Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Scum]

do you have a video?

I'm going to assume you know rotations, so;

1) Do you shoulder tackle back after wash away?

2) Do you still get your positionals during hand phase and stack for the swipe? Although, if you're i202, you're group probably doesn't need you to stack.

3) Are you holding buffs for concentration? Again, if you're i202, your group probably doesn't need you to.

4) Are you using rocking breaker when your tanks bring the hands together?

5) Use pots.

However im barely breaking 1000k dps (30 seconds during the hand of pain segment of fight, my dps is around 1500-1600 however quickly falls and the average isnt helped at all really) from start to add phase (where at present we wipe)

We killed it last week, and I ended the double hand phase close to 1400 dps @ i202. We obviously used drac pots in the beginning, though I don't use RB on the double hands due to TP issues later on. I can provide a video if you want.

Take a look at this if you want some reference. My clear from today. Things may align differently because of the arrow card as we were fucking around with Astro today. If I was to do it better I'd refresh demolish on the other hand but my group isn't scraping through hand of pain so your experience may vary depending on your groups gear and raid DPS.

Hi Kaos, as a fellow progressive A3S Monk (my group stuck at last phase 15%), would like to share a bit of my experience :
1. At hand of pain phase, u said u're dps is about 1500-1600 which i believe you are fine (higher than mine at least which floating at 1350-1450 without RB)
2. I believe your problem starts at adds phase. Did u start with PB right after the first adds comes out? After that try to keep up with your GL and i don't use TOD and Demo since from what i see it's faster to kill without Dots. EF and HF when you got the chance to hit 2 adds at the same time. Provided you didn't lose GL, i believe dps normally floats about 1000-1200, depending on mechanics.

Yup, this is essential as i grab the first debuff off tanks unless i have the damage debuff

2) Do you still get your positionals during hand phase and stack for the swipe? Although, if you're i202, you're group probably doesn't need you to stack.
If DRk is using living dead, yes, if not they prefer me to stay stacked though this is something i raised yesterday as something i shouldn't be doing at this phase regardless.
3) Are you holding buffs for concentration? Again, if you're i202, your group probably doesn't need you to.
Will need to now
4) Are you using rocking breaker when your tanks bring the hands together?
No. Should i be using RB instead of SP at this point?
5) Use pots.
At present we are not using pots

Responded within quotes to your QQ

Additionally after one member left and we had to reassign positions, we have had a set back some some no longer are geared as they should be so stacking now is required.

That video is awesome. And clears a lot up about my short coming, So it seems, MNK's attack both when possible regardless. See during the Hand of Pain, we are urged to not even touch the other hand. Especially now with the job switches, we are barely making the dps check again :/ Ill forward this video to my static and hopefully we can try something like this as that makes it seem a lot easier. Easier than what we doing anyway. Ill get a recording of my next attempt and put it up on YT for you. Thanks for all the support all. Very grateful!

No problem at all!

The attacking of both hands is probably more so when you've got this content on farm or pushing for a kill and need to make up dmg in the first 2 phases. Don't worry too much about double dotting till that push is comfortable. Do notice however that the second wash away I'm at {demolish} in my combo and apply that to the stationary hand then move back to the hand I've been assigned (DRG, BRD - Limb) (MNK, SMN - Liquid). You always want to try bait the Palm mechanic as well (achieved by spreading the hands further apart after wash away) which will allow you to refresh demolish on the Limb before Equal Concentration and the hand of pain mechanic. There are many things you can do with the split hands to gain dps but this is how I usually handle it and there's probably more optimal ways to do it.

What are your dps on a dummy? Gonna parse myself again todaya nd see what i get. Be nice to compare with you all

At i206 with i210 weapon I'm ranging 1450-1500, crit rng dependant. Sometimes I dip in and out of that range but that's the ballpark figure as of now. That's with no pty/pots/food and no use of fracture.

Question: stuck on A2S. At ilvl 195 doing a little over 1360 dps and feel like i hit a wall. Just dont know when (or even if) I should rockbreaker-PB spam on waves 5 and 8 for more deeps. Im really short on TP and invigorating 3 times in the fight and purification-ing twice. Using rockbreaker whenever there are 3 or more enemies.
