Stop overreacting please.

Yeah if they nerf that monks are back to the pre ROK stage of being useless in raids. With all they did to the other abilities its lame. What makes it bad is we get it for a while then everyone bitches and we get hit. I just would rather not have the abilites to begin with so then we are at the level of acceptance that our class is ment to be average at best in any one thing we do.

considering most guilds had monks before thier mythical epic was even created by soe i doubt the nerf to strikethrough will make monks now worse then their pre rok level. Most guilds already started recruiting monks in raid for thier raid wide buff which got better in RoK. Peel was just a nice overpowered ability that trivilized several encounters.

Gaige doesn't know what he is on about and mend wtf when do i ever parse higher then 1.5k, strikethrough allowed me to parse 1.7k sometimes and thats on green con t7 raid mobs. zomg don't nerf strikethrough!

ya efob sucks mend i dunno where you get these enormous numbers, dont nerf strikethrough!(increase bruiser dps instead)

Trumak · 03-01-2008, 03:47 PM

Nerfed? More like fucking gone.

Let's see from the back of the mob it is all dodge = worthless. Besides the rare brawler mob.

From the front you can get parried and riposted. So I can just attack from the front and strikethrough half of the parries and ripostes I wouldn't be getting from the back anyways. SWEET.

I mean 50% was obviously op but god damn you just made it worthless.

We ain't shiny and clicky only, but they went over the top with the nerf, like xenobe said its pointless now.
They might aswell fucking remove it and come up with a new idea to replace it, next xpac will be full of + strikethrough shit anyway knowing SOE.

If you call us a tank class because we can tank white con and lower mobs as well as other tanks well then go raid and see how many white con and lower mobs there are to tank. Yellow/org mobs or any epic mob for that matter goes through avoidance like a hot knife through butter.

You say monks can parse 6k? so what?we are basically a scout that sony decided to stick in the fighter tree. No one complains when scouts parse 6k easily

Our brawlers tank just fine. Efob's usually the first person on the mob if our MT goes down, and he usually keeps aggro until peel runs without death, even in VP. Maybe it's you.

Edit: I should add... since this thread is about strikethrough, it's a discussion about the monk epic, which gives monks chain mitigation. So remind me how in the world they would possibly be tanking WORSE than a scout, as they have the same mitigation, WAY more defensive buffs, and way more avoidance?

Tank fine = meaningless when you rarely have chance to tank.

The real issue is plate tanks are better tanks than brawler and it's pointless to let brawler tank if you have plate tanks in raid.

If your brawler has altruism on MT, he will get aggro right away when your MT down, Tsunami+peel+stun stance = good emergency tank.

Now, peel is changed. It's pointless to let brawler tank when MT is down, your OT should stop being lazy and step up quick.

For most brawlers, 90% to 95%+ raid encounters, we didn't tank. It's not the problem that we can or can't tank, it's the problem of unnecessary when you have other plate tanks in raids.
