Has it been confirmed that this adds 350 damage to each tic of a dot?

Have you seen a noticable improvement in your dps by adding int?

Does the proc actually heal your defensive target or you?  That looked pretty sweet to me.   What mobs do the recipe drop off of?  Or is this a quested item?

Are you telling me a drunken monk does more damage than harmonious?  Yet all everyone keeps saying here is that harmonious is over-powered compared to dragon.  Something is wrong with this picture.  Seems like Harmonious needs a damage increase.  We should be doing more damage than drunken.

As for increasing monks damage, I for one would vote to increase the damage of our kicks.  They are the most used attack, and yet we have no way to increase there damage.  I think increasing there damage throughout all levels would be a good way to increase our overall dps.

I have to disagree on the rogue versus monk comparison.  I have a 50 monk and a 40 rogue, the rogue damage is better by far.  Now they do require a good tank but damage wise they will own monk.  Monk has better deaggro, but rogue does get a poison to reduce aggro and a flechette that reduces major aggro.  Then can restealth with smoke bomb.  With a good solid tank, the rogue will own a monk in damage.  Their shank/shiv/ravage line is better damage than thousand fists and has absolutely no cooldown.  I can do it all fight right now.  Maybe that is a bug, but until they change that the rogue will own monk.  Imagine how much damage monk would do if thousand fist was available for every chain.

So do you think player made fistwraps are better than torchbearer?  How about a player made dps sword versus the player made fistwraps?

For weapons, the best in game is the torchbearer.  It has 71 dps.  I have yet to see a crafted item that can compare but am definitely on the lookout.  This may change if the 2-H weapons start doing double damage on crits but at this point Torchbearer is best weapon in game for Monk DPS.

It would be easier if you just write down all the skills that you got and we can tell you which ones you are missing.

I agree the nerf is ridiculous.  What it took me 50hrs or more to get the item.  I could have spent 5 minutes to get 600 mithril.

While I am not particularly happy with the 5% part, I don't think it is as dire as people think.  Monks do have skills that will allow them to survive a failed FD.  Personally I like the fact that there is one check versus a check against all mobs.  Now if you happen to fail FD twice in a row, that will be a problem.  FD could be made more effective if we really did have the 0 delay we are supposed to have in between FD.  But since it is on a cool down, it actually does force a delay on a skill that should have 0 delay.  Not sure why this is done, but I think it is kind of stupid.

I really don't like the snare or the stun.  I just want more damage.  Being able to snare once every 5 minutes or so doesn't appeal to me.  Not to mention, there are a ton of classes that can snare. 

This chain should be about damage and killing, not about snaring and stunning.  I am ok with the DOT. 

Anyway to take FD off of the global cool down.  We are supposed to have 0 refresh on FD but the global cool down is enforcing a 2 sec delay.  Would love to get rid of that if the Failure chances are going to be so high.

Does this mean we have a 95% chance of success at level 49 mob, and 100% chance for any mob 48 and below?

For PEH I did not say 4K damage, I said 4 times the damage that thousand fists does.  I could care less about the DOT.  This attack should do massive damage.  I brought up the rogue 12 sec crit to validate that this would not be over powering.

I just like the idea of making this a risky move to pull off but making it worth our while.  Under this model we could obliterate a 3 dot of equal level every 5 min or so.

Here is an interesting idea.

3 finger strike = celestial kick type damage and causes mob to instantly aggro
hammer fist = thousand fists finisher type dmg plus adds a ton of hate
explode the heart = 4Xthousand fist dmg

What this does is make the chain very tough to pull off, and perhaps deadly, but offers a high reward with the damage it can do.  There is a chance we do massive damage, and there is a chance we die.  I don't think the damage is out of line as I have a rogue and seen what they can do.  They get an ability that is 100% crit for 12 sec, and it refreshes every 90 sec.  They do massive damage.  I can kill an equal level 3 dot in those 12 sec almost every time. 

The effectiveness of swaying step is based on a mob of equal level to the level of the ability.  Very similar to how crit% and dmg% increases used to work.  So as you get new ranks it actually does improve effectiveness it is just not as obvious in the description.
