Monk needs more synergy...thoughts?

[Sqwall]

I read mixed feelings about Monk it seems. Some like it and some think it is a step backwards. I think if I were to add skills to monk...it would have been in the chakra form. Much like ninja only point level based. 1 chakra small heal or avoidance based skill 2 DoT 3 purify 4 Forbidden chakra (same animation different name) and 5 One hundred fists - casted skill (only available with 3 grease and 5 chakra and can't move during casting but man would it destroy)

[Sqwall]

Meditation can be reworked
Skill that lasts 30sec and every critical hit you achieve grants you chackra, and chackra dosn't fall off.

Forbidden charka can be used at any point once you have 5 chackra but would benefit with 3 Grease L. for full damage, and now grants 1 GL with use

Tornado Kick potency is increase with 5 chackra available by 100, and all Grease L. is lost upon use.

Basically Opo-Opo--> Raptor --> Corel x3, Internal Release, Meditation, Tornado Kick, Forbidden Chakra....Repeat Just really makes the rotation have much higher burst damage with out the silly meditations after every fight and only during phase shifts. WAY MORE SYNERGIZED for combat flow.

Only changes I wish to see is to make it so the Chakra stacks do SOMETHING when they're on you, and adding a bit to Purification. Right now Chakra are used just for Purification and Forbidden Chakra, and you end up saving it up for those, with it doing nothing in the meantime. Have it gives us some sort of % buff for each stack, such as maybe a damage reduction buff, or a small boost to the amount of HP healed from the normal HP regen everybody gets.

As for Purification, I would like for it to do something along with the TP restore, such as maybe either a debuff cure on ourselves or a small 400 potency heal, the equivalent of a Cure or Physick. Because right now I don't see myself using Purification that much at all, especially when I have yet to see a boss fight where I'm actually running out of TP.

I wish they had at least done something like you gain a stack of chakra every time you refresh gl3.

I just want another class to love me and do the blunt resist down for me

[monchkinz]

maybe 1 way of making meditation more relevant than form shift is if forbidden chakra instantly give you 1 gl stack When used? That way its faster to recover from down time.

So you can in theory if you have enough time. Stack 5 chakra and change to couerl and do demi + FB and instantly get 2 gl stack

[AniCelestine]

If we're to get a change to our skills what I'd want to see:

Form shift: 1.5s static cd, om GCD just like meditation.

meditation: chakra stacks gives some static buff, example: 1% dmg+ per stack, so essentially we can have 2nd fist of fire, and when you know you can't hit anything and can get 5 stacks back, use forbidden chakra.

Forbidden chakra: keep same potency, lower animation lock over GCD. Changes form to coeur or gives one stack of GL. Requires 5 chakra

Purification: restores 100-200tp and increases gl stack duration by 5 second. 120 second cd requires 3 stacks of chakra

OR

Purification: restores 50-100tp gives 1gl stack cd 60 second. Requires 3 chakra.


Tornado Kick: potency increase and/or grants some amount of chakra stacks (not 5 cause that'd be op if you ask me)

I hope yoshi is reading this section. U all have great ideas including mine in other pages.

[Saito_]

I like the idea of building chakra stacks with GL and using Meditation out of battle to gain 5 stacks immediately.
What I'd like with form change is receiving GL stacks on the coeurl -> opo opo change. That way we could pre-buff / maintain GL3.

Yeah like a mini PB
