Post-u33 Monk: pure or fighter-splash-kensai?

With the coming monk changes, I am thinking of doing another monk-life. Would it be better to go pure monk, or splash 5 levels of fighter to get the kensai focus on handwraps?

They're still tweaking stuff, adding boosts to DCs and a bit more power here and there. I'd wait 'til it was out on live and we get a good picture of what works vs. what Turbine says works before planning any builds out.

A lot of shit will be broken.
Probably 30% of that shit will be hot-fixed.
The rest will get fucked.

If you want a monk to be halfway decent, you need 4 levels of warlock - speck into that aura. 100+ light damage per hit? This is a need.

Oh make no mistake: I'll never be there at any point in my life; assuming the Apocalypse doesn't take place during my lifetime (all bets are off in the event of the actual Apocalypse.)

Why do you keep calling him princess?  Reminds me of Lonestar calling the Druish girl princess in Spaceballs.

It's a little early to call it, but unarmed monk isn't looking appealing.

I'll probably do one anyway, for nostalgia, but it will be a deep splash since the Shintao capstone and level 18 core are garbage. Maybe 15 monk/3 ranger/2 fighter. Or 12 monk/6 ranger/2 fighter.

Going to have to rip that TO before the oceanic excursion I have planned; already got Airplane: The Movie and Caddy Shack cued up.  Millennial chicks who have never heard of these movies find them funny as all get out; breasticles jiggling as they guffaw.

Has anyone got a link to the monk changes? I couldn't find release notes on the dev trackers.

Thanks.  Should be fun coming up with a theory build, time to start reading up on healing amp, prr, mrr & dodge mechanics.

edit, looks like the jidz tet ka bracers might have some utility value again now with fire stance getting the crit multi.

Can anyone confirm if fists of light still applies the healing curse for 1d2 per strike?

Pity there's no legendary greensteel handwraps being introduced with these changes.

I knew you'd be back.

healing amp


Changed to non-multiplicative stacking U24. OP Human enhancements secretly give both the new bonus and the old multiplicative bonus. Not really in endgame gear anymore, you'll need to cannith craft it.

Munkenmo wrote on Oct 19th, 2016 at 4:44pm:
prr


More is always better, but with diminishing returns. Shoot for between 50 (33% DR) and 100 (50% DR).

Munkenmo wrote on Oct 19th, 2016 at 4:44pm:
mrr


Same as PRR, but is hardcapped at 50 with no armor.

Munkenmo wrote on Oct 19th, 2016 at 4:44pm:
dodge


Cap is 25%, and that is easily attainable, but there are also cap increasers.

Maxing heal amp probably isn't a good idea in current endgame. There is no build that can't be 2-shotted, so the most important thing is avoiding getting hit at all.

I'm pretty sure they just added +[W] and changed the undead-specific damage to generic light damage.

Thunderforged is usually better for melee anyway.

Apparently there will be....

Quote:
One of the devs on the cast suggested they will be debuting upwards of 5 new wraps per update for the next 4 updates.

Just foruming, it's still not enough motivation to play again.

It's a shame you chose to pollute the game for so long with your filth; I'm sure many people are enjoying the game sans you.
