The Monk Temple Reborn

[Craiger]

they had already confirmed that chakra is ON the GCD, it just doesnt have a TP cost, i believe the same can be said for the change form skill

There is ofc a possibility of that (only those 2 abilities though), but has it really been confirmed? I've only seen it being mentioned by 1 single source so far, and that's the PCgamesn guy that everyone questioned in the first place.

There is still the fact that in the job video, the MNK does Rockbreaker -> New buff ability -> Snap Punch, and use a stopwatch on your phone or something, you'll see that there is only 1 GCD between Rockbreaker and Snap Punch. Either that's not Chakra(highly doubt that), or Chakra is oGCD

i believe it was mentioned in the last live letter, but either way, as far as the PCgamer guys goes, he was a main monk, and it sounded like he didnt really care much about the other classes, hence why his info on theirs was a little short coming.

also, the animation timing is fine for that particular skill being on GCD

With increased Skill Speed, and the fact that they probably didn't spam the buttons for that video, might make what I said useless, but rather use the stopwatch for just the wait between the new ability and Snap Punch, even with slow reaction from me, I'm only getting <1.4 seconds between them, and I really doubt we will see that massive of an increase in Skill Speed

EDIT: Also, yeah I trusted that guy to begin with too... but he contradicted himself a couple of times when he answered in Reddit later for example, and he didn't seem too sure about a lot of things. Not saying I'm 100% sure this is how it's going to be, but there is some pretty good evidence that at least the ability in the video is oGCD, whether that's Chakra or not is another thing

the GCD timing is started right at the beginning of when you hit the skill, not when the effect goes through, you can try using rockbreaker in particular on a dummy and notice that by the time the damage hits, the GCD is almost half done already

EDIT: just rewatched the skills video a few times and it does seem a little on the fast side, not sure if its too fast though, he does have GL1 at that point so it would help a little, my guess is however the animation wasnt properly aligned with the skill timing when they made the video, but i guess time will tell
