Well I don't mind if one handed Mighty Weapons would be the same damage as normal 2 handers, only give barb specific bonuses. Then I wouldn't have to worry.
But as far as logic goes I think they are 1 handers that deal slightly more damage than normal 1 handers, hence being "mighty".
This is an Action RPG, you won't be doing strictly 1 job. Everyone is going to pull their own weight in every job. Some classes will just have more of 1 thing than another, and be played differently. That's how the variation is given
lol owned. On topic though you cant possibly expect a barb to play like wizard, or any other class. So why expect that from the monk? I suspect the monk will be played defensively for maximum effectiveness. To not take breath of heaven in pvp is foolish.
Well you gotta believe in Blizzard there....
either they did a good job and monk is decent, being able to solo inferno without spending 10 hours every monster (would mean bad dps but heals) or monk sucks.
But really... it's the same for almost everybody. Monk are no healers, they heal a bit while fighting but it has nothing to do with an mmo. If game is well balanced, either monk heals are equal to other classes defensives, or monk heals are superior and he does a little bit less damage like 90%. Doing 90% but having better survivability is not a bad trade-off.
This is assuming the game is well made hence having faith or not.
Also... PvP is like not before 6months imo, you may have enough time to get 2-3 classes by then.
I am going to main monk, thing that is kinda puzzling me is why does he have same exact life as the barbarian haha? He should have half the life but hit twice as fast.
Between dashing strike (keeps pressure on ranged classes), 7-sided strike (777% weapon damage during which you are invincible), the healing skills, and probably the best passives in the game, I think that a well-played monk is going to be a force to be reckoned with in PvP.
Either way, I have this uncanny ability to root for the underdog. I think monks are being highly underestimated, there is a place for smashers, but when the smasher can't smash anymore, who's going to heal them.
Glass cannon Monk DOES work and you can clear Inferno doing it. You just have to kite with Tempest Rush (tail wind) and only do damage when Serenity is up. You should take little to no damage if you do it right.
I disagree with OP, Monk is my main and I was thinking the opposite that Monks are going to be quite strong in PvP.
I dont care who you are but being a melee..you will lose to ranged. so many slows and ways to avoid damage. Plus im wondering how they will balance people with stupid high dps? like athene has 400k dps...that will 1 shot anyone!
I personally think monks are gunna destroy in PvP.
Dashing strike plus thunderclap? Hello.
While I move around using strafe the entire time (with that guys build from yesterday, 100% uptime, 100% movement speed, 6 attacks a second and they instant hit without aim) and I'll just keep popping smoke screen which doesn't break strafe and kite ya'll around =D
man I can't wait for pvp so we can all yell at each other as to why our class will outplay your class =P =P
Monk dps is awesome too. It won't be able to show on your character sheet though due to this:
You can buff all your offensive skill ( most of time is Breath of Heaven - Blazing Wrath + Blinding Flash - Faith of light) and then buff sweeping wind(sw) - cyclone. SW will catch your initial dps and keep there until they fell off . Further more , you can use MOC ( mantra of convic + overawe 24% additional dmg ) .
All of things above won't show on your character dps. You won't see like 100k dps monk on character profile page ( well you do some godly monk but that's not the case) but 40-50k dps monk will do like 100k+ dps with this method
But as far as logic goes I think they are 1 handers that deal slightly more damage than normal 1 handers, hence being "mighty".
Does anyone know anything about this?
There wont be any best spec... If you wanna go ''pure dps'' well this is your choice to die quick and have no MF + GF...
Stop thinking about build and shit, you see a frozen minion, swap one two spell, play with that, you see an arcane minion, put some interrupt spells.
please don't think d3 is an mmo lol

Obviously the gear you need for PVP will be very different. Are we going to get a different gear setup save for PVP?
