Monks Issues

[5thofnovember]

I was looking on the forums and havent found anything concrete yet other than the fact there will be no greensteel handwraps, and the new bursting type rings where the devs attempt to rememdy this, Since then Ive heard anyone can use these rings and all the fighters are foaming at the mouth in anticipation of them.

If this just increases the dps difference other classes have over monks it will not bring monk dps more in line with other classes and does not remedy the " no greensteel handwrap issue" I would like more information on this or some links to informative dev info clarifying this in detail.

As many chars like to occassionly prove themselve by trying to see how far they can get soloing difficult quest alone or with use of NPC for switch pulling and such, I tried this out in Rainbow in the Dark and was stopped at the entrance as the scepter that gives light makes me lose my monk abilties and cannot be used as a monk wpn, so I would be forced to run it in the dark. Please make the Light for this quest usuable by melee monk types or make it a diff type of item that anyone can carry without penalty.

OK next item for discussion , how about some Ki pots or make the mnemonics work for monks too.

Also in pen and paper there where Iron bound Staffs, Silver bound staffs and such to help with DR Penentration or increase dmg I would like to see that in the game as we are not a bunch of farmers running around with branches we chopped off in the woods.

Last but not least a Bo stave master could easily fight multi opponents and shatter kneeecaps and such with no problem so why is this not reflected in the crit range, I would like to see a review of crit ranges on monk wpns and some of them are not where they should be.

Also whoever decided shurikens are slasking wpns got them mixed up with the villains bladed hat from some James Bond flick. Shurikens are piercing, get someone to throw one at u and u will understand what Im talking about, if you get slashed by one it was a near miss, and count yourself lucky.

I know none of these are easy fixes except the mnemonic pot one, but I would like some consideration given to some of these as they would help round out and balance the monk class in line abit more where it should be.

Thanks for your consideration

NO GREENSTEEL HANDWRAPS

[5thofnovember]

I posted that i know there will be no greensteel handraps just wondering how they where going to address it without creating something that just gives other tunes even more DPS than monks, if the new rings are the solution but anyone can use them, then in creates an even bigger gap and will force monks to do tons of shrouds to equip themselves with them to try and keep the current same lvl of dps and such.

rings only work on unarmed
