Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Ossom]

Well, after a lot of tests I have seen the results and I have decided to change my opener:



The only one change here is just the first TS is after DK and potion now. The potency of the opener is higher overall. (The difference is really really low, but there is a potency gain).

Steel Peak is actually one of your strongest oGCDs (IIRC), after Elixer Drive based on PPS, so if B4B and IR are up for all of your oGCDs up to and following Shoulder tackle, you should look into switching Steel Peak and Howling Fists and moving Forbidden Chakra to the far back of the oGCD line up.

Every oGCD skills should be used when Trick Attack / Battle Litany is up, I mean, oGCD skill order is not relevant if you use them asa Trick Attack is up (Trick Attack duration is perfect for 5 oGCD skills).

Wouldn't it be ST since its on a 30sec CD?

Steel Peak is 150 Potency every 40 Seconds, so its Potency per second (pps) is 150/40 or 3.75

Shoulder Tackle is 100 Potency every 30 Seconds, so its Potency per second (pps) is 100/30 or 3.34

Howling Fist (when hitting only a single monster) is 170 Potency every 60 seconds, so its Potency per second (pps) is 170/60 or 2.84.

Elixir Field (which absolutely takes the cake) is 220 Potency (when also accounting for only 1 monster) every 30 seconds, so its Potency per second (pps) is 220/30 or 7.34.

Ok I completely misunderstood PPS then I thought it mean a whole new definition, example ST is 30 sec that's means in 60 sec that's 200POT vs 300pot but u have to wait another 20 sec to completely over take ST. Ok thank you for clarifying.

Not sure if anyone else cares, but I found this 1452 DPS MNK POV in A3S which is the highest I've seen thus far and extremely impressive considering the top 3 FFLogs parses for that turn are catered to the MNK & include an AST, whereas this guy just runs NIN + MCH.

Something interesting I noticed was his opener which people are still debating here apparently:

FS x3 > BFB @ 1 on macro > ST > Dem + (PB) > SP > SP > DK + (Pot) > TwS + (IR) > Fracture + (EF) > BS + (StP) > TS + (HF) > Dem + (FC) > ToD

I imagine the early BFB lets you combo #2 with IR and allows you to get 3 total by P3. As for the rest, I'm not entirely sure. He uses a pot before IR which is something I don't see often (is there some advantage to this or vice versa?) Then he opts to Fracture instead of SP on his last second of PB which I'm guessing is to maximize DoT uptime on the boss for that phase as you can only fit in 1 ToD anyway vs 2 Fractures if you use it early. All this yields him roughly 1800+ DPS by the end of P1 (he even reports 1900 which I find to be insanely high) and 1600-1700 by the end of P2. I actually had a fellow MNK use DK for me, a NIN and an AST with Enhanced Balance (+15%) and I never ended P1 anywhere near 1900 so I'm wondering what other people usually burst there.

Oh man, thanks for the video. I have something to study now :3 He burst 2009 I think in this video. That's just unheard of. Going into add phase with like 1.6K too. A+
