Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Thrustie]

Ive got the same controller setup, although I found putting an action onto L3/R3 (put limitbreak on there) has been a big help so far.

Didn't realize you could map to those so thanks for that. I use L3 for lock on though I can only use R3. I already had LB off my main hotbars though so it didn't really free a spot up. I'm thinking I'll swap fracture in for rock breaker on raids that don't require AOE since I would pretty much never use both in the same fight.

Here's my current setup that allows all skills+your LB. You'll be short of a spot for a potion if you even bother using that, but you can probably drop featherfoot or one inch for it. With this setup, my R3 button can remain my lock on button(since auto attacks are VERY important for monks.27% of your overall dps is no joke)

When weapon drawn:



L2+R2 held:


R2+L2 Held:


You pretty much can fit all of your skills+cross classes.

Yeah see I wish I had trained myself to use the R2+L2 combos separately instead of duplicating them. But now I'd have to retrain myself to use it like you do.

As an aside, don't you find it awkward having GCD skills mapped to the directional keys? I had it that way at first but found it difficult to hit GCDs while moving. Now all my GCDs are mapped to my buttons.

I myself prefer to have GCD skills on face buttons, it allows me to move while using them, good for things like medication and form shift. All oGCD will be on the dpad, I keep this consistent so it's easy to know where my skills are. I macro Fist of Fire and Fist of Earth together, but I don't really change fist stance much anyway. Since I am playing on PC I have pots on my KB numpad, so I can just press the numpad while using controller with 1 hand.

Yeah that's how I do it as well. Is it even possible to map actions or macros to the keyboard on the ps4? Does anyone know? I'd prefer to map my pots to that as well.

Yea, you can just activate the hotbars in your character settings.
