Golden auraed monk Vs Criniage

[Anonymous]

For anyone disputing monks potency.  This monk can give you some lessons.  We had a small skirmish prior to this, then We both reset, and I'm running along the road.  My sanctuary just fell and I didn't notice.  By the time I did, it was to late.

The sun surely shined on this ole dog's ass there.  The amount of frustration I've had fighting countless others and not being able to get some really good rng really made this feel sweeter. Sorry you were on the receiving end.

This showcases the skill on the monk's part in timing, but it also shows how RNG won the battle.  Protective shield falling AND stunning the opponent in the same round so they can't respond?  Combine that with an instant lag from chii bolt and another from air thrash and it is a scenario where it doesn't matter how often it actually occurs, it gives the monk the initiative.  Imagine if invokers fireballs have a 7% chance to stun you for a round like the shocking flag.  It is why I support a buff to monks while changing away from these mechanics of denial of commands.  It is also why monks do well against most mages.

(In no way am I saying monks are OP or don't need a change.  But, any buffs/changes to them do need to take into consideration that this CAN occur regardless of how often.)

Guess that answers what Tiger stance is for.

I think it is time this haste buff is removed.

P.S.  At least lower the duration, it's a very nice haste.

 

[Zhurong]

It should just be removed, the haste is not technically available to "all". One person can use the prayer wheel and then just come back when the timer is over, using it again, thus keeping the haste for themselves so to speak. The prayer wheel is a cool idea, but we all know about it and it is basically who gets it first and can keep track of the timer.
