I'm honestly just trying to figure out how to kill knights again once my icon gets nerfed. Before the nerf it was impossible to kill a good knight (well maybe a Paladin, they weren't as tanky) without forcing them to remove armour. And as you can see he survived anyway and that was with 17 strength.
So yes, the icon shouldn't have been helping much if at all. It will still penetrate Algiz a little from what I've seen it do against Mir, Scales and Dragonarmour. This was purely a test to see if this strategy would actually work against knights and it didn't. So time to jiggle with the order of the breaks or figure something new out.
EDIT: Oh follow up to that bbt was he tumbled out, I braziered him and he rewore armour while still prone. So nope, no kill there either.

You can use wwk to strip deafness now which does more damage. Then you can go for axk instead of bbt which should do more damage?
Uses the axe prefarar to also break torso. WWK serves only as a method to strip deafness. The extra damage in tradeoff for no torso damage isn't worth it.
The damage is still insane, though. There's nothing wrong with high level Monk. Lower and mid tier are boned.
Oh, I get what you're saying. Yeah, it might do enough damage.

To be fair, he didn't need to break an arm. Wwk/hkp/hfp should strip deafness with torso damage and leg break, with more damage than an axethrow combo.
Yeah wwk to remove armour and an axk combo would have worked. But I wanted bbt since I know that isn't being nerfed and it's only a matter of time before axk either gets whacked with the nerf or is redesigned.
Don't underestimate not breaking torso and getting two bbts and a choke to finish, or 1 bbt and an axk. Or sneaking in the torso break before your finish combo.

Hrm, I think Enfeeble/Axekick(with Diadem) would be the most damaging/reliable finisher than any of those listed, since it's possible to accomplish even if your opponent tumbles immediately on a double leg break.
Do they do more damage? No, sometimes (depends on resists), no. Are they longer balance? Yes, yes, depends. Do they also do half a limb's worth of limb damage? No, no, no.
The only thing comparable to Monk damage in a group fight is a Mage, and that's only while the target is standing up. Mage does good unconditional dps, though.
Though, isn't Jacen relatively un-artied/low-levelled/low armour? I think that damage is sort of expected against someone with only 4860 max health(assuming 35% at 1701) and weak armour, since combos don't work off percentages.
