Monk SW/WoL + MKG Combat Routine

[Fexor]

xzjv or Jubisman,

I've looked through some older posts regarding the Trinity combat system and this particular build. (ie. The Ranged Monk) Utilizing the Monkey King's Garb (Sunwuko's) Set and various items to maximize Wave of Light's damage. Everything I've read thus far hasn't been to promising unfortunately.

I've looked through some of the C# files to see if there's anyway to modify (myself) to make the Monk combat routine 'kite' instead of rush in head long. Every attempt thus far, has pretty much not worked or broken the bot to the point where DB doesn't even recognize Trinity anymore.

I'm curious if there's any (at all) attention going to be paid to this style of Monk play for the combat routine.? (As currently for Season 5 this is the set given to Monk players like myself.)

Looking over the code it looks like the possibility exists I just lack the C# knowledge to modify it enough to make it work, not to mention knowing where all the links go to for skill calls and such. I tried giving the Monk in the main combat routine a "Kite" value like the Wizard / DH / WD, but that didn't work to well.

I'm not saying this would be an 'easy' change, but if the possibility to do this was implemented and perhaps a check box added so those 'not' running a MKG (Sunwuko's) build aren't forced to run it, could toggle on/off a ranged style combat routine, with using Dashing Strike only as an avoidance tool or maneuverability tool instead of head first into enemies.

If you do decide to look into this option I'd be more than happy to beta test it and give any/all feedback.

Thank you for your time.

(Apologies if this is a fairly common topic/request.)

Hey there,

Funny you mention this build. Just last night I tried to work something out, adding bits of code here and there to check if there wasn't an easy solution I was missing. Unfortunately though, I couldn't get it even close to working, just like you. A big part of the problem is that monk was never written with ranged playstyles in mind, so a new ranged build will naturally pose a problem. Second is that kiting doesn't really work very well with trinity, it's a really old issue that we have yet to fix.

So overall I'm really sorry, but I have to say one more time that I won't be spending too much time on this build, especially now that I know supporting it won't be anywhere near trivial. Don't get me wrong, I really wish I could help you here, but right now there's nothing I can do. As for xzjv, his todo list is bigger than mine atm, so unless he decides to give a high priority to this, which I doubt he will, you'll not be seeing anything form him regarding this build as well.

I hope you can understand our reasons. We try our best to support as many builds as possible, starting with the most popular ones, but we only have so much time at our disposal.

Jubisman,

First, I'd like to say thank you for any and all effort you and xzjv have put towards this. I'll admit, I had hoped it would've been easier, but I do understand designing for one type of game style and then having to redesign for something completely opposite to that with a new patch can be a monumental task.

No need to apologize, it's not like you're paid for this, I'm glad to have what you guys have put out this far. I'll keep trying to look at this, piecemeal as it is, heh, to see if I can find anything to help with this particular build. I'll be sure to share if I find anything that works with DB.

Thanks again for the reply and the consideration for trying to incorporate this build into your combat routine. It's always appreciated.

We could still start with it. Be able to select Sweeping wind as Buff. Kyoshiros Soul does 2 Stacks per Second out of combat. The Config allows just refresh sweeping wind every x seconds and thats for Sunwokus build Very bad. Sorry for my English

Sure, I'd already done that, but since my other stuff failed I forgot to check it in. So thanks for reminding me .
