The Monk Temple

I think our threat is an issue on purpose. Right now we sit on top of the DPS meters but we are the only dps without threat reducing abilities. That means while we do more damage it gives other a way of catching us. It also caps our dps so no mater how good we are we will never be over a certain level.

I am so damned happy they didn't increase the duration on GL. That is our skill check and I like it just the way it is. The other buffs are nice bonuses and fast/more shoulder tackle is so nice and will be great for keeping up GL.

Sadly one ilm punch is still trash and fists of wind is still pointless... even worse with faster shoulder tackles.

Shield Oath is buffed, more enmity gain, and WAR will be as viable as PLD as main tank, so maybe threat will not be our major trouble in 2.1

Well this change sucks
Allagan Sollerets of Striking

Before: STR+18, VIT+20, Skill Speed+21, Critical Hit Rate+15
After: STR+18, VIT+20, Determination+15, Skill Speed+15


Critical hit rate increase has been reduced from 20% to 10%. However, this change does not affect benefits granted by the trait Enhanced Internal Release.

So it will still be 30% for MNK?

How? The Mythology boots have the same stats, just get those.

And, yes, to your edit.

I already have them I just got the Allagan this week lol.

And that's cool for IR but sucks for B4B

That's my understanding.
However, BfB got the same treatment which means it's only 10% for MNKs now.

The Boots shouldn't be a big deal since you can buy the Myth. Especially since they raised the cap, it won't be a big deal.
They're just trying to not have gear with identical stats.

Straight-up GL buff with no downside?

I almost feel embarrassed for letting this happen.

Why would your maximum dps rotation include ID, if you can get higher than ID damage with your "dps" half of your 6 hit rotation, for at least 25% less TP?

BS does 150*1.5, ridiculously high 225 potency, at 60 TP.
True does 190, can crit, and only costs 50 TP
Snap still does 180, can crit, and costs 50 TP.

ID is 180, lower than all of them, and costs 80 TP.

And you need the other half of your rotation to keep up buffs.

At what point is ID ever useful now?

Also, what did monk do to require such buffs?

They were already the top TP user, now they're going to be miles ahead of everyone else.

I'm talking 20% more damage if not more.
