Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Dervy]

Thanks to Newagain for his help.

Roughly accurate GCD Model for Monks. I say roughly as there's a few things that need sorting out, but it's... Good. I'll sort out AA calculations later, as well as converting values to whole numbers.

=ROUNDDOWN(((POTENCY/100)*(WD*0.0432544+1)*(STR*0.1027246)*(DET*0.0001372+1)*BUFFS)-2)

Nice! So glad that part is over. Give me a yell if you need more data at any point. Thanks for all the work you do Dervy!

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I'm on my MNK, my normal rotation is:

Bootshine ->True strike -> Demolish ->Dragon Kick ->Twin Snakes -> Snap punch.

After that:

Bootshine -> True Strike -> Snap punch -> Dragon Kick -> Twin Snakes -> Demolish

Then:

Bootshine -> True Strike -> Snap punch -> Dragon Kick -> Twin Snakes -> Snap punch.

Then, repeat from top.

I've found that by the time the second Bootshine goes off, Demolish would've around 11 secs left. So, I don't do it and go straight to Snap punch and stay for Dragon Kick combo for a Demolish finisher.
The next Bootshine and Dragon Kick combo will finish all of Demolish ticks, thus leaving no dots on except Touch of Death.

My question is:

Is this okay for a rotation? My old rotation was only the first one. That would apply Demolish again at 11 secs. I thought it's sort of a DPS waste since I can sneak in a snap punch in there.

I've yet to get Meditation and Tornado Kick but once I do, I'm planning to get Tornado Kick fit in my rotation with Perfect Balance as in:

GL3 -> Tornado Kick -> Perfect Balance -> GL3.

Therefore, Tornado Kick every 4 minutes.

My question is:

Since Tornado Kick has a CD of 60s, and Perfect Balance has a CD of 240s. Should I plan to use Tornado Kick every time it's up or as I plan to use it? Is it a DPS increase to use Tornado Kick every time it's up (thus losing GL3) rather than just wait for Perfect Balance?

That's 330 potency, with a 27% increase in damage, our highest potency attack also with Dragon kick debuff.

Thank you.

Unless u know for sure ur going to loss GL3 use it. Don't use TK and make part of ur rotation as its a dpS lost. If u lol at the first page of this thred it'll explain to u the rotation.

Yes you're supposed to use demolish every 3rd rotation.

Tornado kick is almost useless, only use it right before phase changes or if the fight is ending. If you want to do damage with pb refresh your DoTs and debuffs and spam true strike or bootshine.

Fracture is what a lot of use to combat the leftover Demo timer so that you are refreshing Demo on time rather than clipping it by ~5 seconds. There are a number of posts where we discuss it, and there's a section in the OP about it.

Blowing PB every time it's up to do a TK isn't worth the hassle, and it will leave you without PB if you find yourself in a situation where you actually need it. As it stands right now TK is used only for longer mechanic/phase breaks and as a finishing move.

So what's everyone buying with eso this week?

To those who have been wondering if there will be an ability that will add 5 stacks right off the bat.

Q: It’s difficult to store up five stacks of Chakra while moving through dungeons. Can you add an ability that instantly gives the maximum amount of stacks?
A: While developing this, there was a discussion about whether it’d be good to have an ability that gives five stacks while not in battle. However, the current damage values were calculated to be able deal damage nicely while in battle, so we are not envisioning battles where you fight against enemies with five stacks off the bat. In the event that we were to make this possible, it would make monk too strong, so we won't be implementing this at the moment.

Body, obviously.

Body, obviously.

Likely getting body as well, but was a tough decision between that and Legs
