The Monk Rework is a bit overkill

Monk is only within 2% of other melee wouldn't this put them 10% over every job in the game or am i tripping? They still have greased Lightning so why were their abilities buffed like they don't have it?

old bonus : : Increases damage dealt by 10% and reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 5%

30% Damage Dealt, 15% recast//spell/auto. (40%/20% wind)

New : 20% Damage, 20% Recast

45% vs 40%

but the shift from 50/80 chakra's to 80/100% will make up for that by a large margin plus an overall minimal damage output increase.

They removed the dmg up buff of greased lightning (it only affects attack speed and gcd now), so they had to increase the potencies accordingly.

I agree, these monks (or monkes as I like to refer to them) have been the best job in the game for 5 expansions now, I think it's about time us dragoons rise up. Dragoon should have received a 100 potency buff to vorpal thrust to make it easier to play (that's my fav skill). If YoshiP won't buff Dragoons, I'll have no choice to go back to playing Fortnite for this upcoming patch. You brought this upon yourself, Yoshi.

Yes, But they aren't accordingly increased so the outputs the same, potencys are looking like they are increased. over duration, it seems to me that they will be outputting around 6.2% higher damage overall.

If the potencies are reduced because of greased lightening removals, why was forbidden chakra lowered?

The Forbidden Chakra Potency has been reduced from 370 to 340.

The effect of Brotherhood has been changed from "Increases physical damage dealt by 5%" to "Increases damage dealt by 5%."
The effect of Meditative Brotherhood can now be triggered by the casting of spells.
The chance a chakra will open when party members under this effect execute a weaponskill or cast a spell has been reduced from 30% to 20%.
The chance a chakra will open when dealing critical damage with a weaponskill has been increased from 70% to 100%.

i think thats why they changed that way, also Tornado kick and six sided star really got huge buffs.

Dont know if you guys and girls are fine with the change of "Riddle of Earth"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effects of this action have been revamped.
Riddle of Earth now functions as follows:
Reduces damage taken by 10% and nullifies all action direction requirements.
Duration: 6s
Maximum Charges: 3
Recast time has been reduced from 60 to 30 seconds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If i understand it right, than i dont like the change of that, "old" version where you have a 30 sek Free window was better than this 6sek windows.

What do you all think. Again i am really new to this job, only lvl 72.

Seems fine because the recast time has been cut in half, so it would end up being 18 x2 = 36‬ seconds in the same duration as before, but you have to use it a lot more but at the same time you will mitigate a LOT more damage.
for longer durations keep in mind there's also true north.


Correction : 6 x 3 = 18. l

I think the riddle of earth change is fun, it promotes a more proactive gameplay, whereas the old riddle of earth was a bit too passive with its long duration.

Id expect the real fleshed out version in 6.0 the buffs all around is predictable Does this make people want to go back to, or try monk now?
