Well, hopefully they offer some bug fixes that are currently affecting us negatively when they fix the bug with Reed In the Wind. I am sure you could let Talisker know that another kick in the nuts is not appreciated if they don't at least offer to massage them a bit. Anyway, I really hope Monks are going to get looked at soon and we are not having smoke blown our way.
On a side not, are they planning on fixing any of the other classes evasion abilities that are not on a cooldown, or is it a Monk only thing?

Other classes can basically spam their buffs without stopping, so even like 6 Jin to make our self only buff last an hour seems only fair. And a reason to meditate when starting the day heh. I plain just dont use Iron Hands as it is, I just forgot more and more to use it and now its habbit.
If they dont sit down and just fix our problems I vote for a cage match against all the programmers against QTM. Give them a smackdown Q!

Not that I am calling for nerfs against another class but in my conversations I was using the ranger's ability to "chain parry" to argue either
a) Take the cool down off our dodge ability
b.) Level the playing field and give cool down timers to all auto evade skills

I really hope they don't change reed in the wind. It's pretty useful as it stands, but adding a refresh would make it nearly useless. Reed in the Wind is the only reason your going to offtank anything. Its challenging to work around the high endurance cost, the 13s duration (it is limited by global refresh so it's closer to 11s), and doing damage to keep agro.
A change to one of monk's few useful abilities before any fixes to our bugged/useless abilities would be a serious blunder.

I can only hope that we get the same "love" Paladins get. On Varking (PvP) we have learned to run from Paladins because ever since the last patch they can use their new bugged ability to one shot anyone in the game. Something to do with a calculation of 1/2 damage of something turned into 2 x damage something, so that they can hit for 7K in a single shot. This remains in game, still. I wish Shadow got Paldins so that we could repay the favor. A Paladin could single handidly take out 3 - 4 other players of equal level.

A week now and not a tiny little monk change on test yet, and the only word we hear is a nerf to an ability that rangers basically have without the nerf part?
Gettin a little disapointed as i level, im 23 now. Watched a guildie ranger solo , at 21 mind you, those 3 dot wolves in jin'ka forest without any downtime except to cast a heal. I try at 22 and had to feign all the tries i did. I have Kel'dakkar and tier 2-3 armor including rare pieces too.
What board can we go to and start bothering Brad to look close at us?

On Tharridon there was a broadcast telling Pallies not to use DoV in PvP.
Thread about the message
.
Personally I do not want to be boosted to Pally level. They are going to be nerfed, no single class should be that strong. I do not want to be raised to that standard, only to be nerfed at a later point. It always happens that way in MMOs. One class gets buffed into a god, then they get put in their place shortly thereafter. I just want to have all of our broken SNARF fixed, then see where we stand in relation to the other Offensive Fighters. And better communication between Dev <==> Community.

Yeah, it's been a week and still nothing?
I haven't played my Monk in a week and I do not plan to until some definite changes are made.
Oh and by definite change I am not talking about nerfing our only good defensive ability (reed in the wind)

Not to pester or annoy but it has been over a week now and maybe Talisker can stop over for a minute and say whats up. Nothin on test server, not a peep here either on any changes or fixes.
Talisker said some bugs easily fixed, maybe list a few of the big ones and just how easy they are, as in when will we get em? When do monks get an official pass and really look at our issues?
I have played all classes except Psi into the 20s and monk is by for the one with the most out and out broken, not working as intended, below what they are said even by Sigil should be.
Stances not workin at all<dragon regen stance and if not enough regen not worth usin anyway> FD still wack and cant feign pull <borrow eq1 code? heh> shuriken damage still broke, our dps lower then it should be since monks are suppose to be the highest in light but thats rangers right now <crank up auto attack damage maybe> and our mitigation was nerfed way too far back. Ok sorry i wrote longer then intended but I feel strongly monks need to be looked at now.
And lower soaring leap level into the 20s since rangers got sow lowered to 12 for fun

Yawn...more relief I halted my subscription and haven't logged in weeks. Losing the will to even bother checking the websites occasionally now. Insert generic monk angst here, etc etc.

The gave the people that put the builds together (patches) some rest.. and its well deserved too. I have a friend who works in game development.. crunch time is a nightmare.. and these guys are in 24/7 crunch right now.

hehe, i'll help do some coding for the monk, i think it'd be fun to learn how and who knows, maybe monks might be a tad bit uber after i get done with the code

My monk is in semi retirement until they fix alot of stuff. Not just a few cosmetic changes but real FIXES.
Such a shame as the monk was my first and main choice. @ lvl 24 I have the highest Monk in the guild. Others are 15 and below and are also not being played. Other monk is now only used as a tradeskiller. If this doesnt paint a picture for Sigil then nothing will. 110 members in the guild and they cant get any monks. Do the maths.

In my guild of around 100 active players, there are currently two active monks including myself.
Out of those two Monks, 0 of them are currently enjoying their class.
That should "paint the picture" for Sigil a little bit.
It's also fairly obvious we're of low priority because no one is playing them right now, which um, sucks?
