The Monk Temple Reborn

[Craiger]

The damage on these new abilities are really high, I just wonder how the Forbidden Chakra ability (5 stacks attack), and the TP regen ability, is gonna be fit into your rotation...

Forbidden Chakra a 400 potency attack, so plenty of damage, but you need 5 chakra stacks, and the ability that gives you a stack, is on the GCD... So, using that 5 times while you can hit the enemy, is a big DPS loss. You wanna use it when you can't attack the enemy, or maybe sacrifice 1 attack for it or something, but that's highly situational.

I'm guessing this is gonna balance things out some, because MNKs don't need to get any crazy damage boosts when you have lots of up-time on the boss, but rather when you have lots of down time, during which you can gather those chakra stacks(note that the stance change ability also is on the GCD though)

My problem is the TP regen ability though... If you have tons of up-time on the boss, and need TP, how is that ability gonna help you? You don't want to waste 5 damage attacks on getting up your chakra, and also, it's just 200 TP... How is that worth 5 chakra stacks?! In fights with long transition times or something, you don't really need that TP as much... So I don't really understand it, but will have to see.
