So What about Monks and Epic post U9?

[Ssmooth]

If it's gonna require your to go full-****** on Wisdom to get a DC that'll actually land then yes, dump it and don't bother. What's the point if you won't be able to hit or damage your target?

However . . . how well are the 40 DC stunning fists working on Lamania? Are they complete garbage or good enough?

With the increase of epic mob saves, a 40 stunn DC will probably work less than 50% of the time on regular mobs, almost never on ogres/WF/trolls. That is if your a dark monk. The will-based stun of the light monk will probably continue to be effective, or at least more effective than a traditional stun.

And here I thought wisdom was not a dump stat for a monk...wrong again.

I really hope my monk will not become useless in epics. While I'm happy for my rogue, this new update might become very frustrating.

Well as some people tested Rouge sneak attacks don't get 50% dmg boost against hopless enemies. Still if you used rapiers your rouge won't be hurt much by changes (probably some burst / blast effects).
Didn't tested tnis on monks, but the other bigest loosers are Dvarwen axes (that fall behind kops for auto crits), Picks (we all know why), and Greataxes (eSoS for everyone). (oh and bows also don't have apealing usefullnes)... The biggest winners are scimitars / rapier fighters that will do more weapon dmg than before changes (probably a little less from energy than they used to).

More effective, but pointless in the long run for a Shintao. It costs 25 Ki to activate. For the same 6 second stun.
