The Monk Temple Reborn

[Morning32]

Anyone finding a rotation they are getting good results with and feeling comfortable?

Forbidden Chakra is definitely behaving weirdly after maintenance. At first I thought it was cause I wasn't using WTFast, but even with it you have to delay your press till well past halfway being done with GCD.


On the side:

**Note: I'm aware without supply a video I can't really get clear cut answers to my issue outside of speculation**

I am having a DPS problem on the dummy and I can't figure out what could be wrong. I have Hive Claws and a good amount of i180 gear. For some reason I can only find myself able to maintain around 1050-1080 DPS without party and food buff and potion. I've played monk since release and as far as I can tell I'm following all the priority rules:

My opener is Form shift to Coeurl and open with Demolish -> PB -> Snapx2 (BFB) -> Snap (IR) -> DK (Steel Peak) -> Twin Snakes (Howling Fist)

Then I go into general rotation:

BS -> TrS -> SP -> ToD -> DK -> TS -> Demo -> ad nauseum

while mixing in oGCDs and reapplying BfB and IR as present.

I am very sure I'm not missing any auto attacks either because I tried with and without lockon and garner up basically the same DPS.

Is there some finesse aspect I'm missing that adds a good amount of dps, some timing issue that I may be missing?

I'm following the priority system to a T: Keep GL3, DK, and TS buffs up.
I'm also reapplying Demolish and ToD at or after the 3 second mark.

any advice?

Are you using Fracture at all? I'll Fracture if I have 4 seconds left on Demo and am not running short on TP. Also in your opener you're using 4 Coeurl Form moves in a row at the beginning. I'd move those around. I do the following without pot usage:
Demo (PB) SP > SP (BfB) TwS (IR) DK (EF) SP (tFC) |PB end| ToD (HF) BS (StP) TS (ST) Demo > Fracture > DK > TwS > SP > blah blah blah.

I'm at i172 with i180 weapon and I'm getting 1050-1055 DPS with no party buff, food, or pots at around 4 minutes. So you're a bit shy considering you have the i190 weapon. Could be an execution issue. Can you make a video so we can actually see?
