Rock solid for monkey transformation?

[jtomb]

For the 1-4 abilities, what does the rock solid do in the transformation? I don't have any feedback of anything really happening, I hear the rocksolid as my character yells, but the enemy does not get flinched, and im pretty sure i still take damage? It behaves different from when you 1st obtain it, where its a animation cancel and parry.

Also, any info for this skill that anyone can toss? I get the hp regen, combo, and other abilities, but what triggers the yellow hands effect for AoE rings? ( pretty sure i had it at the last boss fight trigger for me).

Sorry for the lack of structure, I was going to post this sooner but i jumped into space marine 2, so in the meantime I thought i should ask during my break of wukong!

--- Also buff base rock solid, make it give like 5 mana with all the investment as a positive. A net neutral for skill that still requires a bit more investment with atleast 2 piece in the set to make it a different choice compared to cloudstep outright is a tough choice even for my autism for wanting to use the skill nonstop. I just personally feel that in terms of balance the risk vs reward compared to guaranteed value of cloud step there is something off.

Immobilize gives Stone Monkey ice punches.

Ring of Fire gives Stone Monkey fire ground pound.

Cloud Step gives Stone Monkey Cloud Step.

Rock Solid gives Stone Monkey coat self in gold, not sure if this just gives tenacity or what as I don't use rock solid.

Pluck of Many gives Stone Monkey Pluck of Many.

Life Saving Strand gives Stone Monkey Life Saving Strand.

Now because you are Stone Monkey they mean it when they say you can absorb Fire and Ice. If I run Immobilize I can still get the fire hands by fighting a fire enemy using fire attacks. Pretty sure it works the other way around too.

I think the benefit of Rock Solid is that it is much cheaper and can be used much more frequently because of cost and cool down. I run Lantern Cloud Step and I quite like it, I just wish Cloud Step got a sort of bonus for good timing. Immobilize has Evanescence, Rock Solid has Nick of Time, Dodge has perfect dodge but I am pretty sure if I perfectly timed Cloud Step as a dodge I don't get anything extra.
