As topic, I mean.... blunderbuss only has 5 bullets.  :facepalm:

Tooltip doesn't specify melee. 

 

It's magic... or spiritual wound magic, or whatever. Or the Monk is just reloading very fast.

Well...

The idea of an attack triggering another attack isn't new.

 

Hand of Justice and Sword Specialization from WoW were especially notorious for this.

 

It took Blizz 3 years to understand why is winning a proc-triggers-proc-triggers-proc-triggers-proc lottery is wrong through =)

 

Imho this chain proccing should not be possible, and there are two ways to limit it:

v1. make the triggered extra attack unable to proc other extra attacks

v2. add a small internal cooldown. Do note though if the proc chance is lower than 100%, random() would have to be substituted by pseudo-random-distribution in order to keep the chance the same. But yes, the current chance of Swift Fury can be considered to be 100% - as you get it on every crit.

Cleanest solution is to prevent the triggered extra attack from triggering further extra attacks, imo. For this ability in particular, I believe the issue is already on QA’s radar.

    Why not just limit it to 3 iterations or something?

    What I wanna say is it make no sense to work on firearms. They have limited bullets so should not trigger extra attacks.

    They also shoot lightning out of their fists and weapons.

     

    Bows need to be re-****ed with arrows too. Greatswords and other large weapons need to be pulled back to strike again. The idea is that the monks' spiritual power from wounds allows them to move with superhuman speed. Including re-****ing bows and reloading firearms. Maybe they already have the arrows and bullets ready to pop back into place with their incredible hand speed. 

     

    But as a balance issue sure, this seems to be a vastly OP exploit. If a fun one.
