If you could check and see what the dodge value is on the tool tip it would help me find out if the ability was cloned and not updated. If the 2 have the same tool tips i'll add it to the list.

I think you have some decent suggestions but this one doesn't quite make sense to me. What's the logic behind asking for Monks to have an added constitution benefit over all other offensive fighters? You said something about Monks are the only ones besides Rogues who have to melee. Are you saying Bards and Rangers don't melee? And even if true, what does that have to do with HPs since in most groups, none of them will be tanking anyway? This logic makes perfect sense for defensive fighters because tanking is what they're supposed to do. From an offensive fighter perspective though, I suppose I just don't see what Monks do as primarily a DPS class that warrants a decided advantage in HPs over the other classes in our archetype.

Perhaps if Monks are officially deemed as the only offensive fighter class designed to be an off-tank this *might* make sense, but I don't know if that's currently true or not. You could certainly make the case that a Drunken could fill this role but again, this is very specialized. So much so that I don't think it would be fair to the other offensive classes nor to non-Drunken monks. If it were to happen, I suspect we'd see quite a few min/maxers switch their styles to drunken to gain the added HP benefit, which would subsequently create an player imbalance within our own class.

In these games, HPs are everything (especially in the raiding game). Any min/maxer out there will tell you that even the slightest advantage in this category is almost always worth the trouble of obtaining it.

Currently, there is an evasion penalty while dual wielding showing on the off-hand tooltip. This penalty at level 36 is anywhere from 6.45% to 6.75% depending on which weapons are equipped. Now this doesn't update the Defense tooltip or the evasion on the Dexterity tooltip. It would be nice to know if it is being applied or not, and removed if not. If it is being applied, it should be updating the Defense tooltip. I also think that there should be no penalty for dual wielding handwraps, or other Hand to Hand weapons. 6%+ is an unreal amount to lose after the 'avoidance nerf' as that is almost everything that I currently get from Dexterity. Why would I EVER want to dual wield Hand to Hand weapons then? They already give minimal if no dps increase, even having same level rare weapons, even the stats aren't worth the minimal dps increase (if there is any) and the evasion penalty.

Thanks for the clarification. I see what you're saying, but I'm still not sure an added constitution benefit is the right solution though. If the problem is evasion, or more specifically for Monks our perceived lack of it, then the answer should be to modify our defensive stats to adjust accordingly and boost our overall avoidance. As most MMO vets know, avoidance is a tricky mechanic to balance correctly and almost always takes several iterations to get right. Being a "soft" mechanic means you simply cannot pinpoint how effective it is or needs to be at any one point in time.

On the other hand, HPs are absolute and extend far beyond just one mechanic like avoidance. For instance, an added HP benefit through constitution would ultimately give monks a decisive edge over other offensive classes against AE spells, something that has no ties to melee evasion at all. Again, I see an imbalance there that favors Monks for no real solid reason other than, just because.

Please understand that I don't mean to single you out or anything. I'm sure all of my ideas above have holes in them as well. My take is that it's easy for us as a community to simply compile a litany of requests that we want for our class. It's our responsibility though to ensure they are reasonable, well thought out and are prioritized. I'm not saying your ideas aren't any of this. I'm just stating that we need to be careful in what we wish for because regardless of any changes that Monks get, rest assured other classes are taking notes and looking for similar changes to their own class. And they're usually looking to one up ya in the process.

ability: Sundering Dragon's Claw (or something like that, learned at level 42 i believe)
tooltip on this skill says it's a finisher but is actually an adv. finisher. it's also supposed to be a dot for 800-900dmg or something, but does nothing.

as someone mentioned before, storm dragon should stack with secrets otherwise secrets (except celerity) are useless. and also seeing all the buffs last for more than 20seconds would be nice. secret of transcendence lasts for 1minute rather than the 20seconds as the tooltip says.

general issue with the game itself which would help monks would be, when being off the ground too long while having agro, the mob will teleport right onto you. i'm sure any 34+ monks know what i'm talking about. this gets incredibly irritating when you're just jumping thru a zone and a mob decides to agro you, and won't stop hitting you because you're using soaring leap to go faster unless you fd. (i should mention to any monks who aren't lv34 yet, monks are probably the fastest class in the game at the moment from my own experience so far and if you have soaring leap and dont use it often because of that endurance cost, Aum Ti at lv40 will solve that for the most part)

Updated the main list

Added

• Bug - Foolhardy Swagger II is a cloned version of I version down to tooltip.
• Concern- DW Evasion Penalty post evasion adjustment
• Issue: Storm Dragon Stance / Magnificant Storm Dragon: The style is listed as adding lightning damage in return for draining 1 jin every 4 seconds (think its 6 seconds on magnificant, cant log in to check atm) Jin currently isnt being lost, however the damage add on lightning is also very small, The style needs to add a lot more lightning damage and add the jin drain, OR take off the jin drain from tool tip and improve the damage just a bit.
• Bug Sundering Dragon's Claw (or something like that, learned at level 42 i believe) tooltip on this skill says it's a finisher but is actually an adv. finisher. it's also supposed to be a dot for 800-900dmg or something, but does nothing. (Need more info)
• Bug: Aum Ti, level 40, says it's supposed to grant Parry and 20% cost reduction.  The parry bonus works but abilities still cost the same amount whether this is up or not.

Removed

• PVP FD issue as its working as designed

*DOH* Late for my meeting *Shakes fist in the air* KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

not sure if skill is meant to be a finisher. the skill becomes activated after a finisher so it should be a "dragon mastery adv. finisher"? also, the skill itself doesn't work at all. there is no dot, or initial hit damage.
