Deathseeker's post above was one of the better attempts, but it still greatly understates that position. The drop to ToD is more than 25%, and it isn't just that Dark monks are reluctant to bother with debuffs; they are almost never worth using (they share the same timer as touch of death, mobs worth debuffing are immune to curses anyway, and so on).

Ok, my attempt for the pro-nerf. No other class can do 500-2500 damage on demand to anything. Sure, in dps over time that's not more than barb/fighter criticals, or rogue sneak attack damage, and they all have lit II strikes as well; but it drives us crazy that monks can do it on demand while other classes have just hope for good rolls. And since the name is "touch of death" and we think that sounds like negative energy, it should be made not to work on undead or constructs. Monks have less to lose against them anyway since they don't have the big criticals or much sneak attack damage, so to be consistant we should weaken them further against foes where they were better by comparison to other classes.

not bad. I'd buy it... maybe not for a dollar... but 75 cents... +1

First point:
The multi-strike aspect of ToD was a coding error and needed to be removed.

Finally gives the Archers someone else to point at as lame in a group/forum war

Epic fail.

You are supposed to argue the position you actually disagree with, yet make a convincing argument.

Funny stories like the one above are kind of a fail but was entertaining... so I let it slide.

Imagine you are M****** and argue that point.

I tried. I really did. Had a nice MS Word doc opened and started typing, but really without gross exaggeration and sarcasm I couldn't come up with a cohesive believable argument.

I like hearing monk players squeaaaaaaaaaaaal, cuz monks look so silly, so I absolutely support this change and this thread.

I also dislike actually contributing to threads.

It is apparent from your post that you don't actually contribute to threads.
