Fellow MNK's team up with me here.... [dev1042]

BLU spell:

Orcish Counterstance
Increases the caster's chance of countering.

Ok so seriously - wtf? First SAM gets counter with Seigan/Third Eye - which isn't so bad as I can see how they can have some kind of use for this. Yet, now BLU gets a counterstance that doesn't reduce their own defence? Wtf is this. Sorry SE but deeming MNK as "overpowered" compared to a lot of other jobs (which in a sense it actually isn't) - your giving BLU a spell that gives them the ability to tank almost as good as a MNK ?

If anything - BLU has been overpowered and has taken the place of quite a few jobs (notably RDM) yet you keep feeding them more. BLU has the ability to enfeeb (even status effects that aren't possible by other jobs - ie Terror / plague etc), the ability to heal for a solid amount of HP (arguably as good as a RDM), and not to mention pretty solid DD, ability to stun lock, and lets not forget feather tickle / reaving wind.

This should probably be on the BLU forums but the most recent announcement effects monks the most I believe. (Not to mention I will get a stupid amount of trolls on the BLU forums for this post).

Add a reduced defence to this spell. That or make the chance of countering using this spell quite low.

Guess we will see what it's like when it is released.

Monk worried about losing thunder to BLU?

lol.

I think we'll be okay.

BLU is a job ?

Someone completely missed the note of it being roughly 10% counter increase for 1 minute with a 4 second casting time.

king of the hill(by milesss) and can still find something to complain about. really?

Dont worry, it'll only be useful for solo'ing for fun for the most part. BLU doesnt' have enough points/slots to set that when they're proc monkey for VW atm (4+ spells per elements absolutely kills their usefulness as 'BLU' in VW).

I think double attack at highest level would be a cool bonus!!

magic 8 ball says...
highly unlikely

I have no problem at all with this, I don't see why the big fuss lol

Actually, my blu cures better than my rdm, two words, white wind. I love my blu, but your right it is a total rip off and overpowered dd, eer mage, whatever it is.

Nah.

Blu is pretty weak if you're fighting anything stronger than VT monsters. My buddy's is damn near perfect but we both know it isn't really worth a damn on Voidwatch NMs or anything with a modicum of strength.

Ouch, lol, the truth stings. But it still cures better than rdm.
