16  Monk Discussion / Monk General / Re: Melee versus Spells damage. Offensive fighter versus Offensive caster.... on: April 12, 2007, 05:54:20 PM
All offensive casters how some way to regen their mana faster.  Taproot, vile ritual, etc.  As a druid, i never worreid about mana i could taproot it back, as a necro i never ran out of mana because i always used vial ritual.

As a sorc played for a little bit, they were very weak imo.  They didn't do the high burst damage i was expecting honestly, my cleric could out damage a sorc it felt like at lower lvls.  Maybe they pick up speed later on?  However i was looking at sorc end game spells and i still didn't see too many crazy numbers.  Their main attack got up to the 1k+ mark, but DKs still have 2 3k nukes by 50.  Just tossing out some random info i've come across.  I personally think the balance is fine atm, my monk has been out-parsing a sorc when we group in graystone (skeletons FTW!) but oh well.
The mana regen skills, ie Taproot etal, over ride any of the 'run out of mana' comments. Jeez, my Druid basically has infinite mana if the group has a good tank, Necros can harvest the corpses of all the yard trash for basically a complete refill.

As to the Sorc being weak, yes and no, once they get Chaos Volley, AND have access to a healer they can basically 1000 Fist chain over and over again and again. Run low on mana? Shift to End using Arcane spells for a bit. I forget what the Sorc 'taproot' skill is called, but they have that as well as getting feedback recovery of mana for many of their spells. Although the feedback recovery is minimal at higher levels.

Couple data points, L18 Dragon Monk, Dragon Stance healed for 24 a tic, levelled to 19 and it went to 26.

Loving Storm stance, the proc is VERY random in damage, seen 100's and just shy of 300. Mitigation loss seems to not be a major thing at all
18  Monk Discussion / Monk General / Storm Stride bugs on: April 11, 2007, 02:14:29 PM
With todays patch I am noticing some, new to me as a L19 Dragon monk, behavior.

Storm Stride > Boundless Fist  -  Not adding Enraged to the target. BF on its own does add Enraged.

Storm Stride > Ashenhand - Doesn't always activate Auto-attack. Seems to be only if AH misses.


Now I have to trackdown why my Flying Kick and Thousand Fists no longer activate, yet Typhoon does...

For a while the Untrained Horses had better speed but had a Stability penalty. Then they added the +20 stability to all the beginner horses and made the untrained the same as the rest of the Beginner horses.
