[QUOTE="Corwin, post: 7002182, member: 1560"] IMHO, if the monk is constantly feeling the need to have to stun opponents in every fight, there is something odd going on at the table. If the group can take down their enemy/ies in a fight, even should the monk be out of ki, then the fight is winnable without needing to stun. And, having played a monk for many levels, those ki points are precious. Dodge, flurry, disengage/dash with double jump, throwing a deflected missile back. There's a *lot* of ways to spend that limited resource. Not to mention how expensive (4 or 8 ki a pop) the high level monk abilities are. I seldom find trying to stun an opponent as the best use of my ki. Sure, I've used it. And it has its uses (when it actually manages to work successfully). Very potent when used wisely. But every fight? Heck no. Not even close. If there's one thing I've found I've used the majority of my ki on, it's Patient Defense. Hands down. [/QUOTE]
