Report #71
Skillset: Acrobatics Skill: None
 Org: Tahtetso Status: Completed Oct 2008
Furies' Decision:
Parrying or dodging will cause the momentum loss counter to get reset.
Problem: Passive dodging abilities such as Acrobatics Dodging, Shrine Dodge,
Ecology Dodge, etc, do not increase momentum if hit by a monk. If the target
dodges a monk hit, the monk looses a full momentum level as missing and
recovering usually hit the 5 seconds cutoff.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow monks who hit passive dodging abilities to
 continue to increase momentum.

Which would then allow them to do even more massive damage when they finally do
hit? What'd be the point of dodging at all then against a monk?

The same as dodging or parrying a monk or warrior in the first place - a brief
respite from the damage/wounds/afflictions/poisons. You don't get hit for "even
more massive" damage anyway, since monk damage is wound-dependant.

Dodging means you dodge an attack, momentum states that if you dont hit
something it should halt.. nothing is wrong with the current setup. If anything,
making momentum continue even if it missed due to
anything(avoid/dodging/familiar/stun/etc..) would go counter against the
principle of the skill

No, you're supposed to actually stop momentum yourself rather than relying on
passive effects to screw them over. Stance/parry stopping momentum is just about
acceptable, if extremely rough when you also consider active hindering; dodge
effects are not.

Erm, there's a whole bunch of passive hindering that stops momentum. Would be
interested to know where you got the idea that you're supposed to stop momentum
actively

He means the target is supposed to stop momentum actively, like attacking back
or headslamming the monk. Of course there are tons of way to passively hinder a
monk and stop momentum, which is why I've suggested this change in the first
place.
