it doesn't matter if they are OP... they really should think ahead when they apply stuff like GS to the game..
GS came first.
Then Monks came out with their bizarrely coded handwraps that couldn't easily support GS (Monks were probably developed simultaneously with GS, and the two groups didn't communicate).
Then Monks get massive buffs to compensate, including ToD rings.
Now, Monks can't get GS wraps without rolling back those buffs. Which would be a very bad thing.
Monks get Burst rings, everyone else gets GS weapons. Meh, whatever, long past time to move on.
Quote:I DEFINITELY don't see them as OP since most monks take two hits and fucking eat shit and die. That and since wind stance no longer partially stacks with haste, let the little fuckers have their GS wraps.
Poorly built Monks. OP is in the optimal, not the noob.
I suspect a ShintaoIII with LitII wraps, Holy+Shocking burst rings, could out DPS Barbarians vs. a
ton of things, especially Pit Fiends.
