The Monk Temple Reborn

[Coltvoyance]

To me, it sounded as though Meditation/Chakra is a way for us to be proactive during "downtime" phases when we cant hit the boss. Using Chakra to regain TP or to assist with regaining GL3. The skill that consumes our GL3 stacks is to give purpose to the fact that we are forced to give up that powerful buff.

The whole system is built around making the detrimental "down-time" Monks were forced into, useful for them in fights. Those "down-time" phases were great for other classes, but for Monk it just put a hard reset on everything and made us start from scratch. I see this system as the solution to that.

And to be honest, I dont think Monk can be "too OP" it deserves its rightful place as "Highest DPS" because it's one of the most difficult classes to play correctly.

Tbh I was expecting GL4 at level 60

I was as well, but after mathing out GL4, I think the devs probably realized just how rediculous Greased 4 woulda been, I mean, its like 163% total before you account for other buffs.

I'm just gonna stop speculating until we get some more info I was mostly posting that to get everyone else's interpretation of it.

I'm just happy they're focusing on fixing those annoying down-times for MNK.

Im just a littlle bit dissapointed that the new kick isnt as flashy as demolish

Although it is pretty hard to have cooler animation than demolish

from the video here's the skill order:
PB
RB(GL1)
Meditation(?)
SP(GL2)
HF
Demo(GL3)
Unknown Skill(I assume it was the GL3 dump move because after using that skill, the monk lost all of his GL stacks)

I thought the last skill in the end was 2 skills but it looks like 1 skill with a long animation like demolish after watching it a few times.

I believe the skill after Demolish is the ability that consumes Chakra, and the one following it is the one that uses all of GL stacks.

We’ll be adding a system known as Chakra. You’ll be able to gain up to 5 stacks of Chakra, and once reaching the maximum amount you’ll be able to execute a high damage weapon skill. Additionally, you’ll be able to use Chakra to restore TP to yourself. Furthermore, there will be an ability that will allow you to change your form and a weapon skill that consumes Greased Lightning.

Sounds like the Chakra move and GL drop move are separate.

They probably look like one because of the long animation of the first one.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain it's 2 abilities. It's way too long to be 1 long, and he even pauses for a short period between. If it was one animation, you would never see the whole of it in fight, since you would start a new animation before it ended lol...

I also think you're right about the first one being the Chakra move, and the second being the one that consumes GL stacks.

The way they worded it, those 2 abilities are completely separate, and the one consuming GL stacks won't use Chakra stacks.

I've seen some confusion around the abilities, but to clarify to everyone... We know of 4 new abilities, and the Chakra stacks. High damage weaponskill that needs maximum Chakra stacks -- Ability that restores TP by using Chakra -- Ability that lets you change form -- Weaponskill that consumes GL

I've seen some that think the high damage Chakra ability restores you're TP too for example, but that's not the case. Also, the ability to change stance and the one that uses GL stacks, doesn't seem to use any Chakra.

If it's two skills in the end, look closely, the first skill he uses the one that jumps in the air and does a spirit bomb thing, he looses the gl stack there.

We can assume the uppercut is the high dmg mediation/chakra skill.

My question right now is how do we build up chakra stance...is it over time....skill related? Aahh so many question and it's exciting.



Oh and I'm glad no one made a "rip monk" thread in the forums...that's just me though and maybe I love being challenged and stuff.
