Multiple style monks per raid.  We currently raid with (2) harmony monks.  We work great as a duo.  My question to the masses is this.  Do you feel we would be better served to have one of us change to Drunken / Dragon.  Now I’m speaking just for raid purposes, as my monk is almost always parked at APW. 

Do the mitigation aspects of the drunken monk make it a more capable “PULLER” or are the debuffs of the great harmony monk a bigger plus? 

Just curious what you guys think.

you waste a lot since the 2 sets of debuffs dont stack. 

1) Drunken doesn't add mitigation

It all depends if both of you are pullers it might hurt if one of you goes to dragon simply because u lose the 20 sec 100% dodge buff.  You keep it with drunken.

Dragon youd get a bit more dps then 2x harmonious i would think.

Drunken has a 15 second immunity as opposed to find the center which has 20 seconds, dragon has no immunity however is by far the best puller for entry wing due to sun dragon's carona and their defensive stance (when I was dragon I could easily tank fire elementals).

Drunken also gives you a shorter cooldown on certain abilities if you switch to your neutral stance for them (for example 3:15 when stacked with aum kor for magnificent drunken swagger, the drunken immunity buff), and I think has the best stance for pulling past entry wing.  Just FD'ing around APW, I usually stick to neutral stance just because I don't trust slaps not to knock me out of FD like damage shields currently do.

They are all good damage, I personally think at least with my gear that dragon is still the highest dps, followed by drunken, and harmonious (harmonious however makes up for the slightly less dps with their buffs/debuff).

But hey people can argue that all day long, and not get anywhere.  All the styles do good damage, I like mixing it up in our guild and having a variety.

If I had a full set of Tiraslee's I might consider swapping to harmonious, but I'm still mostly in crafted gear.

Monks are good at getting up a wiped Raid!

I have made it into the deepest places of a fully spawned dungeon using Find the Center with My Harmony Monk!

We aren't as good at rezzing in raids.  We cant do it during combat like we can outside APW.

Swang was referring to after a wipe, not while people are dieing.
