One Hundred Blows is not working even close to how it was on Live. I am trying hard to find ten year old posts, but it is difficult. I can tell you, with absolute clarity, that the stun could last significantly longer than it does here. I soloed quite a bit in SolB on bats and bugs are and whenever I would get a proc in, I consistently would not get attacked for several rounds. Often not getting attacked before another proc would hit.

The stun was never supposed to break immediately on any melee. There was a "chance" to break the stun on melee. When soloing, I would rarely break the stun early. When grouped, the chance to break the stun early increased. And of course when on raids, I don't remember the stun lasting very long at all.

The monk boards back in 2001 pretty much agreed that the stun would last either three, six, or 12 seconds. And again, melee would not necessarily break the stun. It seemed to be akin to how DD's to break root. There is a chance, but it is not an absolute.

The way it is currently implemented on P 99, the stun portion is pretty much useless except to interrupt casters. It seems to be lasting 3 seconds only, regardless of any melee. And since the mob attacks immediately after that 3 seconds, in most cases it doesn't even appear that the mob is missing a round of melee. I've tested this extensively and I will set up a time sometime to generate some logs that will show what I'm saying above is true. The reason I know that the stun is lasting only 3 seconds, regardless of any melee, is because every time I proc and immediately turn off auto attack, the “stun” still lasts just 3 seconds. I've seen no variation whatsoever.

The tranquil staff was an important weapon to monks on Live. Aside from its utility and DPS, it was also a bit of a status symbol and a right of passage. It was kind of a big deal to most of us monks, and I'm sure we would all like to see it return to its former glory.

EDIT: I see that this thread is actually in the “resolved issues” subcategory. When I did a search this is the only threat I saw discussing this issue. I will try and dig up some “proof” and if this thread doesn't get any responses I will start a new one. I really hope other monks will chime in and help get this fixed. I tried using the way back machine, but I believe monkly-business was an EZboard back then and I just don't have the original URL.
