Someone figured out how to see the Monk enhancements a couple weeks early...

Quote:
Monk enhancements:
Note again that my toon that can see these enhancements only has 2 monk levels, so cannot comment on how the later abilities scale.

Henshin Mystic:

Core:

Riddle of Fire:
+1 Fire and Force Spellpower for every AP spent. +2 Fire resistance, and -2 enemy fire resistance vs. your ability per core ability.

Ki Bolt:
5 Ki, 3 Sec CD.
1d6 fire and 1d4 force damage per 2 monk levels to an opponent. Double spell range.

Sounding Staff:
While centered, any staff you wield is treated like an implement, granting +3 spellpower per point of enhancement bonus.

Incinerating Wave:
20 Ki, 12 sec CD.
You produce a wall of ki flame that travels away from you, dealing 1d6 fire and force damage plus 1 fire and force per 2 monk levels every 2 seconds to all opponents near it.

Cauldron of Flame:
30 Ki, doesn't say what the CD is.
Also costs a meditation use.
Enemies around you take 4d10 fire damage every 2 seconds, increasing by 2d10 fire damage every 2 seconds you stand in the very center of the flames. If you leave the very center of the flames, the effect ends.

I suppose, coming at it from a caster clonk PIV, that's another place to find Wisdom. But, right now, folk are saying the Wisdom from Cleric Hjeal Domain and Protector Domain lock each other out.

I wish I could go actually fucking test this.

Sort your downloading crap out, Turbine. Arrrrgh!

One of the statements was that identical enhancements (ie: with the same name) would not stack. Same statement included that 'but different stat bonuses from different tress would', or some such convoluted claptrap.

read here: Still no real plan, still guessing games when it comes to planning beforehand. 'simpler' my ass.

To translate my response over there into vaultieeze: PICK A FUCKING METHOD FUCKSTICK!!!111eleventeen

However, MajMal stated that the omission of 10kS in these trees in an omission, and not a statement of removal of that ability. One should take these trees with a grain of salt until they are officially previewed.

So what happened to all the stances?  You currently spend AP to get the disciple/adept/master/grandmaster stances of air/water/earth/fire along with the corresponding elemental move.  I see the moves in tier 2 documented, but that's it.  It looks like Shintao gives some similar benefits to what Earth used to, in the form of PRR and HP and such.  But the others seem missing.

As mentioned elsewhere, the Monk Healing amp is at the core of Shintao tree, but that's it?  That's not as bad but:

Touch of Death is at the top of the Ninja Spy tree and Void Strike is at the top of the Henshin Mystic tree.  So those will not be generally available to all monk anymore?  Only those specific PrE's? 

That's awful.

If Touch of Death is not already tied to the Ninja Spy enhancement line, I've been playing my Shintao wrong for several years now.

Bummer about Void Strike, if true. Void isn't really all that reliable in epic, but sometimes it works in EN and EH, putting a smile on my face. Nothing is going to survive this unscathed.

About the only character I have that might not be screwed is my 20 bard. I don't think even the Turbine devs could make bards less appealing than they are already on live.

ToD only requires the following currently:

Requires: Requires One of: Adept of Wind, Adept of Flame, Adept of Rock, Adept of Rain
Requires All of: Path of Inevitable Dominion: Fists of Darkness, Static Charge, Porous Soul, All-Consuming Flame, Winter's Touch

So, just the Tier II elemental attacks and Dark Monk.  No Ninja spy requirement.

I wouldn't have thought clerics could be less appealing either.  Turbine continues to amaze.

Yeah, well my point was more that Shintao has never been eligible for Touch of Death on live, so no real difference on that one. I guess there will be a lot of builds with 9 levels of monk that get hosed unless they invest everything into a monk tree now - I didn't think about them.

At first glance:

henshin = for quarter staff users
ninja spy = for short sword/piercing weapon users
Shintao = for light monks/defensive

Where is path for unarmed darkside ass kickers?  Sure you can do Ninja or Henshin with fists, but you have a lot of stuff that doesn't work.

The stances are now feats. No stat requirement to take these feats. 1 level of monk required to take these feats. Lesser stance is free with 1 level of monk. Then there is a feat called Adept of Stances, Master of Stances and Grandmaster of Stances. Yes, you only need 1 monk level to have a grandmaster stance. Yes, that means that 18/2 fighter/monk can take the tier 5 kensai ability to remain centered with their focus weapon (eSOS for example) and be in grandmaster earth stance for an extra crit multi. Or fire stance for more str or wind stance for doublestrike or whatever the fuck wind stance grants.

There is only one path, and one playstyle in the new DDO.

I have an Orwellian 1984 doublethink phrase running through my head right that goes something like "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. Uniformity is Diversity".

I have an Orwellian 1984 doublethink phrase running through my head right that goes something like "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. Uniformity is Diversity".


Maybe they're trying to crunch the differences back down to near d20 levels where the little numbers have actual game-impacting meaning? (Yeah, I doubt it too, or at least given their track-record of inflation to high heavens, their probability of success at it.)

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Good grief Meat, you're hopeless. You would label the simple act of taking a shit as someone obeying the divine law of nature to leave a proof of existence.

Can you take one point in one tree and 2 points in another tree and have them stack?

Probably? Honestly since it was the fighter and arty I was interested in this round, never really bothered once I saw they were rank 3->4 unlocks, with all the emphasis on prior investment in both trees that implied.

The stances are now feats. No stat requirement to take these feats. 1 level of monk required to take these feats. Lesser stance is free with 1 level of monk. Then there is a feat called Adept of Stances, Master of Stances and Grandmaster of Stances. Yes, you only need 1 monk level to have a grandmaster stance. Yes, that means that 18/2 fighter/monk can take the tier 5 kensai ability to remain centered with their focus weapon (eSOS for example) and be in grandmaster earth stance for an extra crit multi. Or fire stance for more str or wind stance for doublestrike or whatever the fuck wind stance grants. 


Interesting.

Is this a feat for each individual stance, or does it just check if you have the base stat?
