Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Ossom]

I'm saying that if going into a fight with the intention to not use fracture at all is going to hurt your DPS. Now if it comes down to the point where you're at like 300 TP and no Invigorate in sight, then start dropping fracture/ToD or w/e. But thats still a DPS loss if you never do run completely out of TP.

From my SSS testing too, it seems its more DPS to use Fracture/ToD and save for Purification than to use Forbidden Chakra and do w/o those skills. If you drop Fracture, you're going to be clipping roughly 1/3 or 2/5s of all your Demos. If you drop ToD too you are going to clip 100% of all your Demos.

Ossom,

Out of curiosity, when do you apply fracture and do you maintain 100% uptime with it?

Currently, I apply fracture when it falls off but only on rotations where I will not have to reapply ToD. If I have to reapply ToD during that rotation, I will not reapply fracture until the following one. "Rotation" being DK > TS > SP > BS > Tru > SP/Demo. Though I do end up clipping a good amount of my Demos.

It shouldn't have a 100% uptime at all, for instance, I think I apply it 2, maybe 3 times within a 2minute rotation. Demolish expects 9 GCDs before it gets reapplied, without ToD and Fracture, you will see 8 GCDs inbetween each Demolish, so you need a filler skill inbetween each of those Demolishes. Since Touch of Death has a longer Duration than Demolish, you can't reapply ToD inbetween each Demolish, so you need a second filler skill too, that is where Fracture comes in.

Along with that you need to make sure you don't apply both a Fracture and a Touch of Death during the same Dragon Kick buff, or it will drop.
