I'm glad all the perfectly fine classes are getting even better while we continue to blow.

yay for us  :idiot2:

Not sure why it didn't include:
- Monk – Added new icon graphics to Harmonious Body on the stance menu (didn't change it on bufflist though!)
- Monk – Added new icon graphics to Eagle Claw.

Seeing those changes actually made me happier than last patch notes (Harmonious body icon is preeetttttyyyy!) so not sure why it wasen't included, as it had about the same impact on gameplay!

It's more a UI fix than monk fix,  but I agree the nice yin / yang is perty. The 3 styles all have a slighty different version of it.

~QTM

Indeed, but it's still pretty!

New icons for Dragon stance too (the ying/yang too - how creative ;)). New icons for advanced finishers as well and omg BLAH!
We have a heart partical effect while eating now -.- Please no..I always wanted hearts coming out of my a**..

Wonder if they sneak patched the monk mob/learning from the test QTM mentioned..

I play a DK alt now and those fix's were actually needed :P

But after seeing the AIM from QTM gives hope.

You guys never realized our Patch Evasion skill is always maxed for our level?

Endurance cost of some skills were lowered. Though there is no mention in notes.
