Just did a test to compare my favorite go to monk build. Currently in NS I like the Inna Reach weapon setup using the bastion of Will rings. So no convention of elements as I use the 2 piece Crimson with Rorg in the cube. The Amulet is a Squirt.
So in NS I use cold as it is the best choice for me. I was able to push up to a 138 gr. After a few fails I narrowly completed it. Then in the PTR I imported the identical character and pushed with the best element there which is fire. I was disappointed in the PTR result as the best I could muster was a gr 131. That result is viewable in the PTR leader boards. So a difference of 7 levels.
I was hoping for a 134ish in PTR as then I can 1 percent gems to 150. Allowing me a sense of progress using my favorite build. To reach a 135 ish I will have to resort to the Shenlong build which I am not fond of. I am not really skilled enough to play the shenlong’s so for me it is not fun.
I am requesting a re-thinking of the devs as to that massive Inna nerf they are considering. The split fire was fun so why not just bump it up to 5 from 3 like it was before. The 900 from 3000 ought to be upped as well. In the PTR I noticed hardly any damage inflicted on certain groups. That of course is common when pushing but never in a gr 131 at my level and gear. It plays weak like most the other monk builds now.
Thank you for your consideration.
