New Update

so we get nothing from 90-95 not a ja or trait nothing ??

I'll make 2 points here that you would have probably seen if you'd looked through this topic first:

1) MNK is pretty strong enough as it is.
2) Updates in the past have had 2 parts of information so be patient.

A triple negative. /slowclap

Weapon skill:

Octa Kick (MNK lv. 95): Delivers an 8 hit kicking attack that doubles base weapon damage and summons a meteor to destroy enemy.

/em waits for someone to believe this.

I'm still waiting for Suplex.

God that game is horrible.

Adrenal Rush (MNK lv. 95): Grants a bonus to Perfect Counter


possibly a Seigan for MNKs?

What the hell is their level, that's some high HP for only being at the train.

Looks like no new abilities - 17 jobs had new abilities listed there. But, at the same time, no traits were listed, so will probably be included in that.

Or something.

And this.

Why are so many monks even expecting something? do mnks have 18 JAs currently to warrant the expectation of "getting" something? Mages get spells every level or few levels. Mnks still have more JA then a lot of jobs already...... Lots of cool stuff is coming and for some jobs that actually need it. Just be happy ffs.

Probably get some random job trait tiered up.

I'd also say there are usually 2 parts to an update like this.. but it covered most jobs so probably not.

i wish monk would get a 5 yalm knockback ws with shoulder tackle animation <.<

All of a sudden

You're welcome

The reason mnks never got that would because it would be mighty fun at fafnir

Leonine Legflail goooo

what's an fafnir

Only the greatest time waster ever devised by se

There was other stuff to do qq

You havent been playing monk long enough if you didnt see this coming.

We've been given:
Footwork - meh
Perfect counter - not bad
Impetus - our first offensive JA, its great.

New traits:
Tactical guard - . . .
Skillchain bonus - . . .x2

And all of this just recently, monk has been fine through out the years before, its clear SE got the job right the first time and any buffs they give us, they feel could break the "role" of the job so if anything theyve just been tweaking small things about it.

Im shocked we even got Impetus tbh, although it not being a static value just goes to show that even a slight increase like that unbalances the monk job vs what they think should be heavier damage dealers perhaps.

If we got another offensive JA like impetus toward 99 that would be great, but Im not holding my breathe, our previous history of updates keeps me skeptical.

I think you're just butthurt that blu can't suplex a train.

Regurgitation *appears* to inflict a knockback effect and does more damage from behind. Cue hilarity at pretty much any NM with a flail move as people who don't know that it's just an animation freak out thinking the movement might trigger a flail.
