Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[monchkinz]

snip.

I would have to agree with the others in regards to using meditation while there is no down time or during a normal rotation. You just lose that much time using meditation when in fact the down times are rather long enough for you to form shift + mash meditation button and still be able to continue dpsing like normal OR if down time is short, you can save your gl rather than use meditation.

The only thing I would consider doing this is when
1. AF2 and I'm out TP and no one to give me TP regen.
2. Invigorate is on cd and will take a while to come back up and have no choice but to stack meditate and use purification.

even then I would probably use 1-2 meditate per rotation because thats how much time you are allowed to stack per rotation without losing GL. (remember if you have to demo you lose 2secs already in gl) Including, you have to move away from boss due to mechanics.

You can get 3 stacks of chakra in a rotation after both Demolish/Snap Punch with about a second to spare before having to reapply GL3.


If I'm under 100-150 TP and invig isn't off cooldown soon I just build 5 stacks in the next 2 rotations, no point in waiting before you're completely dry and waste time+dps because you're not able to queue skills properly.

Oh yeh forgot its 1.5sec per med. So yes you can stack 3 per sp and maybe 2 if you just demo.. never happend to me so i never had done it.

I think I'm doing something horribly wrong.

I went from being my statics top DPS to being almost consistently last now.

My ilvl is 180 without a Ravana weapon and in A1 I was only pulling 666 on our last kill.

The opening I use is the one in the topic and pretty much was already using all the tips for A1 stated.

I'm just confused because it's not like I'm doing anything inherently wrong but to pull such low DPS I must be =\

you just need to learn the fight, i lied, hahaha so i thought you meant ravana, GG but yeah a1 is fairly fun, after the missle explodes you have 2~3 globals before you need to tornado kick or else you will lose the chance to also save your elixir field or at least howling fist for when the adds spawn that way you get to hit 3x things with a howling first or elixir field

A1, like many 3.0 fights, is extremely group based, if your group cant put out mad deeps, then your not gonna be looking so top tier either, that said, you havent exactly given us a lot of info to go on, so its a little hard to tell

[Zamii]

Did he say this recently or you speaking about interviews from months ago?

i dont remember when exactly, but it was quite some time ago, some time in early patch 2.5 i think

Yeah I wasn't the one parsing so It's not like I can export but or group make up was DRK, DRk, Blm, Blm, Drg, Mnk, Whm, Ast.

The Blms were always around 200-300 dps above me somehow.

My rotation is tight and I know I'm doing it right but I somehow just can't push out the dps.

Like I said pre-hw I was top DPS and had my rotation down to a t but something seems to have just changed where I can't go as nuts anymore.

I'm going to try tomorrow on a training dummy and post some results.

my best guess is, you maybe stood on one of the puddles left by the adds, they reduce your damage by a LOT, that or they give you to many stacks (i think its 5?), if that wasnt the case then im out of ideas.

[monchkinz]

I can't think of anything else to help you but the more times the boss flies up the lower your overall dps will be. Down time is just hard on monks even with all our down time skills... Other thing i did not mention is use pb when available to kick start up your dps when boss drops down
