Hello, I posted this over at SV but thought maybe it would get more attention here. I am only lvl 16 (Drunken), can someone point out whats good and bad about these changes on test please, I dont know enough about the mastery skills to know if most of these changes are general skill or mastery ones. Does this fix any of the problems with Drunken monk mastery that makes it so un desirable?
Also I have seen a lot of advice to switch to Dragon or Harmonious and give up on Drunken, How would I go about doing that if I did choose to do so? Thanks.
