Monk Chakra

I think your wrong Zerilan, So far ive come to realize the extra 300 Tp goes a long way with AoE (especially after you have expended your invigorate on the last big pull and another follows) and extended fights as long as the stacks are saved

[neoxdeciple]

I love Purification and EF for making us able to effectivly Aoe. Amazing abilitys, but its getting access to EF thats a pain, FB is nice but again the access...

Form shift, while useful, the spamming is just unneeded i think at least the change i suggested would makes Meditation a bit more bearable. not by much but at least a little.

As for the holy noise comment i disagree, Holy spam is done to literally annoy people when spammed however we manditorily have to use our spam which is god awful. but at least we know they are changing the sound

as much as increasing the potency of TK and FC would be beneficial it still doesn't fix the core issue that Meditation's intended use isn't very viable nor user friendly.

I use invig so there. If mobs r not dead yet then there something is wrong

No offense, but whether Purification is useful for AoE in dungeons or not is besides the point... cause you shouldn't have an ability that is only good in a dungeon. At least not in an expansion with only 5 abilities that are supposed to address the jobs disadvantages and/or just make the jobs feel fresh.

Purification could actually have been a very good addition to monk if it had nothing to do with Chakra or worked in another way... but why would I gather 5 stacks of Chakra only to use it on TP, when you wanna have a BRD/MCH give you that anyways? If you have a NIN in your party, you would just use his Goad, and he would need TP from BRD/MCH around the same time anyways, and even though DRGs last longer, it wouldn't make a huge difference for the BRD/MCH to use their TP regen earlier anyways.

In raids, which they should have focused most on, it's totally useless IMO. Maybe if there are some AoE phase in the raid where you need some extra burst TP, but that's a very limited use.

Except for AoE, you need the most TP when there's not downtime, but you can't use Meditation during that scenario unless you wanna totally screw over your DPS.

Think we have drifted away from the point of my post :P whether or not Purification is useful the access to it needs to be addressed in my opinion.

Im really looking to see if people can see any faults with my idea to sort this or not whether its something to potentially look at.

[neoxdeciple]

Regardless of whether Purification is useful or not the fact that The chakra system doesnt work. and something needs to change.

Anyone got any opinions of my fix?

There r plenty which been me too n the Monk page and other pages with complain about chakra and med. It's all up to the devs. All we need to do as mnk players we just need to spam the boared with fix med/ chakra pages here or call yoshi directly. Untill then we just wait and see.

[SwarleyMcSwarls]

I agree that mnk is underwhelming right now and I feel like there are a lot of viable things they can do to make it better while basically still keeping the same stuff; however, I've already started leveling another class because I don't feel like anything is going to get changed. And if it does, I don't think it'll be changed any time soon.

I like your ideas. I hate having to spam meditation after every fight. I hope they lower the number of chakra needed for each skill even if it means lowering the potency a bit. 2 chakra for purification and 4 for forbidden chakra would feel a lot better. Still allow us to stack to five chakra.

While we're throwing out ideas, I always hoped they would do something a bit more creative with fists of fire, wind, and earth. Maybe change the effect of some abilities depending on which fists we have up. Gain 2 stacks of chakra per meditate while fists of earth is active. Give each weaponskill a chance at adding greased lighting while in fists of wind. Stuff like that.
