It's been forever since I was a monk, but don't they have a power ability to boost their momentum once? 5p if I recall correctly.

Indeed. I've played every broken class/guild there is: Nihilist, Moondancer, Celestine, Aquamancer, Blacktalon, Cantor, Tahtetso, etc. People who don't fight like you have cried foul each and every time!

Don't ask me, they hadn't implemented momentum yet when I was a monk.

Couldn't you technically do an attack that takes momentum and in the same combo one that raises momentum?

I also want to point out that if you have concerns about monks, the envoys are still working on a monk special report to address them all, so please send them in!

Boost allows you to access the ka bonus 1 or 2 levels highers (5p and 10p). This, however, doesn't actually boost your momentum. For example, if I have L3 momentum, use 10p to boost to L5, my next attack drops me to L2 momentum if it consumes momentum instead of L4 like it would if I had L5 without boosting.

And I have to use the power and boost to use the instant kill so I'm not using it beforehand. It's actually required since L5 momentum ka cap is 1000ka and instant kill is 1500ka.

You can, and this has been reported. It's not as effective as you might think because it's a two-handed attack with a high ka cost. It's possible though and works better for some guilds than other. Specifically, you need a super kick to really whore this out (see Shofangi, who can build/buck, build/buck, etc). In the case of Tahtetso, we can't do much using this combo.

message ethelon Idea for special report: deletion.

Really frustrating that the admin are dumping so much time even after the massive overhaul for this one archetype.



Okay, so a mangle+boost to 5 again+mangle is actually possible? I realize you'd be at lvl3 momentum at that point, though.

It's possible. Of course I'd have to attack you twice in a row with attacks that don't cost momentum to build back to L5 (which generally aren't all that special) to capitalize on it at which point you could have cured both.

I tank your damage the same way you tank mine.

Here are some double regen cure hits which come back to back. Double kneecap + mangles.

Pah nevermind it just left the buffer. But I'll take some snippets in the colour log of double regeneration-cure afflictions to legs followed by mangles, which are back to back.

Btw something I noticed in the log, completely unrelated:

ROFL. I got owned by rune of absorption.

This sort of comment helps nothing.

If you have constructive comments (not "OVERPOWERED"), send them to an envoy.

I don't feel adjusting skills per player consensus (envoys) is a waste of time. Imagine where we'd be if we still had all the issues of Day 1!

I never double mangle back to back. I always mangle, hemipledgy, mangle, etc.

Ah, I see, interesting. Need to talk with Synl to get Nekotai something like that. *g* Thanks for clearing that up!

Nekotai have plenty. I'd wager I'd be nastier as a Nekotai or Shofangi than I am as a Tahtetso (consider yourself lucky, Magnagora!). I'd be slit locking and mangle whoring like nothing else. Tahtetso just don't get that sort of fire power *g*

I was pretty sure speed maxed out at 115, since that is when the shofa attack outpaces my kick, just barely.

I also want that Shofangi skill that instantly destroys stonewalls

You double kneecap, and then follow up with the mangles. Kneecaps still take regeneration to cure.

Admin should remove wounding requirements for warrior afflictions and give them momentum instead. -G- Oh the bitching...

I believe this was a bug, and it was fixed. My kicks always keep up with my tahto regardless of its speed. Nejii knows the details, I think.

Hrm. The kneecap affliction is dependent on wounds. In any case, I'm fairly certain Roark changed regeneration to cure mangles before kneecaps because this was also an issue with Shofangi.

I'll trade you for a viable instakill.
