The Monk Temple Reborn

[Melonhart]

Pised off at my DPS. I just got my zeta and everything is i130 with one i120 slaying ring. Cleared t13 last night. We started farming final coil for bis and my DPS in t10 was 497. No food, no poison potions or strength potions. I got wild charge twice, and one of those times I lost stacks. Should my DPS be like 525-ish given those conditions? :/ I did screw up two or three positionals

With near BiS you should be shooting for 550-560 bare minimum on T10. 580 and upwards if you don't get mechanics or a dps penalty for doing them(soaking tether on tether+charge).
Should also try to adjust your dot timings during add phase depending on the strat your group uses, in the case you don't get a full duration out of them.

Alot of factors to take in. If you got the first charge thats just a killer for monk. How optimized was your group, good raid dps or bad? My personal best with zeta and what i consider bis for t10 is 626 with the last charge. Thats with a pretty optimized group which really means alot when talking about dps. Also food and pots my friend, they can only help you. Also, never stop attacking lol.

On what page can I find the BIS for Crafted and Non-Crafted? It seems like they are scattered.

I just use demolish on son since nothing else lasts long enough. And yeah I'm just really broke so I don't use food or potions but I'm making mooney to get them XD I really don't know what else I'm doing wrong though. I don't clip dots unless there is like half a second left or if i have to at around 2 seconds. None of my buffs fall out and I use fracture, Selene, and have sources of TP

This isn't based on super rigorous testing or exhaustive searching, but it is based on some testing... other BiS listings you'll find probably aren't.

Non-crafted (crit/det on weapon, Dreadwyrm Claws selected): http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/QD0T

For an almost as good variation (-46 crit, +47 skill speed), switch to the weirdly melded Zeta on that link (7 crit, 37 acc, 31 det on Sphere Scroll -> 8 crit, 44 acc, 38 det on Zeta) and swap in the Aladdin Dreadwyrm Slops of Striking. YMMV on the 432 skill speed, but I feel that's a good compromise between damage contribution, TP drain, and ease of play. In my opinion, skill speed is a bit of a personal preference thing.

There is a possibility that an 18 accuracy Zeta (15 on scroll) might make the Demon Circlet of Striking superior to the Dreadwyrm Circlet of Striking, but I haven't done enough testing that I'd bet on it.

Crafted: i dunno lol

Aladdin

Excuse me, my aladdin pants are amazing, thank you.

He is not. He is just moving after activating the action. I do that myself, pretty common.

ah i see. i do that a lot with demolish since the animation is pretty long. didnt know it'd work with short attacks like snap and twin

Position is determined at the point of activation. You can move as soon as you hit the button.
