patch notes contained:
- Monks and Disciples - Monk unarmed critical hit bonus now matches that of light weapons. The disciple critical hit bonus when unarmed was only slightly decreased.
- The critical hit weapon bonus on fast weapons has been reduced to 5%. The same rules apply for dual wielding giving you 2.5% critical hit bonus from the off-hand.
Ouch?

Yeah last night I tried soloing some even con 2 dot turtles. Killed about 2 or 3 (took MUCH longer than normal) then had to sit around and wait for my HP to regen (They nerfed that, too.) I'm pretty disappointed with these nerfs. I can understand the devs wanting people to use food more, but now it is nearly impossible to solo effectively unless you have a huge stockpile of meal.

Personally, crits did need to be turned down. There were times when I would get 5 or 6 crits in a row including 2 or 3 epic crits. I hope it is not as bad as people are saying, because I tend to solo a lot. And in the same patch as the 'require food' nerf. :\ Top it off, I think I am in the middle of nowhere. So I will have to run to go get my food.
Anyone know if one of the crafting skills opens up into cooking? I am finding a lot of things to cook. Heh.

I can't solo anymore at all. The downtime is just so bad and mobs seem to be hitting me harder now for some reason.  |

I can understand the need to lower the crit rate but I think the amount was a touch much going form 10%/5% before patch to 5%/2.5% right now I dont feel my base damage is superior to that of the other offensive fighters. Which according to the devs is where it should be.
The knee jerk reaction to crit dmg seems a little extreme. perhaps if they went down to 7.5%/3.25% would be better. As it is now I am just not happy with it. Looks like all monks are now forced to cookie cutter themselves to all dex builds. So much for different builds

Actually Ample is worse that you think.
Prior to the patch yesterday unarmed crit rate was 15%/7.5%, which was also moved down to 5%/2.5%.
That is a drastic nerf. I also had a noticeable increase in misses.
I ended up logging off my Monk when my shaman's wolf pet pulled agro from me while duoing. (wolf pets dont have taunt so it was all damage)

i've always found that my disciple seemed to do more dps than my monk. both are 12, and i swear the disc kill faster, not to mention the fact that i can fight 4 mobs (2dot whites/yellows) at a time and never feel "in danger". i'm trying to have faith in the monk, and i don't feel the disc needs to be nerfed, quite the contrary... MONKS NEED A BUFF!! dps class indeed.  |
