[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 9340450, member: 7015698"] Focused Aim didn't exist when I played my Monk. Higher DEX also means extra damage. Yeah and using Ki for Patient Defense SUCKS. It brings you up to the level of AC other classes get for free (literally, because you can get armour and shield as your stating equipment!) and fails to advance the game state. Spending a resource should make you win faster, not delay your defeat, i just doesn't feel good. I've played Clerics and Warlocks at low level and using a Spell Slot can have a WAY bigger impact than spending a single Ki point. If you drop Sleep on the right group of enemies, or drop a Bless on your team mates or a Shield of Faith, it has way more of an impact than bloody Patient Defense. You get it! Obviously we're getting WAY off topic with the Monk talk here so I don't mind if we drop it for the moment. Clearly others are satisfied with it but I find it frustrating and unfulfilling outside of a few specific scenarios. Even in 4e, using Commander's Strike was not something you did all the time. It was good to have it available, but it wasn't universally the best move. I don't think Warlord fans would mind if it was situational, as long as it's available. Well he is a 'Bard' that never uses Magic. He's either a Mastermind Rogue with the Entertainer background or a Warlord with a Criminal background :D [/QUOTE]
