Anyone have a breakdown of how stats play into the UAC pieces? Value of Str vs. Dex, etc?
I believe that I heard Strength + Agility were the contributing factor to your UAF. That is if I remember correctly.. I can test to verify by changing those stats later.
how does armored evasion (lowers AP) figure into the heavier armor wearing UAC?
Watching this thread is like watching an economic summit with all the detailed analytics flying around. Only in Gemstone, I like that.
Monks, Voln Review and Thrown Review, all at once?Quote:
Finros says, "1206 [telekenesis] is delayed for the time being. 1206 is tied into thrown stuff and hopefully won't take too long."

UAF = (Brawl rank * 2) + (CM rank / 2) + (STR bonus / 2) + (AGI bonus / 2) + (glove/boot enchant) + ((AVG held weapon enchant) / 2)Quote:

So if you held a +5 brawler in one hand and a +15 brawler in the other hand, your UAF would increase by 5 (average of 5 and 15 is 10, divided by 2 = 5). I'll double check this when I get the chance.
Thank you very much. Would be awesome if someone tossed that up on Krakii.Quote:

Anyone done any testing with 1202 from a scroll, or from a 1750 cast of it? Curious to see how the increase in AsG by level, and by transformation lore are modified for non-native minor mental castersQuote:

The lore part is what I was particularly interested in confirming/determining.
what happens if monks are holding 2 feras weapons? will it still flare on every hit? and does it shatter?
Yes and yes.Quote:

Anyone try using a splitter yet? I know there's a couple splitting brawlers out there.
Try them for what? A splitting weapon wouldn't be as useful to a monk as it would be to a warrior or paladin.Quote:

k, hopefully the last one then: What is the base roundtime for the UAC moves?Quote:

So, anyone still being a monk?
Yes, in D3.
Monk is ultra fun in normal/nightmare....then in hell/inferno it's kinda shitty.Quote:

My friend went full tank with his monk in inferno and filled all his sockets and magic items with +vitality. It seems to be working very well for him.Quote:

They're considering opening it up to more people during the second, but it almost definitely won't be open to everyone.Quote:

Well there's nothing more to say. They closed the beta to work on bugs and balance. If you have a specific question, I'd be more than happy to answer it.
How do magnets work?
You know how when a woman asks if these jeans make her butt look fat, and you know they do but you realize that she wants you to lie to her and say no? Magnets work just like that.Quote:

So once Monks are released will they shut off voln fu, or will that still be an option until they do the voln overhaul?
Voln fu will be gone, but it sounds like they're trying to release the voln overhaul at the same time as monks.

My wife was in the dressing room trying on some stuff, so I was being the good husband holding the bags and waiting while leaning on a rack. This woman was looking at herself in the mirror when she turned to me and said "Does this jacket make me look pregnant?"Quote:
