Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[TheMax1087]

im starting to see the problem now, you should only be using 1 dragon kick every 7 skills during an optimal rotation, it appears however that you are not using an optimal rotation

Id love to see what this optimal rotation you're talking about is, as there's not enough skill speed in the game, due to the overall nerfing secondary stats, to have a 2 bootshine 1 dragon kick rotation that doesn't have dragon kick fall off, which is an undeniable dps loss. In the rotation I use, dragon kick is used every 1st and 7th skill, bootshine every 4th and 11th(not counting tod usage and fracture as filler when necessary). If theres something you are doing differently that gets you more dps than that, please share it, as I like being wrong about these things, because if theres somewhere I can improve id like to know it.

snip.

dragon kick > twin snakes > snap/demo > bootshine > true strike > snap/demo > fracture/ToD
the snap/demo and fracture/ToD get changed depending on the timer on the respective dots, after that it repeats.

i may have jumped the gun slightly on saying you dont use an optimal rotation, you just seem to be mathing it poorly
if you look closer at your rotation, you use bootshine every 6 skills, the only difference is the "fillers" makes up the 7th skill.

I was toying with the idea of only using perfect balance to get greased lightning stacks back up. What would you say is the dps gain for using a perfect, perfect balance DPS rotation, vs the effect of using it to go right back to 3 stacks when they fall off?

i believe bootshine spam is actually a dps lose overall since your buffs fall off for quite some time, i'de have to math it out again to be sure though.
i personally use it however to insert a TK into rotation, so long as i wont need to to rebuild stacks at any point during its cooldown
after the dragon kick > twin snakes, hit TK, then proceeding to do the 3.0 monk opener.

You mean to keep Fracture up at all time? cause that's a huge TP drain, and not recommended...

no, god no.
you alternate between using ToD and fracture, basically fracture only gets applied once every 30s

I actually do this. Before the addition of Purification, yes it was a massive TP drain. Due to the addition of Purification however, it's not as draining on your TP as you may think (especially due to all the downtime in Alex).

100% fracture up time makes you loose dps since your dragon kick and twin snakes fall off, save yourself the TP and dont do it D:

They don't fall off. I'm somehow managing to bring them back up at 1-0 seconds left.

How much SkS you running?

Not possible.
If you use ToD and Fracture in the same DK/Twin cycle, you are putting 8 GCD's between refreshes - you would need a GCD of 1.875 seconds to achieve this. Let's say I give you a 0.5 second leeway (generous) because of buff snapshotting - you still need need GCD of 1.9375.

Well, if you use Purification, then you're not using Forbidden Chakra. I haven't done the math or anything, but I don't think it's a DPS gain for your group. Could be wrong of course.
