  • I am trying not to really be involved, because the whole reason I like monk is likely going away. I basically program an offense, I get slots, I get limits and I fill them based upon a current goal. We select afflictions to reach a goal and try…
  • Did you just list paralysis are a replacement for an amputated limb? O_O
    Aeon replaces mangle and pierce? What the Nil.

    @Estarra Is…
  • Sorry! Back from all the stuff, have an essay to do today and this week is a pitch competition but I will try to get something  out to make sense.  Anyway here is some feedback:

    Proposal two is preferred over one, as one has a l…
  • If damage is adjusted to fit the new system (As it looks) then this looks rather well done.

    Still want to move things like dodge over to general resistance instead of a die roll that stops potentially everything. 
  • I need to read the whole thing but anytime this comes up, please reconsider immediately:

    Negligible bruising: extends equil/balance recovery by 2%

    in Physical Combat Overhaul (ailments, knights and monks, oh my!) Comment by Malayn April 2015

  • Agreed, any changes in mechanics should go through envoys.

    Lerad, dodging. *crackwhip*.
  • Thank you for explaining your perspective, it is easier to respond to than .

    Playing defensively as a monk is counterproductive unless we can maintain momentum. I am asking about removing dodging (the main way we avoid damage ki…
  • (Quote) Not really, but I like how you are the only person becoming personal.

    None of the above are resistance to dying to damage, which is what the resistances mean.  "Resistance to sprawl" is not something that stops staff o…
  • You are citing a single tertiary as the source of resistance for 4 guilds, most of whom will not take that one tertiary.  

    The obvious result is dodging should become damage resistance all (since you don't have psymet, you can't…
  • Just ignore psymet, you are still ignoring the part where I said most monks will be acro.  Acrobatics does not really have DMP available, it has dodging, so is that converting to resistance or are we keeping the dodging mechanic? 

  • "Super tattoos" is a question. What levels would they be looking at? Everyone can get to 10, monks can get to 20.

    Psymet is not used in combat generally, too easily hindered (which causes momentum loss). The primaries lack any r…
  • Now to add some damage resistances to Monks, because monks have next to nothing at present :D

    Wiccans had all the DMP …
  • Healing was balanced for the guilds that were out when it was made.

    Institute have too much offense while having healing.  Shadowtwist also works with healing far more reliably than shadowdancers otherwise would (because the off…
    in Healing Comment by Malayn February 2015
  • Your comparison was apples and oranges.  

    Curing/healing another person costs eq, curing/healing yourself does not.  The person you are curing will also die in certain instances, for instance warriors win on attrition. You won't…
  • From a combat perspective, I despise healing.

    Let us say it does its job, you get afflicted with most anything and it is instantly gone.  Heck with auras you can prep to stop things passively that guilds rely on (aeon for instan…
  • Mages can be dreamweavers too!

    Void was an addition to make dreambody useful, it really isn't and could go away. Rather dreambodies have more of an offense and less of a gimmick.
  • That seems like OOC information. Where as HONOURS shows some of this off, it was more a showoff type of thing. Anytime script can alter IC events, there is an issue.  If you did not catch them doing it you do not know when, and that is how it should…
  • (Quote) Hate transfix, mucous, sluggish, and ecto? No.  Sluggish was a mistake, uncurable super affs are.  Mucous is kind of like mud or ground being frozen, aka can go away/be replaced. Transfix isn't bad, but should not really be a passive. It w…
  • Rolling together mangles and tendons has a very very big impact on the relevant guilds. Basically if you can do a softlock during a mangle it is still a hardlock because the mangle cures into broken leg, this is not true for the tendon version of th…
  • We know something required the removal of the tridents, I always pictured whale riders or something.  Though something like a gladiator or something might also fit.

    Gaudi still needs their monks, we don't need the next archetype…
  • Woah woah, I do not support the rich get richer. I would be content not to enter any of the events generally, but I want TA, and thus need a seal.  I want it ONLY because of TA, I do not spam events for credits, nor do I think I am even allowed to e…
  • Can the utility not be an effect on PvP though.  Trueheal, or even moon - full for free is just dumb. At least keep in mind it deserves the cost enough to have it. Bad enough you could have a trueheal for 8p even if it has some limits, most combo gu…
  • The artys that always seem to be the most popular are the ones with utility. Scent nose, Pogo, Map, etc. I prefer the damage myself, but that is because I am me.  We have proven time and again we will buy utility things! We loves us some easier life.
  • Now that I am back from the convention.............

    Big rave for the craziness of Chaos.  It was far far from certain what would happen the entire event, which is more in line with the theme than previous years!  Sorry for the r…
  • (Quote) Holy crap that is a big list.

    I believe the simple rule was it cannot give any ego regeneration (I do not know of any skill in harmony was allowed because this would require checking if a heart mantra was us…
  • Amulets were soul, were same room. 

    Does ress do a full ress or ress to 1 hp? What power cost does it have?  A lot of these really really strong abilities seem to be made free when they should have costs to offset how potent man…
  • (Quote) You don't call truewhore light, astral fling (as escape), ressing people, and the other things it does utility? I will note that the cost of ressurection amulets cost a lot more than these wands did. So they shafted all prior ow…
  • @Estarra: I don't mind faster to allies, but something to note is this would still mean someone could instantly drop a portal to an ally if you walk in. Givi…
  • Even with limits, wondercure is probably a bit much if it cures everything.

    I have been told prone can stop it (waiting on clarification of sprawled or any prone), but this still means any combo based guilds that don't naturally…
  • (Quote) There is a small hope.  

    Admin willing, Monkish would like to review the skillset and create a spread draft to theorycraft with first.  The skillset does not need to be out, if we have proper information we …
