Thread: 2.25 Balance Request Megathread

Buff my favourite job, don't buff the jobs I don't play. Take my suggestion seriously SE and don't pin it up above the water cooler for employees to laugh at.

3- GL does not need to be reduced.
4- I agree with this. But I use it a lot as is.
5- cool down on PB is also fine. Need to learn when to use it and when not to.
6- Shoulder tackle can keep stun, It is very useful in the right places. There are other jobs that can bind/heavy if it is needed. Don't really see why MNK would need to be part of a stun rotation when PLD can already do this duty solo.

1 - Rockbreaker is extremely powerful in comparison, it doesn't need a tp decrease nor a potency increase.
2 - 20tp per 3s auto-attack at the expense of ALL damage being reduced by 5% is not too much.
3 - GL isn't being reduced, it's being buffed by 2 seconds.
4 -
5 - your opinion; imo a little shorter CD wouldn't hurt.
6 - the point is to keep Shoulder Tackle from hindering the Stun Rotation.

lower the cost of Rain of Death to 120 tp and have it give the old debuff. raise chance of quicker notch chance proc
make quick notch give 10% defence debuff for 18 seconds
have blood leter give a dot
raise pot of heavy shot and give chance to give heavy
lower mp drain of songs

why when asking balance noone says
My skill "xxx" is too powerful/cheap this has to change?
/Joking

Maybe the skills listed need balance.

1) Arm of the Destroyer – tp to 100
2) Fists of Wind – restore 20tp per auto-attack
3) Greased Lightning – duration to 14s
4) Haymaker – make off-GCD
5) Perfect Balance – retain stance upon expiration; cd to 210s (from 240s)
6) Shoulder Tackle – add Bind/Heavy, remove Stun; dur to 3s, cd to 75s, tp to 100 (from 2s, 90s, 120tp)*

*now usable during boss encounters that require a stun-rotation

{more to come}{please give minor, plausible balance changes}

1. I'd agree with this, but at high level content you're better off using Dragon Kick -> Twin Snakes -> Rockbreaker. The TP cost is fine if you're not spamming it like a fool...though if they're going to keep the TP as is, increase potency a bit. I usually only use it for ADS to Silence (yes, this is a monk who actually Silences ADS, and does it well).

2. No, that's kinda powerful, and as a MNK if you're running that low on TP you're not timing Invigorate right, you're spamming AoE, or you're in a party with pretty bad DPS. I WOULD prefer something else other than the movement speed boost though, as outside of some circumstantial battles (Titan EX), you're not going to need that movement speed. Maybe a faster auto-attack speed along with it, or it increasing the duration of each new stack of GL while it's on by 3-5 seconds? Give us SOME reason to use this over Fists of Earth (switched to for unblockable boss bursts) and Fists of Fire (if it's not on when you don't need FoE, there's something wrong with you).

3. I agree with an increased time for Greased Lightning, see my suggestion above.

4. I agree with this, and have wondered why it wasn't like that to begin with, especially since you can't spam it.

5. Cooldown is fine on it, though I agree it starting you off on a stance would be nice...maybe Opo-opo?

6. Not sure on this, since it doesn't see much use from me to begin with unless I'm dealing with a bad tank who doesn't stun.

Haymaker off GCD is fine.

Rest is BS.

Summoner: Tri-Disaster that actually binds, its a good defense when being chased by multpile mobs, but not when it doesnt work
