Monk Cmans

[Kenn]

I've been trying to figure out what cmans I want for my monk, but I'm having trouble deciding. Right now I'm thinking of: mobility, emastery, surge, burst, perfect self, punch mastery, kick mastery and inner harmony. I'm just wondering what everyone else is going for.

I think any monk build should include rolling krynch stance for offensive purposes, even if you have another defensive stance (one or both of the spell related ones) in your rotation.

[Nilandia]

Currently, I have 2 ranks of mobility, 3 ranks of emastery, 2 of slippery mind and 1 of rolling krynch. I plan on getting all three of slippery mind, iharmony and rolling krynch. The idea is to use iharmony for emergencies, then keep slippery mind or rolling krynch up depending on what I'm hunting. Past that, I'm not sure.

Hmmm. So no one else is going for perfect self?

Perfect self might be something to shoot for with your last 50 CM ranks, but I'd say there are more important CMs to learn first.

[Aluvius]

Yeah Perfect Self is just so nice it'll be hard not to grab it, but the pre requisites are a bit steep and I don't really care to manage Burst and Surge. So it'll be the last one I go for if I pick it up. I'm swapping over to dwarf and thinking of going with Crowd Press since I'll have to be knocking down stuff to hit their heads mostly anyway. 3 ranks of it gave +18 UAF to my elf and it helps with aiming plus keeps critters from standing up. Unfortunately it is expensive to use and also keeps you from moving heh.

Perfect self has some appeal to those that won't be going the sunfist route as a way to benefit from unused stamina. With 3 ranks of burst/surge as the pre-reqs you can simply keep up one of the two cmans by alternating activation as this will never charge you the cooldown cost. 90 seconds uptime with a 3 minute recovery period on each. Can't decide if I'll be going for it first or not however. Probably depends if someone writes a script for maintaining burst/surge pattern that I can mooch or if I muddle my way through and try to write my own.

It really wouldn't take much to download surge and modify it to start with one or the other and then pop the second one when the first drops. That said, so far I've been able to do pretty well just using burst, even when on CD.

Only been using it at low levels so far, but cpress is a lot of fun at the moment. At rank 2 it adds 12 to my uaf 80% of the time like level, before the defensive bonuses come in.
