Unchained monk lvl 8 ki power - PFS

[SwiftyKun]

Hey all. So I'm having a little trouble deciding what ki power to pick up for my level 8 unchained monk. Personally, I'm torn between Abundant step and Wind Jump. I like the idea of being able to fly around with Wind Jump and fight things like a Saiyan, but since I have to land on solid ground, and I can't attack/move/attack without investing my few monk feats into the spring attack tree(I think since it's flying I would need fly-by-attack anyways and PCs can't take it AFAIK) it's usefulness seems less. Abundant step lets me teleport long distances, albiet my turn ends once I do it.

Is Wind jump as bad as it sounds or is there some tricky way to use it effectively?

Is there another ki power you would suggest over these two?

Take abundant step and look up the Dimensional Agility feat chain.

You'll thank me later.

I took restoration. Not having to rely on if someone can cast it when needed can really save your ass.

You also skip the material cost, which is very nice, and why I'd reccomend Restoration, too. Or, if you don't have it already, Empty Body (flight, invisibility and walk-through-walls all in one).

To full attack after Abundant Step, you'd need Dimensional Dervish, which you can't take before 13th level. Unless you have Pummeling Charge, of course. You also have (or should take it at 9th level) Flying Kick for "pounce".

Not in PFS, yes.

I mean, PFS can go up to 13 and above with seeker tier play and sanctioned modules and such. So personally I think dimensional agility is still a good option.
