    Default What are chances to getting martial art styles in DDO?

    Specifically Drunken Style!

    There are SO many possibilities on martial arts styles that can be plugged into the enhancement system, it would allow a lot of unique-ness in the monk class, and make a lot of people happy I would imagine.

    Any other Styles?

    Thai?
    Ninjitsu?
    Sumo?
    Grappling?
    Judo?

    I know, some of them would require new animations and new coding to achieve, but there has to be some that can be more easily implemented.

    Honestly though, I just want to be a Drunken (Dwarven) Style Monk

    Shaamis,

    I'd love to see Thai and Grappling (they kinda go together when considering the Thai Clinch), but sorely doubt they'll ever happen.

    Turbine couldn't even do the Monk correctly- I doubt they could do styles.

    Maybe less visually different martial arts styles, that offer just as much unique-ness as in-game benefit for the enhancement points.

    Akido could offer more Monk AC, at the penalty of -3 levels on the monk HtH damage, or Thai kickboxing the exact opposite, +3 levels of monk HtH damage, at the cost of -3 of the monks AC bonus.

    The elemental styles are nice, but lack any real flavor, unless there is a nice story behind them. Power attack can be a decent substitute, but it lacks any flavor as well.

    I guess that's why my monk Shaamis is a Drunken Master, at least there are plenty of Inns to "practice" in.

    Those animal styles have no power against the Drunken Master!

    Enraged Wombat is crushed by the Drunken Slap!
    Slighted Wife is neutralized by the Margarita Combo!
    Frisky Dingo is defeated by the Drunken Sway!
    Angry Platypus is beat by Shaamis' Ultra Combo: The "Double Mug Smash!"(c)

    Default I second Drunken Monk!

    There's just something about using......anything as a weapon, or throwing anything.

    Reminds me of the Jackie Chan when personified.

    And the converting drunken quaft to healing...this explains a LOT how drunks survive

    Be careful what you wish for, what you say is best; for sometimes what you seek is found, not at the end of the quest.
