Ki Focus

Ki Focus is a combat maneuver available to monks only. It is invoked to grant a 33% chance per rank of gaining an immediate tier-up on the next unarmed strike, assuming that it is successful. If the strike is successful but does not grant an immediate tier-up, the probability of earning a tier-up strike is significantly increased for all subsequent strikes at that tier.
Ki Focus remains stored for 1 minute or until the next attack. The remaining duration can be viewed with the SPELL ACTIVE command. There is no additional stamina cost if inadvertently invoked while active.
When used in conjunction with Flurry of Blows, only the first target is hit with the Ki energy.
If Krynch is not set as one's martial stance, Ki Focus is a good skill to train in. Instant tiering is a very important tactical option to have available.
