The Monk Temple

Can someone test the TP gain and possible dps loss with using True and without?

It doesn't matter what your skill speeed is (though please report it), but I want to see if realistically (well, dummy realistically) true is worth using in place of twin.

Please use the standard rotation (no cooldowns, no dragoon abilities aside from invig if you want), and use True strike whenever you will not use ToD in the next 12 seconds.

Then test again and see how quickly you run out of TP with using Twin all the time.

Can't you just find out via your simulator? It would be much more consistent than parses.

[pandabearcat]

Well simulator is half broken atm, I would have to go back and set flags for TP again, and also people don't seem to trust it so I wanted to see what the parsers say.

Plus I'm in a holiday mood so any sort of work makes me cry.

It's ok, most people don't believe in my spreadsheet either ^_^.

GL is getting a buff and the damage from behind is getting a buff WOOT!

A6:
Monk:
The buff effect of “Greased Lightning” will be increased. In addition, the amount of bonus damage monks will be able to do from behind a target will be increased.

I kind of fail to see what logic goes into the conclusion that "Monks should deal more damage", lol.

I was hoping to see a twin snakes buff duration increase more than a greased lightning buff, to be honest

I always thought the tight duration of GL is what made the class so challenging and fun...although I guess technically they never flat out said they are increasing the duration.

[Soukyuu]

Eh. Well, I guess now we are going to be even more of a solo target dps king...

[Allyrion]

Um...I'll take it!

Not sure we need it though. Once it's not something lame like increased duration (unless it's for Twin Snakes, that'd be fine).

Maybe it was in response to the majority bard parties used for coil. Idk, but I'm not complaining ^^
