Why Compare

[Sharlize Flynfeet]

Hello all my brothers and sisters. My problem with this whole nerf is as follows.

I started my monk , because I liked the appeal of a monk. The way they fight , and their numerous skills. I don't understand why people compare monks to Warriors, Palidans, Rogues, Sk's and beasts. The reason I don't understand is that all these classes have things that are class specific. That is the way it should be . Monks should be agile and be able to avoid more damage than other classes.

Also at high levels with lots and lots of AA why couldn't we also be able to tank well. I mean it takes a lot of playing time to get the skills,levels and AA's to be that unstoppable.

Shar is my main and I love playing her. Even with the nerf, I will say that at my level Some times pulls can be tricky.

As far as damage, Solo I don't think that anyone can compare to a druid. How many Classes can get a blue every Quad and Quad every 10 minutes with Kei.

But the thing is I am not interested in Playing a druid or any other class for that matter. Why do people compare . Sure some of the melee classes have similar skills. But we are all unique in our own way. It truly saddens me to see people of non monk origin posting that it was about time monks got the ax. What is this??? Class envy?? I don't get it. Cant we all play the character that we choose. I never wanted Shar to be just a solo character . I enjoy soloing once in awhile but I enjoy the atmosphere that a group can bring to the game. The biggest problem I have seen with this Nerf is that I take a lot more damage pulling mobs back to my party or raids.

I have seen people state on this board that ( how does a lack of Mitigation effect pulling) LOL well to me it means this.

If I don't make it back alive then someone has to drag my corpse and then a rez . Then buff up and recycle. Pull again and try to time better and hope to not hear those dreaded words ie: SHARLIZE HAS FALLEN TO THE GROUND.

I just wish that if people wanted to be like monks then play monks. Why did they have to change the whole class ?? It is even more discouraging to see others happy about this.

I am happy for the Pali's that they did not loose what they are. Maybe someday I will understand . But until that day I will continue to pull and to solo and to enjoy this GAME EQ. For that is the real reason I play. I play for fun.



I am Proud to be a 52 human monk.

Penis envy, plain and simple. some of the people here look at other classes and say "oooo i want that!" and continually bitch and complain using it as something to up themselves it while it has nothing to do with them.



Gameplay wise the pally nerf announcement had NOTHING to do with us. But alot of monks used it as a bitch ticket. But they are correct on one thing. VI gave a pretty clear explanation on the harmony nerf and explained why the pally nerf didnt happen. But we havent heard SHIT from VI. not even an excuse. God damn i least i would be happy with a "because we wanted to"

I have no clue. I have no clue what other people do for damage cause I have other hits turned off. I see their criticals and thats it.



The vast majority of people play an entirely different game then the one I do, I suspect. And you know what, Im having fun again in the game. Course Im strange like that.



Must be because I dont look for a group....Oh and I dont pull. Heh.



Someone: Hi, Want to come to Cazic Thule?

Alexyi: Will, I be pulling?

Someone: Yeah, Your a monk arent you?

Alexyi: No, Im a T-staff wielding Mob Shredder....You want one of those other monks that just pull things. Thanks Bye!
