UAC build using CPress

[Sile]

Ok got tired of trying out mutants, figured I wanted to get the most out of what a monk should be good at. Decided to go full UAC with Cpress. Cpress adds 30 to your UAF, which in turn helps tiering up faster through higher end rolls, and more damage in the end.

Also using a simple script that looks for tier ups and uses the correct UAC, also for punches it always aims for an eye, kicks always for a head, once at top tier, I'm just punching eyes.

Seems to be the fastest way I figured to kill critters with UAC.

25 stamina a pop though, which sucks.

[EDubbs]

That's neat. Minotaurs use a lot of big weapons, and charging attacks, so crowd press is a great disabler for them. Too bad it is 25 stamina a pop. There are probably more critters this tactic is useful against. It's a shame crowd press doesn't do more too. It would be nice if rank 5 gave a bonus to FoF, like if you were teamed up on, and you were crowd pressing one critter, and using him as a shield against another critter.

Any chance you'll share your script?

Someone else made the script, I found it here on the boards I think. I altered it a little.

Is it 25 a pop with Mind Over Body running?

[Sile]

20 with mind over body, not that bad considering the bonus lasts untill the target is dead or they maneuver away. 20 stamina for 30 as on 4-5 swings sounds good to me.

I used CPress a lot when i was dual wielding sais still and it does do several other things. If something is knocked down they can't stand up while press is active, which is nice (i would knock one down, press it, then kill a second critter as normal with the first stuck down) but the absolute best part of it if you're not using a shield is that it neuters bolt AS of the pressed target. Don't have numbers handy but it was something like 300 down to 70.

That is cool ... especially for TWC users with low bolt AS.

That is really cool.
