Title: Am i the only one with this Problem ?
Post by: Sasa on April 04, 2007, 12:31:27 AM
Hi there fellow Monks,

im playing an level 31 Half Elf Drunken Monk, and im having an serious problem. My attack chains are bugged. Thousand Fists, Divine Typhoon and Flying Kick. My Situation:

Lets say Sasa attacks someone.

Engage on boundless Fist, critical, Chains activate. Now i hear the sound, the cooldown counter on the Chain starts to run, but the button itself stays dark, so its activate but on the other hand it is not. Thats the case in 60% of all my chain reactions coming in. So im loosing all the DPS that left to be. All the time im asking in the channel noone ever has the same problem. So is my char bugged ? What can i do ? As you notice im having that problem on engage already. So Endurance is fully loaded.

Also Jojo writes about clumsy whirl - damage etc etc - everyone complains about it beeing useless, guys serious, im not even able to activate it. Counter attack pops up ill click clumsy whirl and it tells me requirement not met, button goes dark ive had my counter reaction also nothing happened.

I really love my Monk, drunken ist not as bad as it look. But it seems i got some serious Problems noone else has...

It's a common issue I think for all classes currently.
The easiest way is to make hotbuttons for each finishers - it's the finisher bar that's broken not the finisher per se. Pressing G will default you to using flying kick (or any advanced finisher opened, or any counterattack opened - but finishers have priority). I simply keybound Thousand Fists to X (and then use G to trigger the followup).

some / commands that might come in handy:

/cast "Thousand Fists II"

or

/reactionautochain
/reactionautocounter

I'm not sure if its the issue but cooldown does effect chains/counters...and when it effects counters it really sucks because it seems like you only have half a second to pull it off.  I've made a hotkey bound to one of my extra mouse buttons that will do chains in the order from highest damage to lowest, then I hit G for any advanced finishers after those.  I also added in /reactionautocounter to most of my normal attacks because I always seem to miss them because of the fast time, and this way I don't lose out on a freebie Stinging Backhand by hitting Jeering Kick too fast.
