Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Cynric]

just finished running down the math, admitted i used some of my old fracture data from the start of 3.0 to speed up the process :P
it comes very close to dps neutral vs the non-fracture usage, so it would be a good TP saver, although still not as strong as purification.

in the end, forbidden chakra is about a 31 potency loss overall, assuming no GCD clipping, over the non-fracture rotation, per 5 stacks
this however has to compete with the 184 potency gain that fracture provides over the same time period

keep in mind the data i used is a little old, and lacking the gear variance we have access to now, but the end result should still be the same.

That's fine, I appreciate the effort either way. Kind of a shame it's still a loss though :x. I'm really disappointed in the amount of usage you can really get out of FC and TK. I mean it's something I didn't have in 2.0 but I really wish I could use them more x.x

All depends on the content. Later content allows you a higher number of opportunities to use them, in particular current extreme primals and Alexander Savage (I can't really remember Alex normal too much since it's been quite a long while since I've done it) you get to use these abilities a decent bit. However, I do understand the initial disappointment of usage early on. Would have been nicer if they were implemented in a slightly different way, but since they've designed so much content with downtime now they work.

Also noticed we get our Punching Gloves (crafted from Leatherworker)! So excited for these

Also, hot damn...I didn't see that. If these are some Ryu/Ken style punching gloves...so done. All over that.

Ah yeah I'm fully aware of the places where you can use them during downtime or before downtime, and in Seize pvp they seem like they'd be pretty good, I'm just yeah disappointed in the actual usage of the new skills we got.
