Vanguard Monks

So i was just thinking about this I just wentt drunken today YEAA!! any who i was looking at the stances and in looking at them one cought my eye for being kinda useless. the druken mastery stance the one that gives 10%haste and 5% dodge seems pointless because well i never hit normaly. I almost never see any white(normal DMG) come up its all just from me chaining my skills. So does haste do something else beside increaseing how fast I normal hit? If any one know or would like to agree with me or have some other thing about it let me know cuz i'm just wundering about it if i'm missing something or not. Thx

That's exactly why you need the haste.  You do hit but it's slow, you have to wait for it.  Wait for the white numbers to pop up before using an ability.  It will actually save you a lot of energy in longer fights.  If you just go through fights tapping ability buttons, of course you won't see much normal damage.  Ease up off the keyboard a bit.  =)

I usually go the 10% haste 5% dodge when im grouped, and not tanking. I have a hard time as it is peeling from the tank to go the +10% dmg +25% aggro, nor do i need the 30% dodge while not really getting hit, if im not critting all to much.

Try the +dmg one, soloing. The +haste with the right pace of abilities while in group. And the +30% dodge when your the tank.


I will say this, me and a cleric friend can take on 8-10 mobs at a time while im in the +30% dodge stance doing constant AOE spam, as well as doing your AOE finisher then you can as well. I never have issues of him getting aggro.

Agreed.  The haste is best to use in groups.  I switch to damage stance when we are in trouble and need alot of dps quickly.  However, whenever I use it, I steal aggro very easily and some people get upset at this.

ah k thx i was not so sure if the refresh on the abiltiys are based off my hits now i know  :D

The refresh is based on time, a cool down, and endurance cost. 4 and 5 dot mobs in a group should have you getting a lot of white damage while waiting for endurance ticks.
