Monk- general discussion and feedback

[Cthulhu]

Onyxys makes a thread in the DPS forum about how MNK is gimped and is told to play better. Instead of learning to play better Onyxys goes to General and makes a thread about how MNK is gimped. Onyxys, I'm sorry you don't know how to play your MNK. It's a very powerful class and doesn't need a buff. Have you looked into BRD or BLM? Sounds like they might fit your play-style better.

Sad archer. I can repeat once more- if anyone dont want monk changes- just dont wrote in this thread. This thread is for those, who can give ideas to make monk better. You dont have ideas- good bye. Thank you

You don't get to dictate what others get to post in a thread on a public forum. You also still haven't listed the FACTS of why Monk is the most unpopular DD class.

Monk is definitely a very nice job.

I'm currently training myself on maximising greased lightning, one thing I've noticed is with Rockbreaker being untargetted, if you can finish a group of mobs in Coeurl form with 6-7 seconds on greased lightning then hit it on the way to the next group to renew the greased lightningtimer it will give you just that little bit more time. Following with Arm of the Destroyer will then set you into Raptor, so when you reach the group will only need a True Strike and Snap Punch to get back into a fresh greased lightning stack and out of the danger zone, so even if there are just 2 seconds on the timer you should be able to keep up greased lightning.

Only occurred to me today, and I need to test this out to see how practical it is (sorry if it doesn't work or it's already widely known and I've just been missing something).

EDIT : NOpe doesn't work, Rockbreaker won't let you use it, was hoping it was like Arm of the Destroyer *sigh* ok that's something I'd like changed then :P let us Rockbreaker without having a target, since it's just a conal :P

Give MNK an aoe dot

One Ilm punch looks to be a pvp spell, if there was you know pvp. Removing buffs is a strong thing for pvp, pve wise it's almost worthless with exception of a few fights that force the mechanic to be a step beyond useless.

I think they just need to fix Fists of Wind so it gives Skill Speed boosts like it did previously.

Monk is really fun to play.

1) increase the duration on a number of things
2) decrease the CD on shoulder tackle as well as the minimum distance requirement
3) change howling fist to an AoE used in raptor form so we can have a AotD>HF>RB AoE rotation
4) make fists of wind lower GCD as well like the old tooltip says and maybe a bit more of a speed boost, that way people can actually decide between wind/fire

I can see this becoming a part of the rotation opener when perfect balance and greased lightning is down, wind until you are at 3 stacks then switch to fire. Wouldn't mind if it worked that way, although the other elemental fists only boost one stat, so if it was either/or I'd keep it as movement speed.

[Soukyuu]

so if it was either/or I'd keep it as movement speed.

Do we have a use for that movement speed though? About the only slightly cumbersome use I see in that is to switch to it between enemy groups to reach the next one before GL3 runs out. But then, we are limited by the tank's speed since they have to arrive at the scene earlier and grab aggro. Plus in most cases we can just use shoulder tackle to quickly reach the next enemy, not all the time though.
