New 50 Monk, questions

What additional skills should I want? Fracture worth putting into rotation?

Is there a Accuracy cap I should maintain?

Should I be utilizing Back Combos with my Flank or just Flank?

For AoE is Arm of Destroyer worth using?


Any additional advice would be appreciated. Thank you. :D

For cross class:
Blood For Blood (DPS boost, just be wary of the added damage taken)
Fracture (nice additional DoT, use after Demolish as both 18s. Leave out when TP's an issue though)
Mercy Stroke (extra damage to weave in)
Invigorate
Bloodbath (may as well, Impulse Drive isn't really necessary)

Pretty much all others are pointless outside of soloing.

Do back combos when possible, usually just Bootshine when Dragon Kick is up. Can do True Strike also if you have high skill speed. Most of your stuff is done from the flank though, yes.

Never use Arm of the Destroyer for anything other than the silence effect (which only occurs in Opo Opo stance). And you only ever really need to do that in Turns 1 and 2 of Coil. If you have to AoE use Howling Fist and Rock Breaker. You can use Perfect Balance to enable Rock Breaker spam if you wish, just watch out for the massive TP drain. :)

That said, Arm of the Destroyer is your only non-targeted ability, so if you have pop-up issues in FATEs or something it could be viable there.

Accuracy cap outside of Bahamut's Coil: whatever
Inside: 482

I disagree slightly with this one.
While neither ability is a necessary skill I do recommend setting Impulse drive over Bloodbath.

Once you get into your rotation and start feeling comfortable with moving around in battle Impulse Drive is a very potent addition to the weapon skill set.

true,impulse drive is a pretty good skill to have.you can fit it in your rotation for some pretty good dmg
.blood bath is kind of useless in groupe play since you shouldnt get hit unless your tank sux.for solo play i recommand blood bath over impulse drive since you wont be able to go on back position most off the time and blood bath is pretty good if you want to aggro many monster and aoe them.
