How to Monk (50 onry)

[Rapiso]

Can you elaborate on that a bit?

ID+ID+ID = 180+180+180
compare that to
BS+true+SP

BS>ID in terms of dps due to the guaranteed crit
SP=ID both are 180

So it boils down to the question can the 30 extra potency from ID>TrueS compensate for the dmg loss on BS and the 5% lower crit chance? I think this should be really close. Honest question.

Assuming you have 12% crit chance



So ID rotation is slightly better, but cost way more TP.
The BS/TrS roation is more TP efficient, but you lack of windows to refresh ToD/Fracture.

Almalexia posts a great comparison

What? The ID rotation is MUCH tighter. Not only have you not refreshed the Twin Snakes buff with one cycle, but you haven't refreshed GL3 either.
With BS/TrS, you may drop the 10% buff. With ID, you WILL lose GL3.
If you take off one ID to give time for dots, the ID rotation loses its dps advantage.

? Okay.

Have you done the math ?

No, but on a basic comparison level - the difference between ID and, say DK (the next ability in the cycle), is more than 10%. The BS-TrS loses about 15 potency from applying a dot. I know there's more involved than that but I can't see the ID losing less than 15 potency when taking out an ID from the rotation.

I'd love to see it properly simulated though.
