Report #1454
Skillset: Kata Skill: Deflect
 Org: Shofangi Status: Completed Mar 2016
Furies' Decision:
Solution 3.
Problem: Kata deflect used to be the monk equivalent to trueshield, although now
both are meaningless because both used to reduce wounding by a percentage, but
wounding is currently added 1 or 2 points at a time so there is no way to reduce
by a percentage. Achieving the old effect would not be desirable in any case
because old deflect reduced wounds by 90% which was overly strong. This report
seeks to either remove the skill as dead weight or find a new use for it.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Kata deflect now becomes a defense which reduces
 physical damage from mobiles by 3% (which I believe
 is the same damage reduction a shield grants).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Solution 1 but also change Combat Trueshield to grant
 the same 3% physical damage reduction from mobiles.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Delete kata deflect.

1 is fine

Supported!

Solution 1 Supported. I don't see any problem if Combat - Trueshield got the
same PvE effect.

Solution 1 + Tredian's option.
---[Wobou on 2/25 @ 01:00 writes]:
I have made solution 2 Tredian's suggestion (solution 1 + granting the same
ability for everyone who has trueshield in combat).

Sure on both

Support solution 2

When coding this, could we also make it so that it just becomes a defense that
can be done regardless of what is being wielded in that hand (and remove the
LEFT/RIGHT syntax. Make it just KATA DEFLECT) please?
