That’s an interesting point - a new Monkey Banner that gives a similar, lesser, affect. So the Wu Kong have nots can synthesise the affect through grinding or spending.
And it wouldn’t affect raids.
I think that’s going to be the simplest answer with the fewest headaches and hate mail for the Devs!
What do you think @Duaneski?
