Seriously, how was there not a thread for this yet? Because the thing is great, I love it, thanks admin.
Though personally I think it would thematically fit better into Combat, but I guess more people would probably have higher Discipline then Combat, so cool.
Straight to shielding, weeee. <3
After checking how long it lasts, you appear to have 15 seconds after the killing blow to hit something else.

Now to eliminate mob shielding altogether... Not that it gives me any trouble as a monk. 
Anyhoo I can't wait to try it out.

Does it also apply to beast crits? Don't think it would, but it's worth asking.

It does. Beast attacks are just normal attacks, only they use beast balance instead.

Not that there's all that much heft in a Beast's WSC.

No, but something is better than nothing.
Beast attacks also count for releasing stored damage, so if you kill something with a WSC on a regular attack, you can possibly one-shot the next using only beast balance. Which is great.

You shift the reserved damage of your last strike forward.
Wonder how it accounts for monk punches (weapon spec) and kicks dealing very different damage amounts. Say I use nekai, nekai, kick in my average bashing form. The WSC procs on my kick... Will the remaining kick crit damage transfer onto my next nekai attack (even though a nekai does far less damage than a kick)?
Unknown2011-08-21 17:39:10
Could always just switch your form to kick, nekai, nekai to be safe.

I'm pretty sure it's just a transfer of the unused damage, without modifiers.

... why bother changing what you're doing?
It just carries over the extra damage from your previous attack, it doesn't matter what your next one does. I've even had beast attacks that wiped out a critter from full health in 1 attack because a WSC on a rapier carried forward.

I had my attacks set up a few different ways depending on which form it was, but that was just an aesthetic change cause I was bored.Unknown2011-08-22 02:06:04
This is beautiful, thank you. So so much love for the admins. 
This makes up for my grumpiness about artisanals.
Pleased Aeral is very pleased.

Definitely a great change that evens out the playing field for all classes. Split-damage dealers no longer hold an unreasonable advantage over 2-handers or casters. Even though it's almost a year late in implementation, it's better late than never, and now that beast aggression also breaks shields, bashing damage and efficiency is mostly equalized across the board. This will make future tweaks to mob damage and bashing adjustments so much easier, and open up the options to reasonably give warriors and monks more viable damagetypes. Looking forward to the followup stuff that should be coming.

Actually this change screws monks unless they were thorough.
