Short log because this is from my buffer, I wasn't logging. Morzan wanted me to log this because he thought this was a bug, even though I'm pretty sure it's working as intended.

You flee from combat!
You can see that even after using monkey style his Barrier still blocks most of my attacks. Only my special attacks deal arcane damage, even though the helpfiles suggest that all of my attacks should do arcane damage for a few rounds after switching.
As far as I've had a monk it's always worked this way, but it doesn't make it virtually impossible to defeat a barrier using opponent because there is no way to deal consistent magic damage with a monk.
Ibrayin 0 , 0 , 0 . Yeah I don't understand how I'm going to ever be able to beat an invoker with barrier, since about 3/4 of my attacks will be useless. Andrael 0 , 0 , 0 . I believe that is where chii bolt comes in. You can still preform the forms, and gain chii, i think chii bolt lvl 3 smashes barrier... not sure, never tested it.
[reply to Andrael][reply to Morzan]
And the offense chii could have been saved up. I probably would have gone with phoenix after a little while just because of the spell resistance and saves.
but chii bolt isn't built into your normal chii, you get 'points' to use it while you are fighting in a stance and use your 'form of animal doing whatever' which lets you know you are doing an 'anatomy strike' which does a bit more than normal damage and reactivates your form's special striking, which is elemental for all but mantis which does slashing based damage (squids bro). Other then that, I'm not sure if someone tinkered with it, but log a bug. Cause it kinda makes martial arts & kickboxing a useless if it doesn't apply your magic based attack.
Andrael 0 , 0 , 0 . but you do need to have at least lvl 2 offensive chii to fire the chii bolt. Ibrayin 0 , 0 , 0 . 100 in all anatomies except aquatics. This include demon anatomy.
[reply to Andrael]Rayor 1 , 0 , 0 . And daaammmnnnnnnn that two flame arrows in one round is crazy yo! Yeah, I know it's a copy/paste issue. But I looked at it like, wtf is this man.
