Slippery mind?

[Gelston]

Yeah, I liked it on my monk. Impossible to know how many times it has saved me from getting wtfpwned.

Yeah, slippery mind is a pain in my ass in warcamps. It's a shame it's a martial stance, though -- I'd love to use it with my monk, but wouldn't want to give up flurry (or krynch, whatever floats your boat).

It's a lot more palatable to swap to slippery instead of the offensive cmans at later levels now since mstrike was fixed for them (kifocus can help here as well. anything to avoid base tier up only life). I still say a great monk ability would be to run multiple martial stances. Fits with them lore wise being all disciplined and shit and it's still a sizable opportunity cost of an already strapped cman investment for them.
