The Monk Temple Reborn

[Ricdeau]

If it is unaffected by GL speed increase and SS then it's not going to see too much use. It does seem odd that Elixir Field is the only real thing being added to the rotation compared to the other two melee. Right now our changes really revolve around things to do during downtime.

So far I'm looking at it like Odowla is. I think can be a filler move. So we can fit 7 GCDs between refreshes of DK/Twin. Sometimes we don't have anything to use if ToD and Fracture are up. So you'd still gain stacks just at a slow pace. Then you get additional stacks for mechanics where you can't attack or phase downtime. I'm trying to think about it positively until I get my hands on it and can determine if it's no good or not.

Edit - Daily post limits are stupid. I agree that they are addressing our biggest problem, Odowla. I think everyone was looking forward to the changes in rotation that are typical of an MMO expansion, and Monk doesn't appear to be changing much. Time will tell though.

To be fair that's monk's weakness. You restart after downtime with 0 stacks and basically 0 damage. All you have is Perfect Balance if it's up, otherwise you gotta build them up

Well, they said in the letter that that was their aim.

This makes me get hopeful. I really wish this is viable with the extra time.
