Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

[Ykronix]

I've got another question! I was in a party with another Monk on Seph Ex and she asked if I was using Lock on, to which I answered no, and she said that I was losing a lot of DPS without it. Is it true? How imperative is it because I'm pretty sure I am hitting all my auto-attacks (or is the animations just for show?), and using Lock-on really screws up my sense of perspective in a fight when I have to move around a lot.

You won't auto attack if you're not facing your target, if you don't strafe you're going to lose DPS. If you were going to auto attack when you were moving it's going to be delayed by the amount you move. For MNK moving for every positional that's a lot of missed auto attacks.
