Kanras could you maybe elaborate some on monk weight limits? This always confused me because while you could gain a ton of AC using a heavy item like Tree Weave it wasn't easy to figure out if sacrificing all that weight hurt in the long run or what kind of impact it ended up having. I mean I know you lose AC but if you were wearing high AC items that put you over the weight limit whats the trade off?

Dont believe your UI.

Also dont think you're smarter than the 50+ intelligent people who worked out the BiS items by expansion on monkley business. And the 10's of thousands of monks who didnt wear tree weaves as they know its a shit idea.

I'm not saying they're wrong, just going off the numbers my UI tells me at one point when I was playing a monk I swapped out high AC heavy gear for low-medium AC weightless gear like wu's armor and from what my UI was telling me my AC went down as a result.

I know people don't wear heavy items on monks for good reason, I'm just confused as to why this has always been one aspect of monks that is confusing. Like if someone completely new to class starting playing they would be lost on the subject and for good reason.

There are times where, if you're RIGHT at the limit, you can be overweight with more AC, depending on the item. But you have to also consider that as soon as you loot some pp or something, that'll probably be negated.

On this server though, it's a huge issue, since the UI is no longer reporting things accurately, people can't make those adjustments themselves. I'd rather, given the situation we're in, make the server match what the UI says, but whatever.
