Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[Akamu_Aniketos]

Since monks are one and one specialist; why is it that we depend on hitting from the side, and back to do our max damage? Hard to say you're a one on one specialist when you don't look like you know what you're doing dancing around the enemy hoping to get that optimal damage.

This is going to suck when pvp comes out.

This thread is malicious. Lol. It's a hard class. Sometimes my dps is lacking, sometimes I pull the hardest. Sometimes I chain mobs like mad and never let my greased lightning hit the ground, sometimes I get a brain fart and spill it all over the floor. It takes a lotta work. Although I will say that an activated skill to freeze buff timers until the next time you attack sounds like a really nice idea. If you drop GL at that point then there's nobody to blame but yourself.

I think perfect balance could get reworked to act like this in someway, instead of allowing skills outside of forms simply make it freeze the GL timer or increase it.

err duferbloodmoon something bother me with your picture
it's 251 dps for 30.936 damage done, giving a time of 123.25 second
the second one get 196 dps for 25497, giving a time of 130.08 second

maybe i'm stupid, but how is possible? i means normally if the data are for the same time you will get the same time from both. here we get 7 second of decal.

the other dps have the same weird thing:
- 15583 for 128dps: total 121.74sec
- 13290 for 111dps: total 119.72sec.

I could only assume its a dot runoff. since the parser is funky with dot readings. No MNK LB was used

Haymaker needs adjusting. the animation is too slow and its not off the gc. Its a nice move for sure but right now, you have to chose between keeping greased lightning up and Haymaker.

Haymaker is something you get (bonus) when you succesfully dodged an attack which is already rare against boss fights. But instead of rewarding the player, we have to chose between using it and keeping our other buffs goings (dragon kick, twin snakes and greased lightning buffs).

This needs to change asap. Haymaker needs to be off the global cooldown like Bloodletter and Stealpeak. Plus, its animation needs to be faster. Same issue with Howling Fist: animation feels too slow even though its supposed to off the global cooldown.

Will this make Haymaker overpowered? No, because Haymaker cannot be used normally. Also, Haymaker disappears after 2 cooldowns. You cannot stack it.

monks have the highest dps cieling. Our monk in coil consistently highest dammage :<. make sure to use your positionals where you need, keep up greased lightning if it drops off perfect ballance snap punch etc. Use impulse dive to back stab, fracture from warrior, blood for blood form drg. and might want to avoid using demolish. if your full darklight with relic you should be 250+ at all times, unless its a fight like titan where theirs a big gap. This is based off all the best monks i see in raids, and our monk. Its the hardest dps class to play, but it also does the most damage, need to work at your class to be good :<

You should read more the forums. PvP has separated abilities from PvE.
