I have not had my devastation fist work on a single named npc. However, my buddy Faetzu and other monks I have talked to seem to have no problem landing it on named npc's. When I use it, the mini dmg portion of the attack hits and the big dmg just doesnt go off at all. I still receive the stifle effect, unlike a normal miss, however the attack doesn't do the damage. I read another thread on this subject where other brawlers were having the same problem and the last reply three months ago still left it without a conclusion. Is my Dfist just fucked or does it not work on named mobs for other brawlers as well?

I get the same thing as you Drytan and I've heard other Brawlers it works on named and others it doesn't. Guess I'm one of the Monkers that it doesn't work for.

It does work on some named, mainly only on lower named. The ones it does not work on are usually to be the heroic triple up's, and I am quite sure it doesnt work on any named you will find in an instance and in such cases you will receive a text message that the effect wont work on your current target. Though the small amount of damage can still land on the named and in return putting the 10s stifle on you.

I have had it work on named and not work on named, it seems completely random. My guess is its like a 10% chance to work or something like that, for example I have fisted Drusella or whatever that mob is thats last with that heal shield thing a few times, but sometimes even in the same fight it will also miss, usually misses more then hits. I have tried only using it when crit was up didn't make a difference, tried from the front as well and it work, I think its just a very low % to work on named.

Is it suppose to work all of the time? I just assumed that it could be resisted in some way since it doesn't specify that it is unresistable. When mine is outright resisted, I don't get stifled. But if the smaller bit of dmg hits and not the bigger, then I still get stunned.

Ive seen the monk in my guild land it on every named in maiden's, mine however has never landed for the 25%.

I cant recall one instance named that ive used Dev fist on and it land. Its just impossible. I think the ability has a part slipped in where it wont work on named mobs or something. I have though done some raids in RoK and It does land on Leviathan. But Because it has a 75% reduction in all damage I was ranging between 2200-3300 , very weird that it works on a rooted mob that has insane repose chance.

They should not make it have a normal recast timer if it misses OR it stifle you still if the first 300-500 damage part of it hits. and the 25%/ 2900-4900 hit doesn't land.

I HATE fighting a named and missing with Devastation Fist only to be stifled still.

but. I love hitting heroic mobs in raids for 120k. = Nice on fights where im naturally going to parse a lot lower then I normally would because of the way its designed. Needed Out calls for Melee AE's etc etc

I have the resist problem, or miss. I notice when fighting nameds to wait till the mobs hp is around 20% and it seems to have a better chance of hitting. This is also solo so no big list of debuffs on it.

I have yet to see a message saying dev fist cant be used on target, not since the revamp that is. But so far i've landed it on named in Nest, Solo named in RoK.

Shinzul

Duuuude gross!!!

Traxor

I got this message on Leviathan but like I said , it was landing and I checked logs to make sure it was landing. So I guess the text is in there but you can still hit the mobs with the ability.
