The Monk Temple Reborn

[Eli_Jin]

I'm i180 with i190 weapon and did 1122 unbuffed solo over 4 minutes on dummy. 1180 isn't too far fetched.

Howdy! I'm the monk in question. The parse is without outside support, with the party buff and Black Truffle Risotto. I tried it again earlier and recorded it this time, so I'll post it whenever it's done.

I suppose this demonstrates that monks can entirely handle there being no BRD/MCH, (or them spontaneously combusting,) and rebound easily. But is our loss of damage doing this in normal circumstances a profit for the raid? I dunno.

Im using fracture alot now. Im going be using purification over fbchakra if raids are little to no downtime. Also I hit full 180 w190 wep. I did a little over 4 min parse and ended at 1200 exactly. Food,party,no pot. 21% crit, which seems odd. Does anyone else feel like your crit %'s suck now or is that just me?

Did u skip fc on that 1.2k parse? It seems that drg nin and mnk r all balance now. Now we need to see how we do outside of dummy.

the dps increase of using fracture will be less than the dps decrease of loosing forbidden chakra, just an fyi.
also as to your concern about crit, we no longer get as much crit chance per point of crit, so thats probably why it feels lower.

[Butcherboy]

Wait so the critical chance got nerf?

[w153m4n]

well depend on the fight though, long extended fights you can only really use FC once as you won't recharge Chakra mid-fight, and Fracture can be used multiple times.
shorter fights / lots of downtime then yea FC should be the better option.

I still wonder with the extra longevity we have with Purification, maybe stacking SS and maintaining 3 dots as our extra dps would be the new way for MNK. Back to testing

It didn't exactly got nerfed but adjusted to our level, we're back to Darklight, so while out stats do seem way higher than before they are in fact lower because of the higher stat requirement for a level 60 job.

[Butcherboy]

Yeah the idea seems legit about stacking Ss, but this idea build would make fc not relevant since we will b using purify instead. We need testing.

As requested, 20 minutes of dangerously unremarkable monk play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hphogM-qwMk

We still don't know how the stat weights look so I'm not gonna worry about tweaking stats until then. High skill speed seems fine now, at least.
