How do I reach 450 in T8 as MNK?

[Logistical]

Our SCH uses Eos, I use 1 X-Potion during the fight (because we don't need more). I don't cast the LB (our DRG does), and I always switch to the dreadnaught (and make sure to use Mercy Stroke on each of them). Fracture is useless on every fight - it's DPS neutral as an ability and consumes insane amounts of TP. Especially in a fight where TP management is important, it's no bueno. I also don't have a second MNK spamming DK for me to use BS. i103 atm, i110 weapon.

There is no class that burns TP faster and not using fracture is pretty much all we can do to manage our TP while still wrecking.
If we'd manage it by waiting inbetween attacks it would be called slacking and not TP management. So yeah, we call for a TP song because we can only last for 4~ minutes in a dummy fight with Selene buff and invigorate.

I raid with him, so it was sarcasm and a running joke between us. He also doesn't use fracture, because as he has stated it's pretty much useless.

Did t8 last night. Unfortunately on the run where I popped the only 2 x-potions i had some derp moments happened and we wiped >_>(weird timing stuff since we skipped the 5th tower set). On our clear run I had 430 w/ dropping fracture entirely, no selene, no potions, and same gear. Did have a problem with TP song being stopped way too early and my tp dropping to like 40 :/ lol. Had to stop atking from running out at a couple points and we've never had the problem ever b4 :/. Gonna have to wait til next week for hopefully no derping. xD Still a 10 dps increase from b4 though, so it's something i guess.

I typically Ballad after Mines, and let it either drain out my mana or wait for our monk to call for it to be dropped. After that I'll just play at his request.

Hopefully you get a smoother run next week! Always come prepared with those HQ X-Pots though! I burn 10ish a week on T6-9.

Can you guys please start using proper terminology? It's paeon, not tp ballad. Seriously it's not hard, and yes I am nitpicking.

Yea I usually call for it to be stopped right when my invigorate is about to come back, but every time i looked up the paeon was off too early..like way too early lol. And they never turned it off that early previous weeks which is why I was like wth :/ lol.

I was going to bring more pots, but we had been one-shotting it like 3-4 weeks in a row so I just thought this would be a routine run. Little did i know xD

I am not english speaker, so it's more easy to spell "Tipi son" than "Peiion"??? hahaha

wow, looking at all those 400+ dps makes me thinking i am underperform as a monk...i pull about 380 in t8 and im ilvl105. i on brainjack and missle as well as 2nd last tower duty. i read some monk still can pull over 400 even with duty. i did not pop any potion or poison, just regular truffle food...im the only monk so i do my own DK...

anyway to improve?

Clean up your rotation. You have a static so if you can get a 'feel' for the DPS and when phase changes happen it will get easier. Basically just know what moves to weave in when.

Fracture only when your about to change targets or leave the boss.

Dont lose stacks even once. Use X-Pots.

Potent Posioning gives you a small boost.
