Monk- general discussion and feedback

GL duration would be fine if we had a shoulder tackle with 20 30 sec CD and a fist of wind buff with a better movement speed and lower cd to avoid aoe damage faster and get closer to the bosses asap ; it will more enjoyable to play that class and more skillfull :D ; or add a new tp skill wich push u back enough to avoid the aoes with a cd reduction on Shoulder Tackle .....

with one of those suggestions , i think , that monks will really enjoy their jobs :D

Give me a ranged attack like chi blast dab nab it!

Yes I've been wanting this for a while would help out.

Another idea about Shoulder TAckle- remove stun effect and make just a skill of quick moving to emeny with CD 10sec

What a stupid idea to make Demolish behind bonus potency. After Demolish (behind) Dragon kick comes very often (flank bonus potency)- and what do we have? Demolish animation is very long and it is very hard to go flank after it and quickly use Dragon kick without losing at least half a second. It is a big amount of time for DPS. Why did developers made such change?

You should try to position yourself a bit in advance. While I don't think Dragoon has the action lock you probably have, we do have a similar problem (Our basic combo opener is Heavy Thrust [+10% damage] -> Impulse Drive [Bonus damage from behind / only way to activate skill chain from behind]) but we always move quickly enough to perform the rotation in full.

You know, you can move back to the flank during the animation right?
As long as you start the action behind the enemy the server registers it as such and you should not be losing out on the behind potency.

I know I can move, but the hit itself comes almost at the end of animation. And you understand, that monk under GS buff have a little cooldown. So, I must wait until I hit the enemy and then move flank, but with fast skillspeed my Dragon kick is already ready for using, but I can not use it because Im not yet on the position. It is very uncomfortable and time loosing

That should not matter for the action itself.
You start the action behind the enemy so the server should register this as an action being performed behind the enemy regardless of you moving to the side during the animation.
