I guess the word has changed meaning a bit over the years, I used to think it meant completely removing something but it's being used in a context where the skill now acts exactly as the description was before the "nerf", so to me it's more of a bug fix.

However, people are still posting that the 55 monk is "nerfed" which is definitely not true, so I did some raw footage of a 55 monk solo'ing griffons, trolls and the underworld (I left out the axes since they take longer)

This footage was done on Sep 1st, a week after the "correction"

Most of the people just haven't realized that it is still possible, but rely on others to think of the quick switch in skills themselves. (Btw I HATE the word 'nerf' in any context lol)

Nice video.

What are you basing that on? That the 55 monk was nerfed? The 55 monk wasn't nerfed, the proof is in the video. I don't even think you can say the skill was nerfed, it was modified to match it's description.

I hate to be the only person who does not flock like a sheep to a MF build but im not impressed. Hundreds, possible thousands have done this before.. i see no point to making videos about 55 monks, they are all the same. You stand there and get attacked, eventualy something dies....

Anyways now that people know they can still do things the lazy way i can rest knowing im safe from "omg i spend 100K in my smite monk" for at least another patch or two

Lazy like people who don't even read the posts they're responding to, they just look at the title and start typing away. There might be a higher ratio of bots on these forums than in the actual game.

It's not meant to be impressive, there is misinformation that anet will nerf builds if people solo UW, they didn't nerf the 55 monk build. People have said many times, "the build is not nerfed", but others continue to spread fudd. This is not fudd, it's proof that the build was not nerfed.
