Monk Feedback 2.6.10

PTR Feedback
1

Hello

I did play a round monk on PTR. And here my feedback:

That patch is a bad joke for monks, seriously. What are you intended to help?
There are three buffs:
Innas, Shenlolz and Gungdo.
The Gungdo change obviously will not help uliana at all, that is so obvious that you could also not buff that item. Uliana was way behind WoL builds especially with the rift guard so I did not even try. My guess is: it will still be behind WoL builds and those are approx 10 grifts behind actual TR build.

What I tested was a Inna generator build, hey, it got 2 buffs, so why not. My build is not ironed out but it was a first try.

The problem with generator still is: You have 3 passiva that are mandatory: alacrity, sti and ex soul. When you wanna survive at least something, the 4th will be harmony for sure. Another big problem with generator: you do not have cc immunity. I stated this fact many many times, but blizz will never hear. Try to play that build under 6k paragon -> you will always fail. maybe the i6r2 generator is approx as strong as a inna WoL it will still be unplayable in most grifts (when hard hitters show up or packs have fear, freeze or somethin like that or when the guard is not the same). All in all: forget about generator builds when blizz does not change it.

And still: The worst thing ever about monks: No defese! When do you learn it blizz? No dmg reduction on 3 sets (inna, uliana, rainment) and the worst of any class: No defensive ring! Many solo builds are stuck to the unity ring. That sucks so much you can never feel how it hurts. BRING US A CHANGE HERE as stated many many times.

Still:

  1. Uliana is one of most fun builds in the universe but dmg is way behind
  2. Rainment is unplayable
  3. Inna generator is unplayable when wrong enemys
  4. Where the hack is a ltk build buff
  5. why is swk stuck to wind skill and does not lift winds dmg?
  6. remove unity ring
  7. bring better passives for monk (I’d love to have some barbarian ones) most builds have at least 3 mandatory

My best runs before patch:
Swk tr 133 ~3.3k para
LoD WoL 122 (bad eq) ~2.5 - 3k para
Inna WoL 120 little before LoD
tried generator on 115 (i think) on ptr ~13 mins and 6 rips on first try
uliana will not be able to clear 120 for me, generator may come near to 120 mark, dmg is not the problem, its the defense
ltk builds will be 110ish range for me

When do you start listening to monk players?

i really hope they dont tell us next patch that “monk already had its changes and balancing” lol.

Its not even funn with the 4th cube slot wearing the freshly buffed weapon set because like a casual cannot play it right anyways.

Theres like no change at all. Oh, and to all those that tell us you can play weaker sets also and not only meta: Yes, thats exactly the point. Its weak now and its weak after the buffs. Nothing changed :slight_smile:

Uliana: I climbed 5 gr with the new gungdo! Well it’s always 10 behind POJ or Swk -_-

suggest :
Gungdo : Exploding Palm’s on-death explosion applies Exploding Palm. Exploding Palm’s damage is increased by 300-400 %.
Mix Flower of The Eternity and Lion’s claw power legendarie
Add dmg reduce to the 4 parts Uliana

There needs to be a gungdo buff that highers the dmg of palm for each palm that exploded such that a rg does not take 10 mins while the rift is clear in 5 :wink: but yeah, 100% more dmg equals 5 lvl, thats pure calculation.

Some Monk builds definetly do lack damage and/or toughness. The damage buffs we got this PTR is nice but its not really enough. There’s still other issues like not enough cooldown or not enough toughness to even survive. Would be awesome if Monks has a RGK build that can compete with the OP sader AoV RGK.

Why nobody is talking about Mythic Rhythm bug here ? If its not gonna be fixed there will be some people that will outrun 99% of other Uliana players…

You’re right, I don’t use it like it doesn’t exist anymore

Even with perfect mr usage uliana is way to bad. Especially on the defense part but offensive is a bic pain. That build should be on one level with mundu set of doctor since both are teash killer. But the rg will always take hrs

2.6.10 will bring about a new Monk build called the Inna FacePalm.

You will get to see it in full action next week October 8 when the 4th cube slot is unlocked.

Sesson only 4th slot.

i feel face palmed from blizz since only healer is seen in groups. I hate it, wanna play my build

So finally I did some rotations in the build: Now I use cdr and epiphany and allys (instead of boh and second generator). Well I feel it plays better but still its way to bad. I mean 110 in 10 mins is bad compared to 4 mins with tr or wol.
