This make no sense. I was testing on dummies. If I use Bootshine in rotation I lose 20-30 DPS.

If I just use Dragon Kick -> Twin Snake -> Snap Punch//Demolish while keeping Fracture and ToD up seem best dps. I have no idea why using True Strike and Bootshine in rotation the parser is giving me DPS loss. Maybe its the time required to reposition?

Opinions?

I believe the only thing that could make you lose DPS on a Target Dummy while doing the mathematically best rotation (including Bootshine and True Strike), would be you not facing the target while repositioning ("missing" autoattacks), but then again, no clue.

There is no wasted time repositioning if you move while on GCD / you are not far from the new position to start with

between bootshine and dragon kick: It's because of the 10% blunt damage debuff you put on the enemy, if it was a few seconds longer you'd might be able to go bs, dk,bs, dk, like demo/snap instead of only dragon kick. However if there is another monk in your group, one of you can keep the dragonkick debuff up, and the other person will also benefit from it and then they can use bootshine instead by piggy backing off the other monk applying the debuff for the most group dps.

between twin snakes and true strike: it's because twin snakes gives +10% to ALL damage, you don't want that thing to fall and it only lasts 12s, if it lasted 6-8s longer, then you can switch between twin and true like you would demo/snap.

and no it doesn't have to do anything with time to reposition which you can easily do within the global cooldown window.

so you want:
DK>twin>demo/snap
BS>twin>demo/snap if in a group with another monk who agreed to be the one applying dragon kick.

I was testing on dummies, I used Bootshine when DK debuff was up. I never left DK debuff to ever drop.

I used lock on to make sure I do not miss auto attacks, and I moved during GCD. You can even move during attack animation, the hit place is registered from start of attack animation. You dont need to let it to finish.

This makes absolutely no sense. Mathematically Alternating between DK and Bootshine would be best DPS, but no matter how much testing I do on dummies, just sitting my arse on side ignoring Bootshine is the best DPS I can get....
