MNK's Chakra

[Noira]

They won't do that because it would make monk too strong. So you can either do it in your downtime, or inbetween GL stacks (it's possible to do it takes timing but you can).

For the primals you are right, there are enough long downtimes to charge 5 stacks of chakra.
In A1 when he flies up i have once in the whole fight the chance to get back 5 stacks, so i can do twice forbitten chakra if i don't need TP.
In A3 (which i did 10 times yesterday) when he swithes the form its only enough time to do form shift to get to coeurl form to refresh GL3, and also in the switch to the little add phase there is not enough time to press 3x form shift and 5x chakra.
In A4 all of the downtimes lasts not long enough to get 5 stacks furthermore you need the GCD in the downtime to get to coeurlform to keep GL3 if possible which is the most important.

So in A3 and 4 i can use either forbitten chakra or TP reg only once in the fight. I think thats not what SE wanted, to use one of two skills just once in a fight or maybe twice for fights like A1. And additionally when you compare it to coil, there are lots of fights where you have NO downtime.

Using chakra between GL stacks would just drop dps, and from what Ive read as of now monk DPs is behind ninja and dragoon so I dont see how it would make us THAT much stronger. I would take a cut at potency if it meant I could use forbidden chakra as much as I can howling fist atleast.

Yeah monk DPS is behind ninja and dragoon especially when you add their dps raid utilities.
using chakra between in fight would be worse than any other GCD.

I would also agree with the idea to lower the potency of forbidden chakra in order to use is more often.
