Game Mechanics: Monk kick accuracy

[guineapig]

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:

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.
