I have been reading posts by Fusoya and his friends saying they get 200k hits and thats its easily repoduceable etc. Im a level 50 drunken monk. I raid.  I feel I maximize every drop of damage I can  from my class and yet for some reason I have NEVER see a crit above 50k EVER. That includes using errant strikes and fists of celerity. Raid buffed im well over 900 strength. And yes we parse every raid. I am usually number 1 or 2 DPS wise for the raid. But its not from spikey damage its from sustained DPS in the 3500-4200dps range. I can bring numbers if you need them. Something you, Fusoya havent done.
So you saying it happens easily and that you can solo trash APW mobs isnt enough Im sorry. Post a video. Or at least describe what you are doing to reach these numbers. Then we can analyze where the problem is for ourselves.
You saying that you have identified the bug and and are recommending changes on our behalf scares the crap out of me. Up until your appointment to class lead Id never heard of you or seen you post here to discuss issues. The few supporters you have are your friends or guildies etc. This does not prove your credibility or that of your ideas/explanations.
So post details. Post a video of you or one your friends killing an APW trash mob in "5 or 6" hits and I'll start to believe you.
You keep saying theres a bug. You say it makes us overpowered. Ive yet to see any proof of it from you. None.
You saying so its good enough

Be that as it may I still want to see numbers. I want to know what sequence of skills used to produce the 200k hits every min and 28 secs. Again I want to see them solo an APW trash mob in 5 to 6 hits. Make a video. Until then Im dubious.It sounds like we have an apologist as a class lead. I dont want to be homgonized into melee DPS, interchangeable with rogues.rangers and bards. I do one thing, DAMAGE , thats it.

i can do alot of total dmg but i dont get those big hits. The monk dont get % based attack we get multiple attacks. Why wouldnt it apply to all those attack i mean it even says its suppose to. To me it sounds like they want it to add like if u hit a mob 3 times it wants the modifier added to the total dmg that the 3 hits did not added to each hit.
i still claim its just a nerf and they dont want to say nerf due to low numbers the game is drawing already

I see that kind of damage on Vicus when he drops his guard but still

Come on try and look at the big picture ones in a while.
I don't know Fusoya more than you, but what I do know is that online games is a huge industry, where big cash is at stake. Do You honestly belive that soe, the devs and every ones else involve would spent time, resources ect. in working close with some random 2.ed rank gamer?
Ofc. they whant the best, and as fare as the supporters of Fusoya himself, I belive they are the filthy few who actually love VG, and is able to look beyound the "me,me,me" thing.

You mean his and my say so, cause I have said repeatedly that our drunken monk hits well over 200k+ and can do it multiple times durring a x99 fight. He posts over 12k dps on 99.

Even as a Dragon monk I do over 7k on 99 and I don't even use quickening jolt, I use frenzied.

It is very, very simple to see what is caising the gap in DPS. Wether it is a bug or was orginally intended but now revisted once they realized it is just to hard to get a handle on DPS with it in it's current form is irrelivant. It is the right thing to do, the changes will allow them to have more refined control over the damge being done to raid mobs.

And IMO a post calling out our Class lead is in poor taste. You could have easily just posted "I have been trying to reproduce the 200k+ hits and the soloing of trash mobs in APW but have not been able to. Can anyone please post either logs, a video or screenshots of them doing it?"

There is no conspiracy theory happening here, these changes need to be made. Two monks should not be the same as having 4-6 other DPS classes.

In these games dating back to EQ its always the fast attacks that equal the most dps "Moss Covered Twig" anyone? Its easy to see that the mechanic could very well be broken especially with raid level buffs.

It seems that the damage everyone is getttng is based upon the buffs and skill combination and not just the skill. How about looking at the buffs and not the skills. If a monk cant pump out this type of damage alone, well then as they say "it takes two to tango"

It could be and probably is a buff stacking issues and its just easier to redesign the combat system than the buff system.

Sorry for posting it but ...
In EQ all monks community was nerfed (famous monk mitigation nerf) based on top 1% of monks. That was bad decision and for SoE took few years to revert it. SoE told to us - the nerf not going to affect most of monks, but those 1% of monks. In fact, biggest hit was for mid and low level monks. Top monks stay where they was before the nerf.
Now, in VG, I really really hope I'm not going to be nerfed based on input from 1% of monk community (not sure about numbers, may be we are talking about 5-10 monks total). I probably mid level monk ( we raid Entry wing in APW). I'm afraid after the nerf I'll move to middle of DPS table, where top geared monks will stay where they was before - at top. And yet again SoE will miss a target.
But of course it's just my assumptions.
Sorry again to be negative.
