Monk: Anatman

[JamieRose]

What is this skill for?

[Rongway]

Press it when the boss disappears and is untargetable long enough for your form and maintenance buff to fall off so that your form and maintenance buff don't fall off before they come back.

[SpeckledBurd]

It upkeeps whatever your Fist Stance is and your Disciplined Fist buff when the boss goes untargetable or you have to disconnect for a longish period provided all of the following are true:

1. You don't need to spam Meditate for Chakra or Form Shift to enter formless fist for whatever reason
2. There isn't a cutscene attack coming to knock you out of Anatman
3. There aren't mechanics that would require you to move or which would move you and cancel the effect
4. The boss comes back before Disciplined Fist's extended timer would run out anyway

For most fights from level 78 onwards (IE: when you get it) at least one of those conditions won't be satisfied, so you won't use it or it will fail the vast majority of the time to the point where it basically doesn't justify its own existence. But if it does work you'll save a small amount of potency.

I think it makes you small enough to enter the Quantum Realm.

[Payadopa]

I thought you turn into Batman. I'm... disappointed.

It's been a pretty much useless skill before it was even added to the game. And for some reason, someone on the development team decided to dig in their heels and require that we keep it.

Would be better if it worked like Samurai's meditate and gave us chakras for staying in the form so you don't have to pick between meditate spam or anatman, but they would have to make sure it worked properly so that we aren't just chakra fishing like used to happen with the skill.
