Since I am playing on PC I have pots on my KB numpad, so I can just press the numpad while using controller with 1 hand.

Yeah that's how I do it as well. Is it even possible to map actions or macros to the keyboard on the ps4? Does anyone know? I'd prefer to map my pots to that as well.

Yea, you can just activate the hotbars in your character settings.

just did a few A3s runs with lower than my normal acc, acc cap for FLANK appears to be around 583-584

i was running @ 582 acc and hand a single flank miss over all the attempts, so it should be close to that

you run with a bard right?

600 flank without bard, 630 front.

you can get away with 570 flank if you have a bard, might get a few misses on adds tho

why would the bard keep 100% uptime on rain of death?

regardless, i was trying to give people more exact figures, rather than the rather rounded numbers your giving.

i think i just figured my problem, may be it just me but im on ps4. no im not delaying them as i constanly presses the botton before it even gets higlighted. im rdy for all the botton as they come up.

Any opinions on getting esoteric belt or ring first (assuming weapon is done)? Ring is obv a lot more STR since it's 180 -> 200 ilvl, but with belt it's +3 STR and then swapping the icky SS and Accuracy with CRIT/DET.

I hear a lot of stuff lately about skill speed having made a comeback for Monks and that 660 is the new magic number for us. Any truth to that? And if not, what skill speed should I shoot for?

660 Sounds about right, maybe more than necessary. If you are in a static and prep to Courel Form before the pull then any SS works, If you start with PB then gain your first GL after you pop PB then you'll need a SS cap to ensure you can ToD right after PB drops and still keep GL.

I keep Demolish and Bootshine on directional buttons and it's not so bad honestly. You realize that you have so much time to move and place a directional button, especially if you aren't stacking SS and right now everyone has extremely low SS compared to 2.5

Sounds good to me. I'll shoot for 660 since I'm in a casual guild and go after the tougher stuff on my own for the most part. Does anyone have a list of new stat weights for Monk to plug into the Ariyala gear calculator site? I've just been using the old weights pre-Heavensward but I'm sure they're out of touch.

Also, what's the new acc cap? 585? 599?
