your of course welcome to make your own decision of to do it or not, but personally i dont find it worth the risk of loosing GL3 just for a nerfed ToD

Did you modify this specifically for AS3 timings, or is this now your standard opener?

thats a fairly standard opener it looks like, i'de swap the DK and TS around so the timers actually line up though, only other difference i see is demo is the 3rd gcd, not first.
seriously though why does everyone insist on doing twin snakes before the dragon kick, you gain nothing and lose so much

Can't understand that either...

Can you explain? As far as I can tell TWS > DK is 140+(150*1.1) potency for a total of 305 while the other way around is 150+(140*1.1) for a total of 304. Granted, it's basically nothing, but I see no benefit from the latter except getting reduced INT in 1 GCD sooner.

DK is more like X1.11 damage, not X1.1

Even if you gain potency it'll be lost when you reapply Twin after it falls off. Plus unbuffed auto('s).


Perhaps this can be avoided with enough skill speed... but why bother?

new lvl 53 monk here. A few questions:

1. what is some of the best openers/guides out there right now for monk?
2. and by "normal rotation" you mean keeping dots/buffs up while trying to deal the most damage?
3. is there any top monks that stream/youtube that I can watch to help improve?

thanks.

You could at least try putting some effort into something yourself? Scroll up. This question is asked almost daily, try reading.

No need to be rude. I asked for "some of the best" and I didn't hear too many people saying too much about the rotation here (in comparison to others) and people give varied rotations.

No need for the unnecessary hostility but thanks for helping I guess. It could have been worse and I could have made a whole topic about this. Besides there were other questions I needed help answering. If you are going to give the typical "We shouldn't have to baby you post" don't bother. I'm not here for an argument. I already read a good chunk of this forum before asking, but I might have missed something.



Edit: I just checked and there was only one forum post about monk rotation on page 2 and then another random "lets stand up for monks" and "monk advice" topics on pg 4 -__-. How is that "being posted on a daily"? Again I didn't read through this whole thread/forum (which was dumb of me to not do before asking since I found at least a good rotation on pg2 of the whole forum) and I said I wouldn't argue here, but cmon.
