MONK BROTHERS REJOICE

 

THEY BUFFED US

 

LOOK UPON THE PATCH NOTES AND CELEBRATE

[Maril]

They finally got around to making the TP bar visible for all party members  That is going to be so neat.

You say that, but now everyone will see how badly I manage my TP!

 

Noooooooooo!!!!

[mongi291]

So, DRK Blood Weapon is a 20% reduction? Does that mean we're going to see TP costs that aren't a multiple of 10?

[Aaron]

Do I still get my 15% skill speed increase?

 

If not ima be annoyed. I did perfectly fine with my tp and mp before this and still did everything right.

 

Why ya gotta fix what ain't even broke? >_< like really? First mp now tp?

 

UGH

[Spethah]

And now every single Monk/Ninja will glare at me if I don't play TP song, plus I got no excuse not to now. 

 

I demand a refund.

UGH

 

I'm often a bad and forget that I even have it when tanking. After all, you can't use it with Grit on, and I usually had other methods to recover my MP without having to open myself up to some heavier hits. Having it as a TP recovery might result in me using it more, but I usually don't have TP issues either - so likely it'll be a matter of me not really noticing its there unless I'm DPSing and I'm just popping it for the speed increase.

Lol @ monks having problems with TP

 

I tried out Alex this morning after the patch and oh my glob those changes are amazing. I mean, I was 100% fine with how it was before (I tend to just adapt to how things are), but now it's like.

 

THE CONVENIENCE.

 

THE DAMAGE.

 

URGHNGHNGH. SO GOOD.

 

The reduction of the meditation cast time makes it super easy to recharge between packs of mobs, and in instances where you can't hit the boss now. Before it was a bit of a tight fit, but now it's a breeze. THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. 

 

That extra two seconds on greased lightning makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

 

THAT DAMAGE BUFF THOUGH. INSTANTLY VISIBLE RESULTS.

 

I won't argue if those buffs were needed or not because I have no idea but GODDAMN, I welcome them.

[Dravus]

Hopefully we'll see PLD get some quality of life changes too. Potentially a slight damage buff as well...

The change is largely for DRK when they're OT. It gives attackspeed, so OT DRK vs. MT DRK ran out of TP faster.

It still won't be necessary to bounce in and out to use it while tanking or anything, and it's a reduction in cost rather than a regen type effect; So it's just a neat little thing for extended fights as OffTank.

 

For longer fights as MT people can now see your TP bar though, so perhaps people with TP support abilities will start using them more when the tank is 3 minutes into a fight and starting to run empty. All in all good changes.

Lol @ monks having problems with TP

 

 

It's less them having TP troubles and more "They're running out of TP because everyone else fricking sucks in A4 for dps and this fight is taking forever.". Happened in all my A4 runs so far.

[Kurt S.]

15 second quick reload! I can proc enhanced slug shot or cleaner shot more now. Now 'quick' part actually makes sense. Found it funny how you can fire a gauss shot more often than you force proc something.

[Manari]

So does this mean that all Ninja are going to be required to switch to Monk now or be left behind in the lolNIN category? Was Monk really that bad that they needed a crapton of buffs? I haven't played a Monk since early 2.0.

I don't think that's a requirement at all! The monk changes are really just polishing. Ninjas are still fine. The buffs to monk LOOK numerous, but most of them are for convenience. The greased lightning buff had to be listed three times because there's three tiers of it, etc. It just needed to be tweaked to be a bit more powerful at endgame, really!

 

I'm willing to bed that ninjas are still fine. Their versatility is pretty handy, and they bring the slashing damage debuff in the event that the team has no warrior!

[Caspar]

Not to look a gifthorse in the mouth, but I do not see why Monk needed buffs. I'll accept regardless.

 

Honestly, the GL duration increase really was the only buff I needed back when Monks were underpowered, but I guess better late than never. Now that Form Shift exists, the short duration rarely is a problem except between trash pulls.

Well they were overshadowed by the pure suck that was old drg, but back when bard was too strong, rather than just nerf bard, they slightly nerfed them AND improved monk and I think drg was later but not sure now. Closer to 2.0.

 

Even then I never really felt like I had trouble contributing as Monk, only that raid or instance strategy was heavily skewed towards ranged and that was a deliberate choice by parties.

I see! Back then I never really compared, I just did my thing and watched stuff die, didn't really have a problem...but these buffs are nice, no complaints here!

[Aaron]

Do I still get my 15% skill speed increase?

 

If not ima be annoyed. I did perfectly fine with my tp and mp before this and still did everything right.

I use blood weapon all the time. Infact I use it a lot on boss fights like in Neverreap or the second fractal boss. I don't even use it for the mp recovery I use it for the speed increase for my dark arts soul eater combos.

 

It was basically my dps frenzy button. Hell I use it mt or ot. Haven't had complaints so far.

 

But it went from 15 - 10% speed increase so I guess I can deal with that. I just hate the constant tweaking of classes so crybaby can play em when they work perfectly fine as is. (Not calling you or anyone here a crybaby but you get my point. )

[Sen]

I sincerely hope monks won't have an issue as they can have invigorate from lancers (from level twenty-two) and they get that level fifty-eight skill I'm drawing a blank on.

 

I'm not sure about ninjas as I do not play one.

[Mercer]

 

I've got the need. The need for speed.

Purification is the skill you're thinking of! Invigorate is usually enough, but if a monk is anticipating TP issues it's easy enough to charge up some chakra stacks and bust it out. Hell, with the meditation recast time reduction it's even easier now!

[Steel Wolf]

Yanno, I never really even noticed that my Unleash covered the target rings in a black morass. I'll take it.

 

Also, dat Blood Weapon buff. I'm not in any OT modes yet (still hoping to pull friends together to do the things/waiting), but that most definitely sounds like it will come in quite handy.
