QTM -

Could you ask the devs to tweak our Dragon Stance abit.
Given its current rate of regen its not really that viable when in combat, its best use is out of combat regen.
At lvl29 it takes me awhile to regen my HP pool even when eating food - which by the way doesn't display the food hp regen only the Stance regen when you do both at the sametime.

I'm working on my hound quest and when i battle the 3dot lvl29-30 mobs each mob is a battle.  I must sit down meditate/Stance regen hp.  This takes a good minute or two.

My suggestion is that the current regen rate remain when we are in combat or FD'd - if there is a balance concern.
But for the love of a poor monks sanity double or triple the regen rate when we are out of combat and sitting.  This would really make this stance have strong utility and give us Dragon monks some love when soloing.

Thanks for any help you can provide in seeing this getting looked at.

Or make food work while you meditate. Alt+tab is your friend when soloing on a monk.

Yeah I hear ya on that.

I dont see a bump in the regen happening (I'll ask anywho)

I was rummaging through some older notes and I found a note about making making meditiation more mystical. So there maybe something work with there.

How about having it replicate level-appropriate green food when meditiation is gained.
Since you can easily remove the energy component (;p) from the food, it wont be that overpowering!

QTM,

I just dinged 30, woot me, and was hoping for a nice boost in Dragon stance regen, I got like a 2 point increase.
So now I'm doing  41per tick up from 39.  And this is when we get our new stances, seems very light on the upgrade.

What my request was is that if they don't want to bump the regen to something viable when we are in combat or not, then at the very least boost it when we are Out of Combat and sitting, this could be with or without meditating.

This gives this stance a much stronger utility.  Currently it's lackluster and begs the question of what is the purpose of this stance.  Again, they don't have to boost it for when we are in combat or FD'd, Out of Combat and sitting, just like when we eat food is a fine mechanic and I don't think would make us overpowered.

Everyone solo's at somepoint, its unavoidable, and it's not like I'm tearing through 3dot mobs same level so I don't see why the devs would be so stingy in giving us some utility.
Now if the Devs are thinking that we are fine where we are at with our DPS, they must be thinking every monk is running around in superior gear with legendary weapons.  I have 50% superior gear and use superior weapons, hand wraps and martial blade, all raised to full specialization and still have to be on my toe's fighting 3dot mobs of same level.

If they like to see us monks challenged in this nature, fine, I'm ok with it, but at least they can throw us a bone and make our out-of-combat regen faster.

I challenge the devs to play a dragon monk and do the full shadow hound quest starting at lvl 25 using blue gear and superior weapons, I would bet cold hard cash that poor dev would be using his god powers to modify somethings in short order.

Nicely stated QTM, im 44 and have mederately good gear, and a out of combat regen increase to stance would be a great utility, would make staying in that stance worth while.
