The Monk Temple Reborn

[Humorless]

your kidding right? the monk opener has completely changed, and the extra couple seconds makes quite a drastic difference on demolish

Uh, no, it hasn't. You ideally start with Coeurl form Demolish and then stick a Snap punch at the end of PB. From then on it's basically exactly the same, get ToD up ASAP and start your basic rotation. Demolish now lasts long enough to make Demo-Snap-Snap-repeat perfect.

Yeah, I agree. Not the mention that the new form shift (coeurl) opening works wonders on dummies, but its not practical at all in other encounters since you have to keep predicting the pulls and other random factors so you can 'prepare' the correct stance. In the end of the day I find myself opening with the good old PB most of the time.

In terms of DPS it's negligible. I don't even put in the effort to do it in randoms, only when I'm on TS with the FC.

I actually prefer to shift into Opo-opo just before a pull and use dragon kick to get the blunt damage debuff going. It's quicker to get into during pulls than trying to move through all three stances to demolish. Plus I need to make sure there is time for opening chakras in case I've used the forbidden chakra or the TP restoring move.

Does anyone here doing the lv 50 stuff in roulettes get that "what the heck am I supposed to do with all this downtime" kinda feeling?
I feel like a bit spoilt with Form Shift and Meditate, made me realised holly hell downtime really sucks for MNK before HW

I've always been of the opinion no one should ever lose abilities they've earned through leveling due to level sync.

I agree with this completely, it actually makes me not want to do content that I have to sync for especially if it is low enough where I lose core abilities that make the class fun.
