To the Monks: I'm curious about some of the tactics and/or rotations you're using as I think we'll find that all of us do things a little different. Lets not get too deep into discussion and criticism of others here...lets just post what WE are doing and and short reasoning if you feel the need. I'm also curious who favors which fist(s) and if you like to change during different fights.

I prefer Fists of Fire. I tested damage between fire/wind and surprisingly the damage difference in a real fight was unnoticeable.

I've seen some people who don't go from rear to flank when attacking. I personally do my rear attacks and then transition to flank before finally doing my damage over time abilities (demolish, touch of death, fracture) with internal release and greased lightning 3 up. Working on blood 4 blood currently.

I usually save Mantra until things look to be going sour for party/tank. I don't use it all the time. I generally burn instant damage abilities after their cooldown unless a fight requires me to hold them for certain moments (like burning adds quickly).
Also, I've utilized our silence ability to some success in coil turn 2 by spamming it when in opo opo form in order to keep nodes silenced longer and keep them from using high voltage when they'd normally be able to...
