Fists of Wu maybe change it?

    I keep hearing that Fists of Wu is useless because double attack already gets maxxed with buffs from other classes... was hoping maybe devs would consider changing it into something more useful for monks ?
  2. Fenthen Well, that's that...

    No.

    Monks are in a pretty good place right now. Don't push it. Lol

    Isn't it still useful when they don't have all of those buffs from other classes?

    Not every spell is meant to last 20 years.

    Nope.

    At higher levels, all melee toons are at 100% double attack chance with no buffs and a pair of pants equipped.

    Well sure, but there's still quite a few expansions where it isn't capped and it's still useful.

    And what about lower levels such as level 68 when monks get fists of wu as an ability? It is great that they don't need it at higher levels but we are talking about a level 68 ability here and there is no reason to change a level 68 ability because it isn't useful at level 125.

    That might be what you're talking about.

    I imagined the op was talking about at max level where the parity abilities from other classes are still useful AFTER 68 and monks aren't.

    I don't care either way, but I get it if that's what the op is after.

    Still need to remember that the ability is useful for monks at lower levels especially on TLP servers.

    I do remember for the tiny population in the grand scheme of things it is useful. Stop arguing just to argue like you always do, lol.

    Trying to remind people that a level 68 ability is still useful in era and it isn't a bad thing if you no longer have a use for it at much higher levels isn't just arguing. People should quit trying to nerf lower levels because they no longer have a use of an older ability.

    Instead of asking for it to be replaced ask for something new at a level when it is no longer needed.
  14. Cadira Augur

    Dumb.

    Asking for it to actually be useful at all levels is not a nerf, but a side grade when released AND a buff at higher levels.

    And that is why I started by asking if it was useful when it is introduced and the responses I got said it was. Your response seemed to indicate as the game progressed it lost its value and that some classes can still use their level 68 abilities. It doesn't matter if the game progresses and you no longer need an ability later on as it still provides the value for when it was released.

    You should always expect abilities to become useless overtime even if they are never upgraded
