"Takuhatsu gasa" is the pointy, straw looking hat.

Another thing to add to a wish list (other than obviously fixing many of the glaring problems with Monks in general) :

-Aums specific to each stye that plays on the strengths of that style.
-Secrets specific to each style.

I also agree with other posters in that our animations need a lot of work. There are many resources to pull ideas from, lets see some cool moves. But after abilities and stuff are fixed 

Re-posted:

I'd really like to see a bonus on Storm Dragon stance (or hell, whatever stance in Dragon Style, make a new one!  Tongue) give an additional 15-20% damage on crits.  I don't think this would be too extreme.....

A 1000 damage crit normally would only be boosted to about 1200 damage.  That would help DPS over the course of a battle and not be significantly overpowering or anything.  Hell even 30% I don't think would be too overpowering, as Dragon monks need DPS, because that's what we're specced to do.

What do other people think?

Id like to see a Bind Wounds Skill ala EQ1 for the monk class.  Perhaps make it scale based on what style you choose.

This would be something akin to Drunken best > Harmonious> Dragon, as long as Sigil revamps the monk DPS such that
Dragon>Harmonius>Drunken > all offensive fighters except stealthed backstabbing rogues.

yeah, a lot of the reuse timers need to be rethought. I'll be updating the concerns list soon as I am preparing an update to the main list now anywho.

I also think one of the reasons we (at least us Dragon monks) are bad at PVP are because we have no root/snare/stun (out of combat) or any root/snare breakers.  If we get rooted we are pretty much screwed.  Storm Stride lets you get about 1 attack in before the opponent is already far away again and kiting you.  I would love to see some kind of ability that if you get snared and then you storm stride it stuns them or slows them.  I would really just love to see us get some kind of root.  It seems like every other class but us gets a root, stun, silence, invis, etc.  This is one of the true reasons we are bad at PVP. 

The game needs classes that can actually cure crowd control abilities. Then group PvP would be more than the joke that it is now. But I would not expect any PvP changes anytime soon. The only reason the DoT thing getting fixed was that they broke it in one of the early patches and DoTs simply did nothing at all until now.

Allow Nerve Strike to be used with Stormstride! 
And let nerve strike be used in combat and turn off melee when used.
Umm, lower the level req for soaring leap to like the 20s!

Just all around monk pass and love for a week or two
