Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Atreides]

Just slap 15% more attack speed on Mantra which will also affect spell speed. Go! [/sarcasm]
Or not that would be a slap in the face TP wise. D:

But yeah more DPS utility wouldn't hurt. :/

Lol, "Hey bro, heard you were running low on TP... here's 15% more attack speed of xx time. Good luck!"

Would be pretty funny actually.

Idk man, I'm high and 10% sounded OP lol Never going happen though unless the people that cross class it doesnt get the + damage.

Well they could just make it part of the traited version that only monks have. That is if they were to do something like that.

10% damage up on a 3 min cd doesn't sound OP. I mean hell NiN get that on a min cd...

that sounds like one of the healers in my raid group, just got ast to 60 and been messing with it in alexander, every so often i get an arrow card on me.. and when its potency enhanced.... lets just say having a gcd of 1.66 seconds is amazing and scary.

Holy shit this is why I don't like visiting the official forums, don't know why I keep coming back.

Alright, yes, MNK is underpowered right now, but it's not in a bad position. We're simply lacking offensive utility. We are the safety melee right now, the DK and 20% extra healing is no joke. And the Dark Knight's Delirium argument has no place here, if your group has a DRK in it then you're obviously not doing or planning to do bleeding edge content. Dark Knight is inferior to the other two tank jobs. That's the end of story. Our Dragon Kick will be valuable depending on the fight's mechanics.

To make MNK better, all you'd need to do is two adjustments.

1. Granting a Med stack when refreshing/gaining GL, allowing us greater use of FC therefore solving our tiny bit lower DPS problem, this would also give PB a option to be a offensive CD.

2. Make MCH's damage be blunt, creating utility, I don't even know why they didn't do this in the first place.

Regarding our new abilities?

You can't complain about Elixir Field, the move is awesome.

Form Shift is a LIFE SAVER. There is not a single fight typically where I don't use it.

Tornado Kick is perfect the way it is right now, it is INTENDED to be situational. There is no need to increase it's potency or else it will infringe into our normal rotation creating the need to use it on CD, which is just stupid.

Purification is whatever, yet to use it much except A2.

MNK is still alright this patch, here's screenshot of some DPS from the leaderboards of Elysium showing the comparison between the melee DPS.

Keep in mind that no one is even trying in Alex right now, hell the top MNK in the FC hasn't even bothered submitting parses for Normal Mode.

There's a lot more dumb things said in this thread (except Hak you ok) that I could address but really don't feel like taking a swim through that shit.

I'm still annoyed by the fact that pretty much everything new for MNK is about downtime, and I think this could be an opportunity to change that(doubt it though). If you somehow got Chakra stacks every X seconds(or after certain amount of weaponskills used etc), you would obviously output more DPS, and you would still get to use Meditation during downtime like now.

They wouldn't have to decrease the potency of Forbidden Chakra like we thought before, since we're behind on DPS anyways.

Purification would actually make more sense too, since it's when there's little downtime that you really need TP...

Some more utility like have been mentioned, would be nice, but this is much more important IMO.

EDIT: Also... yeah, those Elysium leaderboard numbers can't be them trying too hard. I've gotten higher than those without using pots, and I'm usually a fair bit behind those guys. I expect I'll fall behind again for Savage

i'll be perfectly honest, im rather disappointed by your monks, and dragoons arnt doing much better, im guessing this is just from the not trying but even so...

im curious though, who would you consider the top monk?

[Ossom]

I wouldn't say Lucrezia's Monk kinda sucks. His rotation (opener) was probably the best one I've seen in 2.0 Other than that I don't know anything about DnT monks, the only Monk I think I know from DnT is Odowola (Parden the spelling) and I'm pretty sure he switched to back to Dragoon before HW dropped too. Though hes a better Monk than me too lol
