The Monk Temple Reborn

[Humorless]

They might as well turn Forbidden Chakra into a GCD skill now, considering how hard is it to activate properly without losing a second or more of GCD.

Finally got around to leveling monk since i decided to switch to drg for hs. Been playing around with the opener and I've taken the japanese opener from 2.4 and modified it to fit the new 3.0 skills (mainly just the ogcd stuff).

Stack 5 chakra > form shift X3 > demo (pb) > snap > snap (b4b) > tws > dk (pot) > snap (ir) > tod (fc) > bs (sp) > ts (hf) > demo (ef) > dk > tw > snap > etc

Popping your buffs like this allows for maximum time while you have gl3. b4b, your pot, and ir all drop at the last snap punch and allows a fully buffed demo and tod. Haven't payed attention yet to see how the buffs line up later with the change of 21 sec demo.

Wouldn't mind that at all if potency doubled

[Altijacek]

Anyone feel like forbidden chakra and tornado kick should have potency increased? Feel hardly worth it. Still fun to use and still great in their proper places but yeah.

- An issue wherein the monk action “The Forbidden Chakra” and the astrologian action “Draw” cannot be queued immediately following the use of a weaponskill or spell.

*These issues are scheduled to be addressed next week in Patch 3.01.

Well there we go.

Its in there, just forgot to type it. Ill try both those openers and figure out how to get a recording up. Thanks for the help so far.

Wanna try this opener? Raptor form - twin - pb - snap - snap - demo - dk - bfb - bs - bs - xpot - twin - ir - snap - fc - dk - ed - true - hf - tod - steel peak - fracture - shoulder tackle - demo - bs - twin - snap.

No reason to twin then pb push pb back and get another ability in your pb time. Never forget twin leads into snap/demo anyway

Like i said in your linkshell the other day, i think det/ss stacking will be the thing to do (unless SS is broken like it is for bards..)

It'll basically be Det/det stacking

You reach a break point though due to tp. And lets not forget gl3 increases attack speed not the skill speed stat its self so gl wont increase dot dmg. If you need an example: fey glow(or which ever ov selenes buffs from 2.0) incrased ss on the stat. So it would show in your stats as you having 800-900 ss gl stacks do not increase the stats number.

Assuming Alex normal mode drops gear higher than Lv180, we still got 3 Weeks until we get to pick one piece of gear over others.

I think I'm doing a Crit, SS, Det build for now though, I realize SS doesn't effect Shoulder Tackle, Steel Peak, Howling Fists, Elixer Drive or Forbidden Chakra or Auto Attacks (Does it?) So I don't think it is a good first stat or prioritize, though with the Det nerf I don't see that being a strong stat for melee classes, not a bad stat, just not the best.

Det was nerfed but now they give us more of it on gear. And it still increases the dmg your weapon skills do

Question for hak, what have you been getting in bex raex and on a dummy lately? Just curious for comparisons sake
