Thankfully Squenix realised that asuran fists would create a hell of a lot of mob tp build up, and so made the second monk AF set with the ability to reduce mob tp. As i'm a very long way away from even seeing this armor let alone having any, I have no idea as to the extent of the tp reduction, but hey, anything that allows for more asuran spam is good in my eyes

Though from what I hear, asuran isnt really a lvl up pt ws, as DDK is prefered for the light renkei...

Also to this date I have never even seen asuran fists lol, hopefully in the not too distant future I will get it myself. I just need to get to lvl 60 so the pt drought will hopefully clear up. ><;;

Asuran Fists is the best WS I've never seen.

I think there are perhaps 4 JP players on the whole of Asura with this WS and they certainly don't stand around in Valkurm showing off for us lowbies. ;_;

Dude, you want to see something cool? Get 4-6 monks to go after bloodtear, 100 fist to get TP then asuran fist that biatch.

[Khammet]

I got to see a level 70+ monk going after Roc. Lots of pretty Asuran Fists. Kept grabbin' hate off the 2 ninjas, made me proud.

bard get.........
















































NONE

[Onorgul]

Bards are everyone's best friend, though.

Would be nice if they had even one active ability, some Bardy version of Divine/Elemental Seal, perhaps.

level 15 brd skill, "One Hit Wonder"

Laughed so hard at that I almost choked myself.

The idea has promise though. Maybe instead of singing two songs, for a limited time-period, you could sing one song at double effectiveness?

[Nohmaan]

well maybe not that so much as a bard "divine seal" where the enxt song is just superfied.

[Plashkabno]

Destrac, yes I have done the same thing with Raging fists, where It hit for 40% and a crap load of damage. Mostly it hits for 29%, but the 3 times I have hit for 1k+ damage it went for 34% tp back.

nooooo, then i wont be able to say i got no skills anymore!

but on topic, monks have all the abilities they need, any more and they would be kinda all powerful fist and foot hitting things hard machines of doomy doom.

[Onorgul]

And yet they're adding a new one...

I kinda agree that we have a lot of nice abilities, but they've very selfish abilities. Nothing we do benefits anyone beyond ourselves. Which is a classic style Monk, video-game-wise, but as we have few skills that directly benefit a party beyond hitting hard and not dying, it doesn't seem so bad that we get a little stacked in that respect. Still, I'm not about to trade a single one of them in because each and every one is what makes Monk such an amazing class, albeit a bit of a dark horse.

[strangelove]

yeah, thats why i like it.

[Penguination]

Shadowhawk :
Why cant the ps2 guys be whm's or rdm's

will be a lot easier to get a party together for us low lvls on the pc lol

because noob mages= death of vana'diel

OMG I SAID VANADIEL, THE MOST UNUSED WORD IN FFXI!!!

[strangelove]

i thought happy was the most unused word?

[Onorgul]

Most jobs have all their abilities by level 50. Monk is a weird one because we get Kick at 51. If (when) they raise the level cap, I can conceivably see more JA and JT added to various jobs, but it would be a very careful balancing act.

And... Vana'who? ^_~

[Dolas]

i would like to say im sorry and that i was completly wrong i was just wonderin....heh..i now see how cool monks are now that im at a much higher lv

[Onorgul]

Everyone makes a newbie mistake from time to time. At first, it does seem like two hour abilities are gimped, until you realize that they are panic buttons, not abilities to be used at whim (except for Call Wyvern which isn't a panic button at all).

Out of interest, what level have you achieved so far? I assure you, it just keeps getting better.
