    For those monks out there who have cleared A2 and possibly A3, what numbers are you pulling? Also if you could include A1 numbers that'd be great. My group is currently having issues in A2 with DPS, meeting enrage with about 15-20 seconds worth of dpsing left to do on the last widow when the big bomb goes off. Our bard is having to play songs quite often, and I have resorted to not using rockbreaker as much as possible to help TP issues, since my TP is like a black hole when I use it.

    I Dont know my exact A2 numbers since I play on console (1.5k+ last time I asked the friendly PC players of my group) but in regards to rockbreaker I use it in waves 3,4 and 8 mostly, I couple it with pb when its up. You can get purification off up to 4x in A2S, mix that in with invigorate and you should be alright. Would be interested in hearing what numbers are pulled in A3S though.

    1.6k dps in A2 but i have seen higher from fellow monks in fc, you should be able to use rockbreaker full time when there is a decent amount of mobs up, obviously use purification/invigorate on cooldown, i personally don't use touch of death until last phase also to help with tp.

    1.2k dps in A3s https://i.imgur.com/D4lQZFG.jpg this was a sloppy clear also compared to last week so could do abit more.

    How many purifications are you going through? Since there's not much downtime in A2s, I find I can only use it once from when i've built 5 stacks before the fight began and possibly another time right before the 4 jagged dolls spawn but risk losing GCD dps (potentially GL3 as well) to build it up. Course I'm probably managing my TP horridly compared to you guys... When I hit 1.4-1.5k utilizing Rockbreaker, that is having all the goads and 2-3 paeons..... very painful for our bard's dps

    3x mostly. First purification I use after the second wave (would be around 700tp after using RB), it would be back up in the middle of wave 5 with both widows up, then at the start of wave 8 around the time when you kill 2 jagd dolls and the next adds spawn and get grouped together. In wave 9 it will be back up around the middle of it but I manage to finish the fight without it at that stage.

    I'm at 4 Purifications:

    Wave 1 (Preloaded 5x Meds)
    Wave 2 (Invigorate)
    Wave 3 (Purification)
    Wave 4 (Med 2x)
    Wave 5 (Invigorate near start of Gobwidow HP, weave Meds 3x during Gobwidow, then Purification after cooldown ends)
    Wave 6 (Invigorate as doll dies, then weave 5x Meds during last 20% of Gobwidow)
    Wave 7 (Purification just as dolls spawn)
    Wave 8 (Invigorate, then weave 5x Meds while finishing off last 20% of doll)
    Wave 9 (Purification)

    1574 on our first clear, but I haven't measured again.

    A1S our monk usually does 1050+ but we kill the boss before 3rd jump.
    A2S our monk usually does around 1500+. I think he offsets purification and invigorate so that he has a TP regen every minute or so. If the lack of TP causes you to delay a gcd, you're better off charging a stack of chakra and he continues this until he has 5 stacks for purification.
    Can't give you a3s numbers since we're still polishing up adds phase
