Monk: Forbidden Chakra

[MajisTek]

Subtle wish to change how Forbidden Chakra functions in and out of combat.

Outside of Combat: Please allow Forbidden Chakra instant V stack.

Inside of Combat: Remain current I>II>III>IV>V stack mechanic.

Example benefit from change: When doing content solo, I can have Forbidden Chakra ready to use during fights with weaker enemies. This shouldn't be overpowering considering anything that would die instantly to Forbidden Chakra would easily die without having it ready to use in the first place.

For the sake of not getting more wrist issues and continuing to enjoy the Monk job!

+1 meditation outside of combat should give instant 5 stack......it get so fking annoying to spam meditation between each fight AND switch form. in combat it should remain the same but outside.....plz give us instant 5 stack

Mashing 8 skills out of combat between pulls is not what I would consider fun or engaging. It's not even challenging it's just tiring and tedious.

If they allowed Meditation out of combat to give you 5 stacks it would at least reduce that amount of skills that need to be pressed down to 4 between pulls which would be a very welcoming change.

This would be a great quality of life improvement for monks!! Really hope some change like this happends!

[Lilyth]

Completely agree. It wouldn't unbalance things since we already gather 5 chakra stacks before each encounter, it would just make things easier for our fingers.

They already addressed this in the Liver letter though.

Q18. It's hard to stack up Meditation while moving around inside the dungeon. Do you have plans to add an action where we can stack up to the maximum amount at once?

A18. While developing, we did consider making it possible to stack up to 5 while not in combat; however, doing this made it where they were able to output strong damage every time for individual fights, therefore, we currently have no plans for this.

SE logic is so broken, do we not ALREADY stack it before every pull..... this would just allow us to do what we already was gonna do but minus crapal tunnel after each pack....

Their point is that if you were in a dungeon and the tank pulled, say, 3 mobs, you could 5 stack chakra, single target down the mob, then 5 stack again since you'd be "out of combat" due to only attacking one mob.

Meh guess we wouldnt want to be SMN type OP on trash....

Thats not how combat works though, if one single party member is engaged in battle and you are in the same area you are incombat, no matter what.
If that wouldn't be the case Healers that don't dps would have an insane amout of Mana reg because they are not in combat.
