The Monk Temple

Well this change sucks
Allagan Sollerets of Striking

Before: STR+18, VIT+20, Skill Speed+21, Critical Hit Rate+15
After: STR+18, VIT+20, Determination+15, Skill Speed+15


Critical hit rate increase has been reduced from 20% to 10%. However, this change does not affect benefits granted by the trait Enhanced Internal Release.

So it will still be 30% for MNK?

How? The Mythology boots have the same stats, just get those.

And, yes, to your edit.

The difference in skill between Monks will be more apparent than ever.

Works for me.

I'd trade 15 crit for 15 det any day. Losing 6 skill speed is negligible.

Yes.

That's my understanding.
However, BfB got the same treatment which means it's only 10% for MNKs now.

The Boots shouldn't be a big deal since you can buy the Myth. Especially since they raised the cap, it won't be a big deal.
They're just trying to not have gear with identical stats.

So how does making our rotations more complex and important make it easier to play?

Are you serious or a troll?

The up of BS and True Strike make ID useless, simplifying the optimal rotation. A 15s twin snakes buff make True Strike ALWAYS profitable, even when you have to refresh dot, simplifying the optimal rotation.
Post 2.1, playing monk is just spamming the same roation over and over, that's actualy not the case.

...Are...are you stupid?

Our rotation in 2.1 will be constantly moving back and forth between flank and behind. Right now it's primarily just flank, with, like, two moves being used from behind occasionally, and only if you have top tier gear and don't care about TP.

lol, you're a lost cause.

Pretty sure you are, since you're in the minority here.

He's only wrong because those of us who excel at MNK don't find it all that challenging in the first place. That doesn't mean that the imminent influx of FOTM players are going to be any good at it. That said, he's also right because those of us pushing MNK to the limits now are going to be falling asleep in 2.1.
