Official MQ2Monk discussion thread. The old "discussion" thread seems to have disappeared. So making another one to attach to the resource.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

MQ2Monk placeholder, once it stands up from Feign Death, I'll post a copy.
Chat has added some really awesome stuff with the pull routines for his plugins, and with pullerassist mode, this monk is kicking ass!Watched this and now I want to level up a monk, very nice
I've heard rogues are looking really good in ToV --- definitely tough choices.Hrmm, might have to replace the rogue with a monk now....decisions decisions
Hotfix Notes: December 11, 2018
- Fixed a problem that caused progressive spell scrolls to fail to scribe their first ranks. If your new Dissident ability is failing to cast when you activate it, go to Stratos and ask Virtuous Dusk for a reminder.
Added some information to the overview page
While there are some tank abilities utilized with MQ2Monk (Death Line, Earth, Step, and Counter Disc Lines), MQ2Monk is designed around DPS - we may add more tank consideration later, but we have those items added for now.
We optimize a 4-tier burn routine built around our 4 primary dps disc lines:
Heel - Dicho - IoT - Spire
Speed - Dicho - IoT - Spire - Ton Po's - (Will use Focused Destructive / Destructive if Ton Po's is down) and Poise
Terrorpalm - Dicho - IoT - Spire - Focused Destructive / Destructive (Ton Po's if FD/F is down), and Poise
Ironfist - Crane
If we are not in tank mode we will use Eye of the Storm as a filler, and Earth as a filler regardless of role
Feign Death:
you can toggle /monk usefeign on to toggle on FD or not - currently it is designed that it will only use FD if usefeign is on & you are in manual, assist, chaseassist, or pullerassist mode.
Mend
Mend is set to fire at 80% health since it comes back quickly
Swift Tails
Swift tails is set to be used at 60 mana/endurance
We will use our Breaths line at 40% endurance and out of combat
Purify Body
We will use our purify body in and out of combat if we have a Disease, Poison, Curse, or Corruption debuff on ourselves. (Possible Expansion into other detrimentals)
Puller Mode:
Currently, it is using the lvl 83 Vigorous Shuriken ability to pull. This will be updated in the future to use Distant Strike AA ability
Intimidate:
Same as other CWTN plugins you can /monk useintimidate to toggle on/off this ability
Kicks & Claws?!
As of now, it is hardcoded to use Flying Kick if you are 30+, Round Kick if you are 5-29, and Kick 1-4
and Tiger Claw if you are above level 10.
It is possible, if there is enough request, to add the other kicks and punches with the ability to toggle them as needed/wanted
Fists of Steel & BandoSwap?!
We created a function that will have you swap to 1hb/h2h until Fists of Fury procs, and then back to your 2hb. Some want this; some will not. Currently, reports are saying the benefit isn't that strong at current end game AND I can confirm, the proc can actually proc using only 2hb autoattack. If they fix this in the future OR you want to use it anyway you can /monk usebandoswap on
Mash:
We will use these ability lines whenever they are available.
Zan Fi's
Intimidate
Disarm
Two-Finger Wasp (comes back quick enough not to hold)
Kick/Claw/Punch
FKSynergy
Curse
Drunk
Fang
Fists
Precision
Shuriken
Echo/Mez/Split-Pulling:
We have these abilities added to the backend, but currently, do not have anything added for split pulling or mezzing
Dissident/Dicho:
We're using similar "tier'd" logic for which dicho/dissident to use --- if you have Tier 1 of Dissident ensure you actually have the "Dissident Form Trigger 1" in your spell book - if you do not, go to Virtuous Dusk and say "reminder" get "update" your rank 1 ability

It does use the new pull routines you will find common amongst the other CWTN plugins - Chat is still making modifications to it, however. Like i mentioned in the overview, for now it is just going to use virtuous shuriken if you have it, however you don't get that until the 80's. so if you don't have vigorous shuriken, it will check to see if you have a ranged item, just like mq2war - expect some updates to that in the futureDoes the pull routine inherit mq2war ranged code? In other words, if I'm leveling a monk and wanted to pull with it before getting any of the aforementioned abilities, can I just use thrown weapons?
Happy to hear people are looking forward to this! I had a lot of fun helping chat put this one togetherFinally! Ever since the MQ2Berserker plugin has come out I have been waiting for the monk edition, if you need anymore help with testing let me know! Until then I will continue to patiently await its release.... Now to just mark this thread as watched and spam F5 until then.
Bst will be a little longer than monk. I have a mostly working version atm, but we still have some spell casting and spell set management stuff to sort out, but the routine is there and it works really well.The MQ2class plugins are awesome. Tested them all and love them. Waiting patiently for MQ2Monk, and wishing there will be a MQ2bst :P
That's awesome, you and cwtn did a wonderfull work on these with your plugins and macros.Bst will be a little longer than monk. I have a mostly working version atm, but we still have some spell casting and spell set management stuff to sort out, but the routine is there and it works really well.
I actually did bst before monk, but its not up to the cwtn standard yet for release.
Monk should be really soon.
Mend
Mend is set to fire at 80% health since it comes back quickly
yeah this was just a placeholder, we can do that@Sic Would it be possible to make this into an adjustable variable instead of a fixed value? I have found situations where delaying my mend until I am a bit lower health, 65-70%, allows my mend to come up again at a more opportune time later in the fight.
Not a deal breaker either way but figured it was worth asking!
Dichotomic Form and Dissident Form are the Eok/TBL class abilities - many of them are very class defining HERE is a linkWhat is "Dicho"?

no, you can only use one, they are progressive abilities, however - so depending on how far you have one progressed versus the other, you might use the older version. All classes have these spellsAwesome, thank you!
Just to make sure I understand correctly. You can use BOTH Dichotomic Form and Dissident Form together? Or does Dissident Form overwrite Dichotomic?

Made an MQ2Monk Overview Video discussing routines, some AA abilities, settings, puller information, etc.
CWTN has released MQ2War for purchase!
CWTN has made MQ2Monk Available For Purchase!
you can add mobs to ignore with the /monk ignore and it will write mobs to a pullignores.ini in release folder. All of the CWTN plugins will use that fileDoes the pull routine use KissAssist_Info.ini to know what not to pull in each zone?
I was wondering what people have their pull setting at for them. Like camp radius or Zradius or Radius. I am trying to feel out what others are finding what best works for them and I can adjust accordingly.
Thanks
