- Disciple, Monk - Monk and Disciples unarmed damage is treated like a weapon. The unarmed rarity levels have been adjusted to: below level 10 mundane, level 10-19 common, level 20-39 uncommon, level 40-49 rare and level 50 rare+. Rare+ is between rare and ultra-rare strength.
- Disciple, Monk - Monk and Disciple unarmed damage is no longer the equivalent of a weapon with maxed out damage of the corresponding rarity level. It is now more akin to actual item damage progression.
- Monk - Monk base damage has been slightly increased

sounds to me, unless i am reading it wrong, that we get screwed again.  In there path to make weapons viable for monks, instead of making our skills utilize them they just lowered our bare hand damage.  I hope I am just reading this wrong but it is what it sounds like tome.

Well if I am reading this correctly ... they increased BASE dmg SLIGHTLY ... means we will probably see 10 or 20 more dmg per hit.  It also sounds like they nerfed down bare hand damage so that it becomes more viable for a monk to chose a weapon over bare hands.... in essense lowering our dps because our skills dont really take into account weapons.

The unarmed rarity levels do look like they're from a previous patch, however there is a change, I think? I believe it used to be <10 mundane, 10-19 common, 20-29 uncommon, 30-39 rare, 40-49 rare+, and 50 was an ultra rare. It seems they've removed the whole 30-39 bracket's rarity change, taking an entire rarity level off the top half of the ladder. Hopefully more changes make their way into the notes, if not then it looks like we get some more quality time with the Vision and his rather violent affections. A "slight" base damage increase just sounds like a couple painkillers. They'll help a little but a couple only go so far!

Well yes, that is very close to the old beta notes. It does seem that they moved everything down one level though, effectively making our hands slighty worse.  However that was not the concern I had really it was more this part....

Im not sure I understand this part correctly but it sounds like they actually lowered the damage bare fists itself. While they increased our BASE dmg SLIGHTLY.  Effectivly if I am reading this correct... The lowered dmg of bare fists and lowering the rarity dmg of bare fists will lower are overall damage that I am use to seeing using bare fist.  The slight increase to BASE damage will bring our damage back up some, meaning this will be a complete wash and we will be no better off then we were before.  Actually may even be worse off using bare fists but maby slightly better off using weapons now, IF they are GOOD weapons.  Which is something I definately did not want, was a nerf to bare fists to make weapons viable.  However, I could be interpreting this all wrong because I really am not sure I understand what that part of the patch notes really means.

hmm I bugged the adder hand harmonious issue several times, it appears that they are actually reading those specific bug reports
