[azeth]

is this classic? 100% hit rate?

Monk envy certainly is classic. Monk special skills even at low level seem to never miss, but they might as well miss. Because they routinely hit for 1 point of damage. A measly 16 dps from a good monks stongest attack seems pretty subdued to me.

I take back everything I said. I noticed I was missing a chat filter to double check, and kicks won't miss, only on blocks,parries and rips. So I'm landing kicks unless NPC's roll those 3 misses.

So wtg outing monks! I hate you!

This might have something to do with monks consistently topping out DPS parses. Rogues tend to get a decent amount of backstab misses.

Accuracy on live indicates approximately 60-70% without +accuracy item increase.

Furthermore, the original description of the thunderkick discipline went something like this:

http://www.eqvintage.com/links/melee-disciplines-2/

Quote:
THUNDER KICK (Level 52): When this discipline is activated, the next successful flying kick will do additional damage. The base reuse time for this discipline is 9 minutes, and will decrease as the monk gains additional levels.
This indicates that the next time a flying kick connects, it would increase the damage of the kick. If the kick doesn't connect, it wouldn't (or it would use the disc and you wouldn't get the damage bonus till the next reuse timer). This implies accuracy is not supposed to be 100%. Again, considering Verant's original mantra of "nothing is certain," why would they leave a disc up to uncertainty if the melee attack used was certain?]

Because flying kick does indeed miss. Not a flat out miss, but 3 other types of misses.

Flying kick has a 25% chance to hit,50% to hit if the monk is meleeing behind the NPC. ( I'm making the %'s in a way to make it easier to understand. Parry, Ripotose , and dodge. Dodge only takes effect if you are in in the face of the NPC)

Once again, making parses now in fear or whatever on P99 does not equate to 1999-Kunark.

Monks STILL MISS flying kick. Stop blurring the lines saying it ALWAYS land.

I heard a level 35 monk complaining about missing flying kicks the other night, so if it's a high-level miscalculation or something, then that may be worth looking into. I have some more parses with Mr. Sochin being on top of the DPS charts for various raid mobs... I can check those later to verify if high level raid mobs (high ac/agi/defense) still fall victim to his leet feets.
