Does the monk really perform THAT much better?
monk should do 20 seconds or less on u33 lama boss tests. the old stalwart+tempest versions cant sustain that on anything with 500k hps. there are only the monk versions, the kensei versions, and tilo's sneakzilla that compete at those ranges. the monk version being the fastest red name time of them all.
the kensei tier 5 version is very good single dps. but lacks dod. i wouldnt recommend a wolf without dod. ever.
the monk gets the faster single dps times and has dod. tilo's comes close to the same single times while also having dod and slightly better defenses while not losing any dps in hvy armor. and does not require spamming ki attacks to get those times. I highly recommend that version. too bad he took his post down.
I suppose monk can do cabal test in like 3-5 seconds. it will be now firmly in the same category as furyshot times for burst damage. but mostly sustained.

Current wolf crit profile is 18-20x3. That is an effective base damage multiplier of 1.3 or equivalent to 30 melee power.
Proposed changes should enable 16-20x4. That is an effective base damage multiplier of 1.75 or equivalent to 75 melee power.
the shintao tier 5 version can probably beat the tempest time. but it probably will be very close. maybe 2-3 seconds on avg. if we had million hp kobolds then the shintao version would win out easily.
if ld vs ld :
tempest :
100 dstrike and 30 mp for 15 seconds 1k cuts
shintao :
10% off hand
70dstrike
35 mp
have you calculated the number of attacks on something with haste boost, swf, 100 off hand, harrier, and killer?
u33 comes up soon. take your toons over and make a vacuum for faster kobold times. it will beat tf due to stacking vuln to 20 in first 2 seconds. try the shintao tier 5 then try the 1k cuts version. use the questing ap and not the dummy racing ap. let us know
