An idea move for Monk

[Leozhontai]

What if we have an new stance maybe electric fist that convert mp to tp.

I think that would be sick

It's not a bad idea, as the monk would be giving up the fists of fire bonus in exchange for the regen, but it also would lessen the utility value of bards and ninjas as members who can restore TP for others.

No offense, but I think this is totally wrong idea...

BRDs (Machinist maybe too) are the DPS job with lots of "support" skills that help your party. MNKs are supposed to be DPS machines, that does help with DK and Mantra too, but their main goal to to just pump out DPS.

Having MNK sacrificing their DPS just to keep up TP, is wrong IMO... Ofc, if they balance it in a way that you would only need to be in that stance for a short period, and have high DPS overall in the fight, then it could work.

That being said, others still need TP song or Goad, and if BRD have to use it anyways, then there is no point in that stance...

Maybe there are a ton of changes in 3.0 that makes this viable, but I still don't like the idea of lowering your DPS on a MNK ever.

If Monk got Fists of Thunder (or something like that), I think it would function better by turning single target attacks into AoE. Striking an enemy would cause arcs of chain lightning to hit nearby foes. It would then serve as a situational utility, where Fire would be best for single target but in heavy add/AoE situations, swapping to Thunder might be more beneficial.

I like all of your opinions and view on this topic.

I like fist of thunder idea.
god knows mnk need a decent aoe that work more than once every 60 sec

Why fists of thunder. We already have the relatively useless fists of wind, might as well fix that before putting more fists in.

Same goes with the idea of fist of thunder aoe. That's just a band aid for the fact that arm of the destroyers is kind of garbage and both arm of the destroyer and rockbreaker are massive TP drains and Howling Fist has an absurdly long cooldown for what is essentially a slightly stronger rockbreaker effect.

Don't clutter the monk, fix what doesn't work first before adding in more crap.

Inner Focus

Stops the timer for Greased Lightning from decreasing for ten seconds, until a weaponskill is used, or until damage is taken. [/what's broken]
