OMG ka costs have gone through the roof come on. kata stun should only cost 100 ka!! not 175 thats a pain in the ass waste of ka. Seriously who botched this. My alt is not trans kata and cant even use 1 mod on his ppk. whats up with this. That is seriously screwing new monk players hard.

Good.

Syntax: KA RAZE
Kata: Action
Ka Weight: 250

Is honestly a little less than my max ka.

Complaints from both directions....


that settles it. Its perfectly balanced!

Yeah, removing PPK was annoying. Well, we'll just wait for shofangi and tahtetso to be balanced out and it should improve. Newbie combatants from any guild can't do much.

Man, pinleg never works.

Ka costs were raised for people who did nothing but PPK for fighting players. Some of them may be a little high. But before you could add every mod to a kata in a PPK combo. You just have to now choose wisely. Also PPK has not changed for bashing, only for PvP. Like I said some of the costs may be high, but they started higher and can be balanced appropriately from what we understand. If they seem to much.

A stand alone raze is just that STAND ALONE

which is why it costs so much ka you dont add anything to it. you can't put it into a combo, it is stand alone.

it is there so you do not have to kata perform raze1 raze1 @target just to raze them. You can ka raze @target, ka raze @target and when you get both arm balances back go into a form.

so you gave ppk an unusable raze skill and raised the cost of everything.

no it was given a stand alone raze skill, and the cost of all the mods were raised due to the outcry of the PPK abuse. Now you cant have every effin mod on a punch punch kick attack. deal with it.

So since they made stun and break more expensive, did they also make them more likely to fire, or was this just a 'screw you' to monks?

It was a 'screw you' as a result of all the complaining about ppk.

It seems like we nerfed unarmed strikes because of a bug that wasn't fixed. Was a punch-punch-kick combo considered too powerful even without the bugged breaknose stun?

Pinleg is OP!

Your kata is now alot harder to break. Imagine that WITH retarded stun. No thanks.

Yes, but the idea should have been fix the retarded (and universally recognized as broken) stun. Or so I would have thought.

By "fix" you mean "remove," right? Use stun mod and comment out break mod. Stun isn't so horrible.

Regular stun was a -lot- easier to deal with than the retarded stun though.

There was a valid reason for these changes but I don't remember what it was right now. (Wasn't my idea either.)

Name one other arch-type that cant actually use its skills once they get them.

Glamours bards, non-runic druids, and crow/stag warriors.

Wait, you only asked for one.

EDIT: Ok, that wasn't entirely true. Narrowed it down.

EDITEDIT: Why the hatin' on communes? Hmph. Nerf cities.

Crow Ebonguard.

The whole "I can't get a runed totem which I need to use half of my Crow skills!" issue is kind of icky. And this is a specialization, not a base skillset, too!

Glamours bards, non-runic druids, and crow/stag warriors.
Well i'm a glamours bard and i've never not been able to use my skills they might not have been effective but i could actually use them. not a crow/stag warrior but i bet they can use their skills if they really wanted to.
