    Monk help in The Feast

    Hey, im trying to get into PvP with Monk, and have done matches in The Feast for the last couple of days. However, i cant find any monk PvP guides, and i really need one, or some help to get better. At the end of each match i always have way lower DPS than other DPSs and sometimes even lower than WARs, so i know im doing something wrong.

    If someone could point me in the direction of a good guide, or give me a few tips it would help alot. What are our optimal burst rotation, and how should i DPS in between Axe Kick CDs?

    And as a monk im almost always the target for the first burst by the enemy team, how should i handle the start of the match?

    EDIT: Im using FoE and definsive CDs, but my main problem is that my DPS is so low.

    In addition to fists of earth, if you know you're going to be targetted at the beginning you may as well pop some defensive CDs along with it. Featherfoot and bloodbath are good choices, keen flurry being less useful due to the positional requirements. Also, Shoulder Tackle can be used as an escape tool. Getting destroyed by the tank and melee? Shoulder tackle to a distant target to give yourself 1 or 2 GCDs of breathing room.

    Do be wary not to get out of line of sight or range of your healer in the process however. Otherwise, you might choke on that breathing room.
