Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

Just checked these prelim notes to see if it would bring me out of my hiatus...always exciting to see buffs to your class when you're not expecting anything. Hopefully the content this time around will keep my interest more.

I like it, and must say that I never expected it too (I consider the class to be in a pretty good place right now). It makes me wonder if SE wanted us to be the best melee dps to compensate for our lack of utility.

firstly, im back to answer all the random questions again for the monk community!
second, after the rather quick theorycrafting i did, the buffs to monk will increase our dps by ~35 at ilvl 210, so its a really nice buff.

What order to get gear do you guys think is the best for this patch? I'm talking about both Midas Normal and Tomestones.

The Prototype Midan body piece is good, but I don't think it's worth the 4 week investment, especially when it looks like Hellfire could be BiS

Remember that you can meld accuracy materia to your gear, so unless the caps in Midas Savage are really high, you should be able to meet the requirements pretty easy.

Wish we knew the caps

Man, I haven't even looked at the gear yet... Ugh, I got a lot to catch up on.

there isnt a single piece of i240 gear that has both crit and det on it for us this patch, no matter how you look at it, gearing is really going to suck this time around, unless of course your a huge fan of skill speed

I've personally been moving away from Det for a more Crit/SS build. I just love SS right now. I'm pretty hurt the 245 Weapon isn't Crit/SS or Crit/Det though.
