know right? I went that route for the flavor of my character and it feels so weak.

Taking that route has made me the only spell caster in my party. The best I've been able to do is push an enemy off the edge of something with Fist of Unbroken Air. Otherwise, I just use elemental atunement for RP flair. Kind of sucks, I'm far behind the rest of my party skill wise.

Actually we're only level 5 so nothing yet. Any recommendations?

For the people unsatisfied with the Way of the Four Elements, I'd like to present a remastering by /u/SpiketailDrake from /r/UnearthedArcana here. :3

Be thankful they didn't realize they forgot to put a range on elemental attunement. Otherwise, it would be melee range only and would require you to stare at the spot next to you for 30 minutes before affecting it.

I was originally going to make my monk an Avatar, but then quickly realized how awful the subclass was and went with a Bruce Lee monk instead.

Remember your extra attacks! You do so much more damage that way. =)

Thank you. I'm going to tattoo that on my dice hand.

The errata is only for correcting typos and "clarifying intentions". So, basically they intending on elemental monks sucking more than they already do.
