Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[MalcolmReynolds]

But I think nobody plays this game for his future PVP ...

Speak for yourself. PvP is the only reason I stick around with MMOs after going through the story. Same thing I did with WoW I plan on doing here so I'm banking on the fact that PvP will be fun in this game. It's also why I stopped playing my DRG after hitting 50 and started WAR. As good as I think DRG is going to be in PvP, I think Warrior will be that much better.

Monk is totally fine in PVE.

PvE need balance too, dont you think so? Must be balance, no matter PvE or PvP game is

As for my thought- lancer's Impulse Drive much more better, than pugilist's True Strike. If GL will be more than 12 seconds no one will use True Strike. Is it right, that class skill is not so good, as cross-class skill?

Shoulder Tackle must have lower CD and must give 3-stack GL buff. In that case it would be a good begining of the fight

Impulse Drive doesn't advance Monk stances though, which makes True Strike far and away a better option if you're having issues fitting ID in.

Why monk worked in FF11:

- high hp
- high evasion
- high counterattack rate
- super fast auto attack
- double attacks and kick attacks

We have none of the above now. Even the evasion rate isnt that great. We are squishy as a tomato and unless we hit for truck ton of damage, we are going to get owned in PvP.

Yes. A million little damage pricks, which marauder or lancer can do in one blow and they doesnt need to stack any buffs- just hit and no problem. And they dont need to "dance" around enemy- 3 hit lancer combo is the best thing. Monk doest have any good AoE and have little solo-damage. When arena will be open you will see what "trash" are monks

As for DPS, if you set your rotation right, you can be critting/ attacking for 200+-300+ each hit
Dont be funny. Each hit)))

DRG actually do need to stack buffs to hit high, Heavy Thrust, Disembowel, Life Surge (whatever its called), Blood for Blood, i need all those to get a sure 800 crit on top of being in the 3rd part of my potency rotation.

and to get heavy thrust and disembowel we do have to dance around enemies, play the class..

For end game content, Monk doesn't really need a lot of adjustments.

Currently, the ones that stand out:

- Grease Lightning needs to be expanded to 20s, or losing Grease Lightning in steps . Another way of dealing with this is adjusting the cooldown for Perfect Balance into a 1 minute cooldown.
- Shoulder tackle cooldown is too long. Ideally it should be on a 1 min cooldown tops. The other possibility being that Fist of Wind getting a major buff.
- Howling fist animation is too long and does not feel off the timer.

Our evasion rate should also be bumped up. Especially for PvP.

Of course, I am also assuming that range attacks are getting a nerf. All melee attacks have stance requirements to get the maximum potential. Range attacks, however, do not. Despite the fact that range attacks are way safer than melee attacks?

Pugilist enemies have Haste, but we dont :/

True strike shouldn't even be in your rotation. Please, if you're bad and dont know your optimal rotation don't go and try to break a class.
