Based on Steparu’s vid and thanks to him of course…
What’s too OP about being able to charge on the move?
I dunno about other classes, but the Elementalist can do the same, and their Meteor far outclasses Energy Blast in terms of digits and areal scope, not to mention that E.blast is way easier to dodge.
Edit: Apparently Meteor does require for one to stand still, however, they still can hold it in for so long as they could. But I ain’t gonna recall my stand. E.blast might seem fancy in theory, but compared to other nukes (including barb autatk crit) this skill is but a tickle, not to mention it’s physical, linear, and is fairly restricted in terms of cd. .
No, just no. They might even need a boost.
This thread is kinda old… =.= thanks for noticing anyway.
Just try to compute Meteor damage with 2k matk
vs.
Lvl 5 Energy Blast of Lvl 1 monk no stat or items.
I have to mention that I can also get level buff from Divine might and I only have 60sec cooldown while Meteor has 90sec cooldown.
they need lock monk movement while he charges this skill…
the range is already too big
Yes, exactly what I’m trying to say.
No, that would be dumb unless they reduce the load time.
Reduce loading time or able to release before the casting end will do also.
Just needs to blow your armor off in the process, balance issues solved!

Allowing us to walk makes it lame… Why are we not funding these kind of animation?
Eh Just dont base your opinions on steparu’s videos lol. He was playing against noobs that couldnt even sidestep lol. Its too easily dodged and also, if you wanna talk about something being too strong, go check elementalist. I saw a steparu video where an elementalist almost won 1v5… so yeah lol
Energy blast is pretty much the only “powerful” charged skill I can come up with that you can cast while moving.
Skills like Meteor, Fire Pillar, Electrocute, Snow Rolling, Multi Shot, Rapid Fire, etc. They all need you to stand still while casting. Monks just get it the easy way, sadly.
lol 
and most times you cant dodge something that you dont see on the other side of map
I like this energy blast skill, idk if its real balanced, but at least lock monk movement while charging
even Goku cant move while doing the same 
But you fail to realize, monks cant combo a skill to make you stop moving so they can freely cast their charged skill on you lol. Elementalists(good ones at least) will have sleep, so its actually quite easy to sleep-meteor anyone without being at any risk. You see a ■■■■■■■ monk moving while charging around a kamehameha(the stance is different) you EQ him or something.
@II_JoJo_II Eh its just an example. I was just saying: “If you are going to QQ about monk given what you saw on step’s video, go QQ about an elementalist doing 1v5 and almost winning”.
Just like every single of the skills I’ve mentioned previously, Sleep also has quite a lengthy cast time. That is if you want it to reach a level high enough to sleep someone for long enough to cast a meteor.
My point was more in regard of PvE anyway, and even then, let’s say Wizards have sleep, sure. What about Archers? They barely have any CC to make them sure-hit a Multishot or Rapid fire.
I don’t think every casted skill should have moveable cast, but I think it’s one of the many advantages monks got. It would only be fair if they’d have to stand still whist casting too. Plus, they’ve Safety Zone.
I guess they didn’t know what Elementalist can do simply why it turned out too strong there. Afaik one inch punch has long straight aoe and can KO targets, I dunno why steparu didn’t use it that much
One Inch Punch is not that strong and the casting time is kinda long. I personally think you are just salty of monks, they are not that strong, in fact, the need boosts to be on par with other classes… Besides, the current full dex meta ■■■■ the ■■■■ out of monks. They are not that good, they are barely above average on the big picture, and they are not that easy to level up without a good party.
You can’t cancel energy blast.
Miss and your done, unlike other skills that can be channeled.
PvP is too fast now (chrono’s and cataphracts) for this skill to really be effective anymore.
People just rush in, probably why Steparu doesn’t play this anymore.
nope Master Roshi, actually I want to main a Monk. I just want to assure challenge or wont get bored when playing the class.
Hey @FatePGN what’s the strongest and popular class in pvp now after updates?
