As the post states. It feels like the monk is a bit slower now since patch 2.0. Previously, my main attack (Fist of thunder, quickening) would hit insanely fast, and now for what ever reason it seems slower. I've tried the other main attacks and even they seem faster than fists of thunder which is supposed to be one of the faster strikes if I am not mistaken.
Also another concern of mine is canceling my main attack with a secondary skill. Previously I could use FoT, and mid strike I could use Wave of Light and instantly, the bell would drop, same with cyclone strike, and Exploding palm. Now with patch 2.0 it feels like my secondary attack (WoL,CS,EP) laggs, sometimes to the point where I press the button but nothing comes out, or I'll press my secondary attack and it waits for my main attack animation to finish before casting my secondary (hope that makes sense).
Is it just me or are there other monks out there that feel the class is not as "responsive" as before patch 2.0.?
Bro, Tell Me About It! I Was #183 In The US With My Monk (See: Twitch.Tv/FusionStream) And When 2.0.1 Went Live i let the monk go completely. The Hits Felt Very Slow, The Damage Was OK But the Feel the monk had before is completely Altered. So, I Took The Gear Off Of My Monk And Threw It onto My DH. After 2.0.1 Went live the DH Became One Of the More Fun Classes To Play. i Dropped About a Billion Gold Into A Wep And Another Piece And Now I'm Rocking It Like there In No Tomorrow. i Also Made A Wiz As well as a 100M 2.0.1 Guide To Building An Archon Wiz, Both of these Classes Play Really Nice Now. Only thing Is i Haven t Played Any Other Class But Monk My Entire D3 Career So Its Interesting. lol.

Dropped a billion on a new weapon for your DH 2 weeks before RoS? Taking genius to a new level
They are slower, assuming you were using fists of thunder/thunderclap, the innate IAS boost is gone from that talent.
All spi regen skills were innate hasted pre patch. FoT just had the highest %. In 2.01 afaik only cw is still hasted(16%). Thats the reason why a lot of ppl. using cw/rising tide.
OT:
Monk doesnt fell slow at all. You just need to adapt to the new skills/runes. Im doing fine with my monk. Compared to other classes imo only Wizzard damage is thru the roof but monk is still doing great and the best group supporter hands down.
I agree tons with Shinna, I'm actually using Deadly reach with the lightning rune (as part of a lightning build). I just can't stand the slow attack speed of FoT anymore so I switched to something else.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different builds guys!
Agree that FOT feels a bit slower, but personally I love the changes to the monk. There are some interesting builds now that didn't feel viable before and are different than the old traditional buff buff buff buff hold down FOT I used to use.
