Yea overall its hardly a nerf at all.
I'm a Monk that plays with two others that are Crusaders sometimes.
That being said I'm very excited about the updates to Monk in this patch.

Sounds like WD may have just taken that crown.
Can't wait to reroll some items for crit dmg and try this out with my +91% Jeram.

I can't spend time to play right now but I popped in game for a minute to check and I think all my pets were doing significantly more.

Is it me is or WD Haunt kinda a no brainer to have now, i just feel for the damage it can put out along with certain runes for 50 mana is kinda insane. I'm really not so sure i like this change despite maining a WD, it just seems a bit to much of a buff IMO.
With my mask (Quetzalcoatl), this skill will be just crazy.

Oh yes, I will be using it for sure. I have some extra + % cold damage, too. GG.

"Monks are working as intended and Dashing Strike is perfectly balanced."
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
My frenzy is critting for almost 4 mil at 5 stacks (using the dmg increase rune as it's fire and I'm fire). Feels weird in a cool way.
So wait, they reduce the cooldown of Steed charge (cool) but nerf the duration to 1.5 seconds? Ugh.
The damage reduction is cool. Sucks that the DH buffs are so minor. I guess I'll have to try out Evasive fire and Hungering arrow again. Been using entangling shot or grenades for ages.

It seems like it isn't even a comparison right now. I'm not sure what blizzard was thinking with the overall damage output of the Wizard. They just melt everything and almost break the dynamic of grouping. Running t2 on my monk the majority of the players that join are Wizards who just face roll everything while most other classes stick to T1 because they can't withstand the damage spike.
It's still mathematically more uptime. It also makes it more useful for control escape, from jail and walls, and so on.
I don't think it's great, but it's definitely better than it was.
With a smaller radius, it is probably less likely to hit a target 3x, no?
Now to start working on a Fissure build. I just need to find a Darklight (drop fissures for more fissures, man that + charged up is going to be fun)
By the way this shouldn't happen. Guessing smart loot isn't so smart.
Damn that sucks, I lucked out on mine having good rolls on mine (could be higher rolls, but all the stats I want are there).I was so happy I got my first TG's Vigor.
I was so happy.
Until I realized I was a Crusader.

If it is the entire time I will be going Ray of Frost with my Light of Grace (RoF pierces unique). It already "ticks" in damage for 9-12M with Cold Blooded.

The other day i was rifting on T1 with 2 wiz and 1 wd and they just melted everything. Elites dead in 5 seconds.
I was doing nothing, NOTHING, just walking around trying to hit something. Very frustrating and needless to say i was playing on a crusader.
i see this sentence ALL the time. smart loot does not work 100% of the time. an item drops and a dice rolls that determines if smart loot will apply or not. it works about 70% of the time.

I wouldn't go THAT far, but it definitely is not working as intended.
That's pretty much how it is lower T level any decent character melts everything but on higher torment..as a monk I'm basically buffing the heavy hitter demon hunter and wizards attacks with exploding palm and inner sanctuary. The DPS difference is ridiculous on top of being a large area of attack..and they can just stay far away from the actual fight.
Probably. The T3 issue was a little lax in kill speed coupled with taking too much damage for my sustain at the time so it had a few unnecessary deaths which slowed the run down. Granted, I've since added like 2k Armor / 300 AR so I might have fixed the problem already.
What's your build? Gear level compared to them? I group pretty regularly with basically every class and I never feel useless. My damage is pretty good all things considered. The problem is it's all burst. Once I unload Condemn and FoH's, I'm doing little compared to the Wizards or WD or DHs. But that initial burst? Probably higher than theirs (if I preload the Condemn, it's ~65M Average Damage in the ~1.5s it takes to triple FoH). The Crusader problem is the time to refill after a full wrath dump is too long.
Honestly, Heavenly Strength just needs to steal the Spirit Generation passive that 2H Monks get from The Guardian's Path. Or make Provoke a bit better / Zealous Glare partially built into Shield Glare. Going to test how I feel with a 1H build but from what I did yesterday, I have too much Wrath.
No, he's saying it IS intended. This is how it works. Blizz intends for there to be a chance for smart roll to apply or not. Not every piece you get is smart rolled nor is it supposed to be.
no kidding. Im gonna be crafting lots of stuff tonight
Yup, this was my biggest beef with gems and their cost. Pretty happy with that.

You got a source on that? Seems completely ridiculous.
they're definitely worth it. i stay max wrath with them, and i have a pretty amazing roll that i'm dropping souls on for fire damage for my dh.

No mention of the Shield Bash desynch issue. Basically if you used Shield Bash while Jailed, you'd desynch and have to quit and pop back in, losing your bounty progress. Any US folks know if this has been fixed? Not using the skill until it is, for sure.
Can you just kill him in adventure mode for the craft item if you have the plans already?
Also if you are going to use the new Fissure is it pretty much a a sure thing that you need to be stacking + lightninig%? or is the damage so insane that it will out perform the holy rune anyway?
