The state of monks in PvP

[Zabuza]

If MNK / DRG gets a snare, they will be on par with the other DPS classes. Not overpowered. On par.

It's necessary with how the server handles lag and stuff, even with them lowering the delay I still sometimes miss attacks while right on someone.

I have seen a couple decent MNK's on my data center. I can't remember their names now, but one is using Allegan weapons O.o When played correctly they are a scary foe that brings a lot of burst. Although I haven't played the class, I can say that most teams I have faced with a MNK seem to fall off after their initial burst. MNK/MNK/MRD teams global me in full i90 no matter the heals does. Melee dps seems like they will benefit the most from i90 morale gear, but I never see one that has taken the time to rank up

Because all the burst comes from their skill perfect balance... which is on a 3 minute cooldown... So they can normally only burst 1 time per match, which is my gripe. You either kill a target during that one window or it's over.

Perfect Balance is an "Oops" button (or potentially to faster ramp up dps), it has very little to do with burst. 9 out of 10 matches I use PB to squeeze more damage into the tank at the end for commendation consideration, rarely used at any critical point in the fight.

For Burst: See the 4-5 Off GCD's at your disposal.

I usually use it for burst and to get 3 stacks of GL early. It's either that or take 20 seconds worth of GCDs to get 3 stacks.

No guarantee that planned adjustments to SMN/SCH will affect Miasma's heavy Adjustments to the healing debuff and pet damage/healing seem more likely.

Which actually annoys me greatly, since Miasma is so broken.

You are aware Axe Kick gives instant GL3, right? PB isn't your only source for racking up Greased Lightning quickly.

Well, I'm willing to admit when I've made a mistake, I basically skimmed over the description of it. I knew that it gave Pacify but I never read enough of the skill to know it did that ><.
