Cow, MoC/Overawe does not give damage bonus to other party members, unfortunately.
Unless you're saying 4 monks in a party that use the same mantra, MoC/Overawe.

With the nerf on WC, Monk's MoH/Time of Need is very handy as well.
MoH with passive skill, Guiding Light, gives both offensive and defensive bonus.

Added on October 29, 2012, 8:36 pmMonk has a passive skill to give 16% damage bonus. But that must be combo with a healing mantra, which is MoH.

What mentioned by cowithgun doesn't give damage bonus to other party members/allies.

You refer to MoC/Overawe. that damage bonus is given to the monk himself/herself.
Not to other members/allies.

I play monk and play co-op most of the time.
This is why I don't use MoC/Overawe.

P/S You can read the description of Mantra too.
All three Mantras buff the player & allies, except MoC.

Sure.
We are talking about MoC. Not MoE.

Yes, not the overawe. Other rune, yes (i.e. MoC/Reclamation).

You can test it.

I play monk, tested it on the battlefield.

If you don't believe me, you can read the description of Mantra.
MoC doesn't give damage bonus to allies, generally (except reclamation rune)

You guys already have high DPS.
It's nothing to do with MoC (except the monk himself) or it is just a placebo.

The description is correct.
There is indeed a damage bonus, but it's done by the monk.
Read other description of other mantras.

Another way to tell is, what do you see on the screen?

DH's Mark of Death, you see the marks.
Wiz's Stetch time, you see the sphere.

Monk's Mantra, you should see a small logo beside you avatar.

Get a monk to buff MoC/Overawe and tell us what do you see on screen?

You can do some testing to see other allies are under the effect of mantra.
It is good if you are under the effect of mantra.
If it is yes, good for you. As you said, you just had a 48% damage buff.

quazacolt, he is the one and only monk that doesn't teleport (well, if you knew the history).

Likewise the death marks of the DH?

P/S I think it is not the point. Test it. If it's a buff for you, that's good. It was not a buff (for the allies) for my case.

You can actually test it with spike trap.
Get a monk to buff MoC/Overawe and you launch your spike trap.

24-48% additional damage is easily found and obvious on screen, isn't it?
With your DPS, you should spot 800K-1million damage on screen.

No worries, this is only a discussion. And I have no worshippers.

You can actually test it.
Your party members/allies can see the damage on the screen.

24-48% is a very high damage.
It can be tested and spotted on the screen.

If you find it works, I'd say it is a good thing.
We just need one very tankable monk with MoC/Overawe + 3 barbs (that can dish out millions of damage from hammer of the ancients) to do MP10.
Kill everything in sight in seconds.

It just happened that Barbs can now dish out millions of damage per hit.
Not telling you to like it, just saying.

Of course, as I told you, you can use spike trap with your DH.
It can be easily spotted too.

Don't pick my words.
You can check with Shin and Lau Pan (good DHs). We always play together and they can tell you how barbs work (we play with a Barb that dishes out million of damage).

I couldn't believe it's true. Until we play with him.
And the friend of that barb is even stronger (that's what he told me).
Pre-patch 105a, killed A3 keywarden @ MP7 in 4-5 hits (in 4 player co-op game). You do the math.

Anyway, no point to do a comparison between barb and DH.
The spike trap is so OP now.

P/S I watched a youtube clip. A barb killed an MP10 Azmodan in 50 secs (or lower? can't remember the exact number. it is in seconds).
