The Monk Temple Reborn

[Ossom]

Yeah, I was operating under the reasoning that Dragon Kick does not help Demolish's tick but it does help its initial attack, which I just neglect.

I should have mentioned it earlier when I posted the rotation, you should expect Dragon kick to fall off before Demolish, and Twin Snakes to fall off before Dragon Kick in your next rotation.

What this means is that my rotation adds X potency from the second Bootshine and Y potency from the second True Strike and you lose A potency from the Unbuffed Dragon Kick and B potency from the Semi-Buffed Twin Snakes.

St; Gain/Loss = (X + Y) - (A + B)

• X = Bootshine's Auto Crit Potency MINUS Dragon Kick's Average Potency
• Y = True Strikes Potency (190) MINUS Twin Snakes Potency
• A = Dragon Kick's Fully Buffed Potency (DK & TS) - a Fully Unbuffed Dragon Kick
• B = Twin Snake's Fully Buffed Potency (Dk & TS) - a Semi Unbuffed Twin Snakes ( Only has DK)

Which ever one is greater is the one you should use.

Edit: Question for you guys though instead of just making a new post.

Whats a bigger buff damage wise, Interal Release's 30% Crit or B4B's 10% Dmg.

Wondering about the Damage difference of it on a Demolish on average that would be amazing. But if you know the overall damage difference between the two (since B4B last longer it would probably be higher) then that would be helpful too. Just wondering, don't need to test it if you don't. I would try and test it myself but my PS4 fails me at this kind of stuff. I r scrub. ^^

I guess you think DK affects your Demo and ToD DOT ticks like Twin does. GG testing it on bootshine, try testing those numbers with DK+DEMO and TWIN+DEMO. Dragon Kick does not affect dot ticks just to be clear.

Thats true, but unlike a DRG Dots arent as huge a part of our damage (where Chaos and Phleb are giant sources of damage) ToD and Demo together are around 8% (or maybe a bit less) of our total damage; the large majority is autoattacks and weaponskills, which is why I believe the effect from DK is much larger. (Either way you have both before you put up any DoT effect, so its a bit of a moot point really)

Internal > B4B.

B4B = 10% increased damage, with 25% uptime. 10% x 25% = 2.5%

Internal Release = 30% chance to Crit for 50% more damage, 25% uptime. 30% crit / 50% more damage = 15% increased damage x 25% uptime = 3.75% Increased damage over time.

So Internal Release wins by 1.25%.

Yeah either way the opener is legit though, ive been inserting my potion after pb falls before tod. It stays up for the next demo too. Its the best place I can find to insert it.

auto attack, SP, BS and TS is my highest damage source according to parser, am i doing it right?
because if i'm not mistaken back when i play monk on T5, i remember demolish is the 2nd biggest damage source

I saw another rotation from an FC member, you could check that out and see if that is a better parse. Pretty much the same as mine but Internal Release is moved and a spot is made for X - Pot.

IR > PB > Snap > B4B > Snap > X-Pot > Demo > Dk > Ts > ToD .. Yadda Yadda

I feel like this one might be good depending on how quick you are getting into

IR > PB > Snap. If you waste time in IR without Going into PB and then it might not be that good.

So dots together are 13%. You have to remember Dots are the highest potency per GCD, but not your highest "damaging" move.

Demolish is 70 potency with a max of 6 ticks of 40 potency, for a total of 310 potency, IF you dont clip, if you clip and lose a tick it's 270 potency. This is still your highest potency PER gcd though.

Touch of Death is 20 potency with a 10 tick dot of 25 potency for 270 potency. Your second highest potency, Tied with Demolish if you lose a tick of demo.

So if demolish was your 2nd highest damage source, There's something wrong or you went Perfect Balance > Demolish > Demolish > Demolish > Demolish every add phase or something, lol. (BTW that's pretty good damage if there's a bunch of adds up all at once like in t13, t12, etc, if you dont have a risk of dropping stacks)

I just tried it, it loses in potency per second to your opener over time, and I'm guessing its because of the earlier cooldown on Internal is Basically not allowing every 2nd ToD to have the IR buff up unless you clip ToD really early. The 1/3 demolishes still line up, though.

must be wrong parser back in t5 then, your parser is similar to me

sorry for taking me so long, kinda when i reread all the last 10 pages i understood you asked for more data
here is the link
http://www.filedropper.com/strikingd...0141223-161538

so in act, just go import act file, and it should show on the main table as imported/merged

I think I answered you somewhere already but you may have missed it. I think you missing auto attacks, well delaying them would be more correct, as my auto attacks have the same as yours while being less geared. It means you are very likely delaying also your GCDs as you are not always able to strike.

I suggest you go see your wife, sorry your preferred dummy. Parse yourself without moving, only going through your usual rotation. See how much dps your auto attacks is. It will be your reference for future comparison, just mind your crit rate. Then see if you have the same auto attack dps while moving etc.

[zlotjko]

tried few times with and without moving (and using gcds) and the auto-attack is 141.85 (oddly for few tries got the exactly the same number). While the number is better then on previous attempts (due to me mostly hugging my wife/dummy now )
but still far from the numbers i should get, and like 5-10% away (my guess is with my gear i should be pulling around 550 and without food/pots/pt buff am stuck at 500).
