MNK AoE rotation idea

Currently MNK has...
Arm of the destroyer which can be used whenever but changes form to raptor.
Rock Breaker which can only be used in coerul form.
Howling Fist which is on a 60sec CD.

Has anyone noticed that the first two aoe abilities seem like they almost create a full AoE rotation? The only thing missing is a raptor form AoE in the middle.

I think it'd be pretty cool if MNKs had Howling fist changed to a raptor form aoe that changes form to coerul (obviously the damage would be changed as well). That way MNKs can have a decent AoE rotation of arm>fist>rockbreaker. Would be pretty cool!

I already do this, minus howling fist. My set up is arm of fist, twin snakes for str boost, then rock smasher. Problem is arm of fist is too weak to do any type of damage, and rock breaker is "decent". I use it after I set up my dots for first target, and if mage\healer doesn't sleep other targets I go all out with AOES. It is kind of effective.

While I agree it would be cool, especially if raptor form aoe gave twin snakes buff, the tp drain on just our two aoe is massive. It would need to be adjusted to be able to combo like that for more than a few rotations.

That'd be nice.

Keep the tp drain, increase the damage output.

Can't think of an instance where you would want to use arm of the destroyer for the damage. It's horrendously tp inefficient. The only time I've ever used that skill is to tag mobs first in a fate.

Obviously. I'm just looking at the concept though, not the numbers which can just be adjusted later.

^this. It took arm of destroyer x3 to kill a lv3 as a. Lv31
