So monks got nerfed overall then.

However, I do think I read that mobs are more dangerous now? That's fantastic. I loved getting destroyed when I played bad on live. Rogues were mainly fun to play because of that risk.

PS: I think double backstab is tied to double attack as well, so it might be impacting rogue damage across the board.

yes, that is a large portion of their dps, they are the least effected by this, I do not believe double attack is tied to bs but if someone has concrete proof lemme know. monks do about 90% of their dps through straight attacks and 10% from flying kick. warriors are probably 95% maybe 90 through kicks/ripostes. rangers are probably in the 85-90% range although i don' know if they use any dmg spells on targets at this point in the game. so when rogues can shrug 40% of their total dmg done on an ability that is huge when their is a dw/da nerf it will affect them only a little compared to everyone else.

Playing a monk sucks anyway.

Can't solo anything. FD mechanics are annoying as hell. And once you get to raiding you're expected to be the workhorse, basically. You're running around the whole time working your ass off the whole raid while everyone else alt tabs and faps. And dpsing consists of pressing auto attack and kick.

What would u recommend for an alt or new main? Possibly bard, shaman, necro? Something else? Not many classes fit my play style but it does get annoying being designated puller all the time.

Bards will always be hax on this server since circle kiting is not done away with until pop but they need a lot of twinkage too.

Consider a chanter bro. I'm thinking about making a shaman alt since monks are nerfed now.

Shamans are kings of Velious.

I tried to solo a L51 chokidai in Chardok and had to bail out and use my strings - and I had full cleric/shaman buffs. Before I could solo NG without any buffs at all. In general it felt like mobs were tougher/more resistant.

No idea how classic it is; I have yet to find the thread with the posted data.

The new increased FD blur chance is really nice though.
