Monk: Forbidden Chakra

They already addressed this in the Liver letter though.

Q18. It's hard to stack up Meditation while moving around inside the dungeon. Do you have plans to add an action where we can stack up to the maximum amount at once?

A18. While developing, we did consider making it possible to stack up to 5 while not in combat; however, doing this made it where they were able to output strong damage every time for individual fights, therefore, we currently have no plans for this.

SE logic is so broken, do we not ALREADY stack it before every pull..... this would just allow us to do what we already was gonna do but minus crapal tunnel after each pack....

Their point is that if you were in a dungeon and the tank pulled, say, 3 mobs, you could 5 stack chakra, single target down the mob, then 5 stack again since you'd be "out of combat" due to only attacking one mob.

Thats not how combat works though, if one single party member is engaged in battle and you are in the same area you are incombat, no matter what.
If that wouldn't be the case Healers that don't dps would have an insane amout of Mana reg because they are not in combat.

1. That's not how it works
2. You just lost 440+360 potency by not using EF and HF on 3 targets to be able to use a 320 potency hit once or twice, meaning the whole idea is stupid


Considering we start fights without 15% aspd and 27% dmg I don't see how we would ever be strong.

I think the developers are skilled enough to figure out a way to make it so that if Meditation is used near enemies in a dungeon they would be put on the enmity table and not be allowed to use it per monster.
It should be like Stoneskin II minus the fact I know applying buffs to party members is a different story.
