i wouldnt mind some abilities from d3. i enjoyed that version of monk. but that would probably be more for ww. since monk is suppose to be the kung-fu class of the game shouldnt we have 3 different fighting styles 1 for each spec. drunken boxing for tank, and then i havent really put much thought into what to use for the other 2 specs. i do feel like monk should be treated like druids though with having 4 specs. there basing around the 4 celestials but then 2 of them get used for mist why not split it
im with you on all of this. that would be nice. that was the 1 thing i do like about ff14s combat was combos
as someone who loves monk, let me just say something… your right about crane kick, it looks silly, but it’s supposed to be reminiscent of ryu/ken’s spin-kick from streetfighter (plus it’s a pretty-darn-big aoe!).
second, flying serpent kick is perfectly fine the way it is. i use it when i need to move across water quickly on my monks, it’s quite handy!
and third, fists of fury… it’s perfectly functional, even though i miss when it stunned foes in-place during it’s duration.
…sorry, i… i felt an urge to defend my favorite class come over me. so… don’t take what i just said as me being confrontational! i’m more just pointing out how i feel about it.
It was an analogy to a monk topic which was “just because it was there from the jump, doesnt make it good.”
If you make a new topic in the Offtopic Forum im happy to explain the history you dont understand. As for this thread, just post about monk ffs.
With a lot of the monk stuff, the physics really weirds me out. I can be strafing around a guy and use blackout kick. FoF triggers off another ability now (dont remember) and so youre doing two things at once. Im also FoF while moving. It all feels very weird.
That’s fine I’m just sorry I was in first in the thread. I’m certainly no spokesperson for monks. Next time “I’ll just say 'great idea OP! I look forward to others feedback!” and slink off.
Others who have played the spec a lot longer have more relevant, in-depth analysis than me saying “lol spinning crane kick? Amirite?” It’s just some dumb, offhand top-of-my-head feedback.
