Your a strange chap. If you want to know something .... ask
..... playing this game of you saying how I do things (most often slightly wrong) and then me correcting you is getting tiring.
I'll spell it out for you. SOMETIMES ... I stun things .... when I do I swap some gear and use stunning 10 wraps ..... Most often I am either using my Epic Thornlord or bashing things with my alchemical and NOT trying to stun anything and I'm not trying to be crowd control either.
I never have issues with ki ... I am either in earth/water stance with henshin set or fire stance with shinto set
If you think monks are crowd control then I have no idea what end game you are playing. In end game I am playing the casters insta kill all trash before I get 2 or 3 strikes off. If I stun it then I am lucky to hit it 3 more times before it's killed by some laughing over the mic PM. If it can't be insta killed then generally it cant be stunned either.
I have found trying to stun in end game in a good party is pointless which is why I TR'd this toon into this build ... a DPS/stun pure monk build is no fun as you'll never end up with top dps compared with other end game builds and insta killing makes stunning redundant. (my experience)
The alchemical earth/air wraps are FUN
... turning stuff to stone and earth grabbing them which which goes off all the time is fun ... a novel concept I know but I enjoy using them and they make good boss beaters (for many bosses) which means less gear swapping.
If I am solo then it depends on the trash and I will alternate. Solo Epics sure I will go "stun mode" but solo epics on a monk is not efficient and I use my PM for that as most people do.
If I want real DPS I go AA mode.
Anyways ...... another minor update
I am making some air/air wraps (need a greater power cell snarfle) and have made a stalker ring (last night griiind
... more experimentation to come.
