The Monk Temple Reborn

Ok do we know if meditation will not on the same cool down as our 123. Meaning can I weave that in between my rotation so I charge my stack?

Sadly still don't know anything about that...

We will have full patch notes hopefully tomorrow, and there's a Live letter tomorrow too... So I'm hoping we get an answer then.

Skilspeed and spellspeed now affect damage over time and healing over time effects.
The effect of determination on auto-attacks has been reduced.
Critical hit rate now affects damage dealt with a critical strike.

Damn they switched it all the way up! lol

Also said they changed Shoulder Tackle and Featherfoot(lol featherfoot)

I wonder how the skill speed change is gonna affect my "Speed Demon" set...

I wonder what is a MNK supposed to do with Meditation for 4 levels...

if we dont get forbidden chakra at the same time, probably about as much as BLM will be doing with enochian for 2 levels

[Arkenne]

enochian for 2 levels

I think it was mentioned somewhere that Enochian gives a power boost aside from enabling Blizzard and Fire IV.

The Forbidden Chakra does sound like the most logical answer... also doubt it'll be oGCD since that would enable a way too easy method to recover 200TP...

Well it was stated that in the preview there was a lengthy cooldown on the TP recovery ability itself. How much truth there is to that we'll just have to wait and see.

[Arkenne]

True on that

Pics of new monk abilities
EDIT: pics were taken down by the twitter poster
EDIT2: stats of skills were
Tornado kick: 330 potency, 60s cd, consume GL3
purifaction: 300 tp restore, uses chakra, 2min cd
Elixir field: 220 potency AOE, 30s cd

seems like tornado kick got nerfed prety hard since the france tour, which shouldnt be surprising

[Ricdeau]

That, or the guy was just saying potencies that "sounded right" to him. I think we all knew to take what he said with a sizable grain of salt. Also 300 TP on the restore.

[Arkenne]

330p is still quite the striker, and 300 TP recovery sounds pretty amazing imo. Too bad there isnt a picture of Meditation...
Elixir Field sounds like a good addition to the rotation too!
