We're in the process of removing the on-use benefits of the Mantra of Healing rune, Boon of Protection. The hotfix change is:

Amount of damage absorbed is now capped at the amount of healing provided by Mantra of Healing in the first 3 seconds after activation


We recommend discontinuing its use until the rune is replaced with a new rune and mechanic in a future patch.

The Boon of Protection rune was approximately ten times over its budget on the benefits it provided, and it was quite simply a mistake on our part to let the rune ship as it was. We don't intend to take these quick and drastic measures often, but considering the severity of the issue, we felt it important to correct it swiftly.

We're shooting to post a full list of recent hotfixes tomorrow, and will be looking to answer questions once that's live.

What level are you now? 3k DPS 9k HP, should be around late 40s, early 50s?

Does evasion build for monk really no go ? was gonna try on evasion build

at one point in Nightmare mode, I settle for less 100 - 200 dps to get about 150 health restore per hit, and you know monks got how many hits la.

so mob that time you see health go up up up only.

but now big big mobs it go up also no use. so might as well deal damage and hope for some crits, still gonna die anyway.

guys, does ur monk use fist or other weapons?
i see some player use other weapons
