The Monk Temple Reborn

[Kuroyasha]

Hey, so I wanted to revise the previous opening rotation I posted here. Wonder if anyone can test it out, as I have to rely on static members to parse since I play on the Ps4.

The original rotation was:

PB > Snap > B4B > Snap > IR > Demo > DK > TS > ToD > BS > True > Snap > BS > True > Demo

The Updated rotation is

PB > Snap > IR > Snap > B4B > Demo > DK > TS > ToD > BS > True > Snap > BS > True > Demo

Question about opener: after perfect balance i notice it went to BS twice. Is the DK supposed to stay up by the time I apply the last demolish? I notice it keeps dropping seemingly a split second b4 i apply the demolish after the pb opener. Is that intended or am I not pressing/spamming fast enough earlier in the rotation and/or need more skillspeed?

Another edit for a full i130 set that doesn't use Flint Caviar for people that it's out of the price range for:

Full i130 at 535 acc with Apkallu Omelette
104.018 STR from secondaries
388 STR from main stat on gear
492.018 STR total from gear

How would that set stack up against this one? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OYFA
Loses 58 crit but gains 28 det. Wondering since our Internal Release boosts our crit so much anyway if the 28 det would be better.

Overall DPS should be roughly the same with that. There's only a 0.12 STR difference in favor of the set I posted. The one you posted might be a little more stable on dummies since you're trading crit for det, but I think with enough attacks factored in the difference is negligible. There a few different sets that are all within 1 effective STR of each other to fit how people want to gear.

In short, that set is basically just as good.

Question about opener

Yes DK falls off. It doesnt matter because you have 10% more on the DoT of demolish, which is where all the damage of Demo comes from.

The set you compared against is the BiS set. It is the BiS. Best In Slot - so of course the one you linked loses.
12.412 Str on the Crit vs 9.408 Str on the det.

He neglected to point out that his set also has 14 more SS too. So it's got an extra 2.884 STR worth of SS to factor in as well.
