Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[RyuDragnier]

I prefer picking them up with howling fist, mostly because I've never been a fan of moving inside a monsters targeting circle.

I normally don't do that either, but he charges up Emergency Deployment to toss out the adds, then does 1-2 AA on the tank before doing a wide cone AoE. More than enough time to grab them and get out.

I do agree TK needs some tweaking, it feels underpowered and very situational. The situational part I can live with, but at least increase the potency since we are using all of our gl stacks for it. I know there are alot of good suggestions out there and I hope SE listens to some of them.

TK was 500 potency originally going by mined tooltips, but was nerfed just before launch, because at 500 it would've been a DPS upgrade to use it every time it was up. 400 potency maybe?

Just my 2 cents in here having been 60 for a couple weeks now. I understand why people are upset over our new skills being so situational, but keep in mind that a lot (almost every monk i've met) has almost always considered SkS a trash stat, never stack it, and even now probably can't get over that notion. The reason we got so much SkS now is b/c not only does it allow for our Dots to hit harder and more frequently it also gives us ample time between GLIII cycles to put meditation in our rotations which adds FC as an oGCD every minute or so if done right. Currently i'm only at i174 but i'm pretty confident not many dps can say they're hitting 790 encdps in A4 like I usually do.

should anyone doubt my claims here are some charts for you guys. (cause everyone loves numbers)

For me, I rather save my pb on situations like where I lose GL due to unforseen circumstances, like getting sucked in randomly to kill an add or have to do snipers due to people being dead being only melee I have to LB etc., sometimes you will lose GL at that time and saving pb would be far more beneficial.

If you mean using TK when you have pb available (which I think you are suggesting since its final phase) then yes you can probably get away with that if your confident that you wont need pb later again.

[Carstien]

Well yes, I did specify using it when you know you don't need it, and used the last phase of A4 as a perfect example. It isn't much, but a dps increase is a dps increase, and adding those up are how the best parses are shown.

[Barghest1210]

Also making FC gain a stack on every GL refresh would be nice and just lower the potency or put a cd on it to balance it out. Just my 2 cent,

I just want meditation off the gcd

[Galdous]

I just want to not have to meditate x5 between pulls. Should not have to maxi it to prevent carpel.

[Rhaja]

I was already on the fence about continuing monk, but after seeing how Chakra was implemented and TK being extremely situation I decided to put it on hold until 3.1 By then we'll know if its playing as intended or not.

Oh, and I'm waiting to see an actual blunt weapon from SE for MNK :|

Maxi? Dunno what that means, but I have a specific macro that will ramp the charges when I have the downtime specifically because it's annoying as hell and repetitive. It's actually very effective. Works perfectly for the A1 jumps and usually get to form shift 2 or 3 times by the time I can attack again.

They said they will be factoring that in very soon. Hope to see it come true too. Also that emperor's glamour for legit monk fists action!
