Monk - Ranged "Pulling" Ability

[ziddyt]

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. At all.
You argue that monks shouldn't have a ranged pull because they're melee, while conveniently ignoring that Dragoons have two ranged attacks. How are monks supposed to do it? Gee, maybe they do it the same stupid way Dragoons do, throw something.

And you act as if this is some kind of balance issue. Single target dps is irrelevant to this discussion. It could literally be 0 potency and it would serve the purpose that we want. This one skill would do nothing to change class balance or how any class feels.

What I mean was maybe that not every melee has to have a ranged attack, for dragoons it makes some sense, since they can throw their spear, but what is monk gonna throw?

It is not a balance issue, but plays a part in the process of making the classes feel different and unique. I threw in the dps fact because this is obviously solo only thing, when you sometimes have to tackle multiple mobs instead of 1, and having a high dps makes soloing easier of course. Monks even have good self heal, so it shouldn't be that much harder to solo content. If you so badly want to have a ranged attack, play a class that can do it instead of proposing to streamline the classes because you want to have everything.
