Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9753105" data-attributes="member: 7030563">How many did you play in tier 4?Mercy was the best Monk in tier 1 and the lower part of tier 2, but it was still pretty weak overall compared to other classes at those tiers and it was not among the best Monks in tier 4.  I would say it is actually on the lower end of Monks in tier 4, with only the really bad subclasses below it.Stunning Strike is not an amazing Monk feature at high level.  With most subclasses I rarely used it at high level in the Monks I played.  I still used it situationally, and in 2014 I sometimes spammed it at high level, but that was situational and purposeful and it was throwing lots of saves at an enemy to try to beat him numerically.  It is not a common or really extremely effective tactic, but if you have more key than you can spend and are hitting him anyway .....You bring up Flurry of Blows, then you bring up stunning strike, but these are low level Monk features.  They are not high level Monk features and they are not very powerful at high level unless there was something else they were doing based on the subclass.  Saying a Monk is weak because FOB and SS are not good at high level is like saying a Wizard is weak because Burning Hands sucks at high level.</blockquote>
