1 - Interesting, I have been trying to let it get down 1s or expiring to get myself another snap punch
2 - Yeah this is my biggest weak point in my rotation, I need to pay more attention to it. I probably need to re-do my UI so that I can see all my buffs and debuffs more clearly
3 - I try to save them (at least BFB) for times when I am not taking dmg or moving too much.
4 - I play on PS4, no can do. This is why I agree with SE on this, I am not able to use it at all so I feel that PC players get an advantage over me, haha.

Yes, of course I open with PB, usually Shoulder Tackle>PB>Demo>SP>SP>IR>DK>TW>BS>BFB>TruStr>Demo>ToD.
Usually I just have our melee players eat the vines if it isn't on a spit to build LB, we have a BRD do mana for the WHM so it isn't really an issue. But when we break them its quick, I will either try to stay in melee range of the boss or run out and then should tackle back - FoW>FoF if I think its prudent.
I was using Potion of STR after first blighted to ensure we pushed through with just 1 bee, so it wasn't available in P3 ever.

I could probably re-activate the joy-stick lock-on to do this, I took it off because I would lock on accidentally in stuff like Titan HM or Twinny and get gonked by a landslide or twisters. I suppose I could just be a better player.

That's horrible. I think on a mediocre run I did 280. That makes me feel like I suck ass. Is it possible that I am screwing myself really bad by losing auto attacks on movement with PS4 movements?

I have a clear with the non-burn method. I just feel like as a MNK I should be outDPSing everyone unquestionably, and that since I feel like I'm a good player that should be exacerbated, and its obviously not the case.

Thanks guys - more feedback is appreciated.
