it is not rly big powah, on paper we got only 7% dps increased not 10%

im very happy with those buff.we get a minor nerf with BfB down to 10% but ovverall,major buff from GL+twin duration+initial dmg from demo+insane buff for boothsine/true strike and finaly a lower cd on shoulder tackle.

the monk was actualy broken before and wasnt played right.doing the rear skill was usualy lower dps then flank only....now we will need to mouve from flank and rear and that how monk was suposed to be.

bad monk will now be worste and good monk will shine.that a good thing

i'm slightly worried about getting this much of a buff. i can already feel the impending 2.2 nerf that'll be coming afterwards

yea it might happen....with all the nerf exepte war/drg/monk who get buff,monk will take the lead on dps and when a class take the lead,its usualy end up that all other dps class start bashing on it and call for a nerf.most dont understand that melee have way higther risk to die,need to dodge aoe way more and actualy take some skill to master it (especialy monk).its a risk and skill/reward class.

I don't think Mnk will get nerfed but Drg may get another buff or two.

You seem to ignoring the potency increases you got. GL increase was just the biggest of your increases.

bootshine and true strike alone is a really hight dps increase.bootshine going from 130 to 150 might not seem hight but since its 100% crit....20 more potential is hudge.true strike 5% crit bonus was kind of garbage before.now its 190 potency(higthest we have so far).demolish also have a initial dmg now,its a extra 70 potency (from rear).put GL buff on top of all that and.....its a pretty hudge overall buff imo(way more then 7% lol).

I find this update to be quite the change. they salvaged True Strikes, made it a good reason to use over Twin Snakes, upped the Twin Snakes to 15 seconds which makes rotations easier to manage. and finally gave me a reason besides personal preference to hit demolish from the back. bootshines increase is pretty mean too.

as a monk, i feel like i got spoiled this patch.

as a side note, even in the alpha the MP consumption and element attribute of the fists was not happening. The text is the same as 1.0, so It is likely that they did not change the description.

I suspect with bfb nerf the net buff is probably somewhere around 15%. Thats pretty huge considering we were already probably the highest single target dps.

the difference in dps after the patch will be even higther then before since most class actualy got nerf while we got a nice buff
