logs from Monk beta testing

I'm doing a lot better in camps at 35 than I was doing at 16, that's for sure. Krynch stance is perfect for camping a room and letting them come to you. If you're lucky, you can chain together 4 or 5 tier three attacks, which are mostly fatal if you hit the right spots. My DS issues are also slowly going away, so that's good too.

Care to post a log? Also, i'm sure this has been explained elsewhere, but do monks eat too much of a penalty to make use of shields? Even bucklers? Seems a 10x buckler would go a long ways towards solving some defensive issues.

Zzentar what level is your monk?

I'm so glad you all get to see how awesome this system is. It's a shame you couldn't see the unfinished version from a year or so ago. Now THAT was a sight to behold.

This new one holds a good deal of balance though, which is good for the prosperity of the game.

mine is 24, step 6 on GoS.

Which, if any, of the new CMans are available to the other squares/semis?

Rogues get two stances. Slippery Mind and Predator's Eye.

Arguably better than getting the choice of 10 stances. You can pick one and have it up all the time.

I just want to say, after reading all the posts here and on the officials regarding monks, mechanics, and what people are doing with them... you people suck at thinking outside the box.

I'm so going to break this system when it's released.

Haven't gone up in levels as high as others, but haven't fared well in swarms at all. I suspect I'll do better once I get more ranks in krynch stance.
