Monk questions, and requests for QoL improvement.

[Ricdeau]

How can you think +5% passive always-on damage increase is exciting? Do you find water exciting to drink? GL is exciting and fun to see in action - +5% damage increase is minor and non-interactive.

Do you use Fists of Wind? Would you agree that if it is not used, and is unnoticeable when used, that it should be changed? Do you think that we should have skills in our repertoire that not only have no niche use, but are simply never used? That is acceptable to you?

Fists of Fire is great, and yes it's exciting getting a flat 5% increase just for turning on an aura. 5% damage is not marginal or small...it's a sizable increase not to be overlooked. Yes, I occasionally use Fists of Wind, and I use it more than Fists of Earth (in my opinion the least useful of the stances). Yes, there are moves rarely used, but what you've listed are ones I would not put high on the priority list. Monk isn't the only class with abilities that aren't used much, however, with that in mind there's other abilities that I would say would need to be looked at before what you've listed.

Edit - Please don't take what I'm saying as an attack on you because it's not meant that way. I just went down the list of what you had to give the opinion of someone that's played monk since the game came out as well as someone that plays strictly melee DPS in MMOs.
