The Monk Temple Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

I am hoping that the parameters they are "adjusting" on Shoulder Tackle is removing the dead zone. Not really something that is that big of a deal, but the dead zone is a little annoying sometimes.

It is, but it's also pretty neat to watch someone do something like stand in exactly the right spot for Heavensfall to get back on Nael without skipping a beat. Someone with a feel for that range can truly appreciate how baller that is.

IR says it increases critical hit rate (which should also increase critical strike damage in 3.0), but it doesn't show in the character stats page. so it might or might not increase the damage of critical hits.

It never influenced the stat "critical hit rate", just the actual critical hit rate. It will likely remain the same way in HW, where I'm guessing the base crit rate will be fixed and buffs make it happen more often. For the sake of certain jobs, I sure hope that base is more than the ~5% we currently have D:

In the JP version, they will be changing the name from (awkward literal translation incoming) "critical invocation power" to just "critical".

i was hoping that IR would interact with bootshine even just a little bit so its not totally wasted when they overlap. oh well.

I took it to mean it'll buff both.

Either way, I think it'll be ok.

DET nerf is needed, since Autoattacks scale WAY harder than anything else on DET - its keeping haste users (mnk/nin) in line with everyone else

[ErzaScarlet77]

are we getting nerfed the hardest with DET nerf?

Affects both ninja and monk the same since its dealing with Auto attacks.

[ErzaScarlet77]

Rightt but dont we auto more than nin anyway since they gotta mudra and stuff?

Mudras don't affect AA, only skills.

They aren't trying to nerf jobs that depend a lot on AAs guys... They are nerfing DET, because it kinda got out of hand compared to SS and Crit, and it would be even worse at 60.

I'm sure they will balance things so that it remains similar to how it's now relatively.

The change to Featherfoot, Demolish and Shoulder Tackle is interesting, but we still don't know the details on our new abilities :/

Based on the order of new abilities, and the fact that forbidden chakra doesn't have a level, tells me that's the same order of the abilities we saw in that picture with Elixir Field. Forbidden chakra probably is used with same button as Meditation(Chakra)

If anything, I think they're just trying to close the massive stat weight gap DET has over everything else. So I don't want to think of it as a nerf, just stirring the pot a bit. I'm all for mixing up my stats.
