Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Letts]

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.

Unfortunately I switch to SMN for A2, so can't help you there. My numbers have been completely horrible lately anyways due to this stupid lag (thanks Verizon Fios).

in my A3s clear tonight i pulled 1110 dps, im usually around 1150 - 1170 though at enrage, low crit rate + laggy night

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

Had one of my better Faust parses tonight. I'm a week behind on gear because of NIN -> MNK swap.

I really need to find a better static. Still can't down A1S. We lost a DPS so one of the pugs was the DRG in third. Zzzz.

Holy shit. I got 1175 last parse on Faust (without food) and am at ilevel 185. I greatly respect you. Hopefully there's some crazy jump past a certain ilevel threshold... or you have a badass static!

just look at their party comp, double drg and an ast, a LOT of raid dps increases outside of just gear.

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.

I'm relegated to gobwalker duty in a2s sadly. But before I get in it Im around 1500-1600, but also out of TP. Are people getting TP song to sustain all those rockbreakers?

I get 2nd goad when our nin gets into the 3rd gobwalker I think. Brd gets 1st/3rd. If you have a drg or nin in your set up they should be doing gobwalker as our aoe is actually decent+sustainable now compared to other melee.

That was my stance as well, but yeah, oh well. Someone has to do it I guess.
