The Monk Temple Reborn

[Ricdeau]

One would assume that Torando Kick will have the benefits of GL3 before consuming, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow. Now to wait in anticipation.

[Zamii]

It also weaker than new demolish full duration now. So the possibility of using Tornado Kick if no PB up is none.

actually when you consider dragon kick wont affect demo DoT, then TK will still be stronger, but not by much.

[Evtrai]

Isn't Tornado Kicks Potency (330) Multiplied by GL3? Wouldnt that make it roughly 420-500 potency after GL3 is calculated?

Isn't GL3 the requirement to use the skill?

I'm not really liking what I'm reading so far, none of this skills seems that would be used reliably on a fight, unless the new fights are plagued with jump mechanics or such, I have been trying to think of instances were chakra is worth using when you are up close to any fight and nope. There doesnt' seem to really be anything that adds to your rotation that is new besides elixir drive, which is pretty dissapointing.

Hopefully I'm wrong, I want to be wrong and proved wrong.

Same thoughts here. If we could weave Meditation, all the changes would make sense, even Purify not consuming stacks because of the long cooldown.

OnGCD though, it becomes "stack before pull, never use again" most of the time, which is VERY disappointing. I guess we'll know for sure soon.

So would Elixir Drive be effected by GL3 then? Was so hyped about the MNK changes but now it seems as though MNK got the short end of the stick in terms of class changes. Assuming a high uptime fight theres nothing really new to add

The only saving grace i can think of would be mega potency Forbidden Chakra (500+) considering it will get such limited usage.

[Ricdeau]

I see no reason why Elixir Field would not benefit from Greased Lightning, or any other moves for that matter. Greased Lightning is what makes the class so adding in abilities not effected by it seems...counter intuitive.

Every ability should affected by GL3...If they make Shoulder Tackle back to 1.0, i can see we weave Shoulder Tackle into rotation.

So that would make elixir field probably one of the most powerful oGCD abilities then? What would the potency be after GL3 is applied? I'd like to compare it to DragonFire Dives potency etc.

What was the difference between shoulder tackle 1.0 and 2.0? I know they adjusted the speed which alot of MNKs didnt like.

1.0 => No range requirement, so can use it point blank. No more stun after 1st usage.
2.0 => Min range requirement, always stun.
