Hoping someone in here can give me some advice on MNK.

We've been having trouble with the last 40% of Raflessia in 2nd Turn 1 with not being able to burn it down quick enough. As a DRG I'm pushing the region of 280+ DPS on the fight, but I'm seeing our MNK is hitting quite low, around 240+. Just wondering if anyone can advise what sort of numbers they're getting, I know theres a bit of running around so I can't honestly say I know how that impacts a MNK. Our MNK has near BiS from last update, including Allagan weapon.

I was also wondering if that level of DPS is quite low, could anyone advise what sort of rotation they should be using.

I know the "burn" strat isn't the only way to do it, but when we're coming so close to beating it by that and I'm seeing quite low damage from someone who I believe should be equal if not better than me, it is a bit annoying.

I don't really want to be that guy that just calls people bad and kicks them from the group, so I'm trying to help a bit.

Thanks!

Unless melee get very unlucky with being linked together you should actually be both pushing over 320 DPS in 2,1 BiS gear, make sure you are both using X Potions of str HQ and proper food, and check your rotations and make sure you can keep as much uptime as possible if you are going for the burn strat. Also if you have proper raid dps you should easily be able to skip the 2nd application of honey and go into the last phase with the boss only having 1 stack, give it a week or two and I wouldn't be suprised if you could push the boss into the last phase without any stacks,

Good luck!

I usually hold over 300 myself, can't say I've sat at 320 though, but I haven't been using X Potions yet, still on Mega Potions, during phase 2 it usually drops to around 280-300 with the stopping completely, still haven't got the timing particularly well to attack to the last second so I stop straight away. But anyway, I wasn't too worried about my own damage on DRG. Do you have any advice on rotations and such for a MNK then so I can hopefully give our them some pointers on improving their damage.

Well off the top of my head, if he gets devour and runs into a patch with a bulb he can keep his stacks up on the bulb that is growing before shoulder tackle back out to the boss, Can't really give advice on rotaton as at this point I think if your doing it wrong you should probably look to change class, specially as you say he has BiS 2.1 gear, So I assume he kinda knows what he is doing anyway. Hard to give pointers, I will have work in like 5m, so I will think of some tips and get back to you, maybe others can help in mean time ^^

I would like to see the group that burns the boss from 70% to 40% in the ~20/30 seconds it takes for the first honey to come out.
