Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Ricdeau]

Well, we clear Faust just fine. We run MNK/MNK/MCH/BLM/WAR/PLD/SCH/WHM as well.I usually have me and the other monk around 950-1100 depending on mechanics and all that, blm is right under us and mch right under him again.

Ooh, the way it was initially worded I assumed you were talking about Faust since that's where most people were getting hung up around the percentages you gave. My apologies on that. Sadly I must admit we did have much time in there last night so I have no major advice on the Oppressor. Your DPS sounds about right from what I've seen though. However, those additional details you provided should give some others that got some decent time in there a little more insight as to your situation.

we can still go higher, by the end of my clear i was at 955 dps, and that was while using LB and getting mini'ed for the last 10 seconds of the fight, and with an abysmal 18% crit rate.
with better rng on crit and what not, i was normally above hovering around 1000-1050 on most enrages.

other random bits of info i picked up from my A1 savage clear...

the oppressors jump approx 5 seconds after the tank cleave following the missiles exploding, so you can time your tornado kick with this cleave in mind.
when your dealing with the adds, you can do a 2 steps forward 1 step back to keep your gcd rolling at all times and still move the adds relatively quick.
if you hit the add relatively hard for whatever reason, ie string of crits, etc, you can throw a couple gcd on the oppressor as you go past them to your marker.

oh hi i am the monk in the screenshot. yeah we can go higher, we finished that run with us almost unconscious because too tired. and we haven't optimized the run yet so lasers and void zones are all over the place making me miss a lot of positionals. we just scraped that win by a few seconds. and we were so eager to finish asap we end up doing a1 savage before we farmed this week's normal

Our clear I was like 980, but 1k should be achievable on a good run/switch at the end.

I want that parser layout

So how are you guys doing on Faust? Encounter -> Faust -> Right click Incoming Damage -> Lookup by combatant for Faust-only damage.


Most of my runs involve some turning at the end with sometimes death but I manage to break 1200 pretty consistently, usually 1220ish. Seen some monks break 1300 though, so still have to step it up.

your right, you can pass 1300, i was at 1304 for our last, but honestly, faust is just a dummy parse for the dps in every sence, 3min, stands still.
as such the parses vary by quite a bit, so long as your consistently above 1200, i wouldn't worry to much,

I do about 1200 consistently too, we do hit enrage a lot of the times and it gets hectic at the end with spinning and all. And I don't waste a draconian pot on it either.

It's still a fun fight to practice actual in-combat rotation with party-boosts like Fey Wind etc buffing your damage and for me personally getting used to actually using fracture properly. It's a dummy fight but the dummy doesn't kill you after 2 and a half minutes if you mess up. And 80 dps is quite a bit to be missing, more than just crits, so there's something that can be improved.

can break 1400 on Faust it seems, based on this reddit thread.
I'm liking MNK competitiveness in Alex Savage, we're still very solid dps wise
