PUG/MNK Optimization

This is absolutely insane, the amount of monks that i see that don't stack their dots or refresh them and don't positional combat is far too high. The insane damage potential of twin snakes and snap punch from flank combined with bootshine and true strike from behind is just too much to keep passing up throughout an entire encounter.

Insane damage potential of true strike? You must be confused on that one.

Love how you ignore my statement of "insane damage potential" followed by me mentioning the combination of the entire monk skillset, and chose to mention one ability just to make yourself feel special or derail my comment. Incase you were confused, i was talking about the insane damage potential of the entire skill set of monks when used PROPERLY. Most monks do not use their skillset properly. Also, ignoring the 5% crit chance on true strike from behind is just being plain old lazy.

Sorry but 10 potency and 5% crit on any fight where there is a risk of losing 5% damage buff. So unless stacking the hell out of SS and/or the boss is being really nice and not hitting you with anything it is not going to work out.

Can anyone translate? Maybe I'm a bit tired but, idk.

If your speed-skill is not high enough (need below 2.0 GCD) your Twin Snakes buff will drop before you cast Twin Snakes again.
You lose 10% damage for x seconds and you lose 10% damage on every GCD used during those seconds + any auto attacks. It's a major dps loss even if one GCD and one autoattack go off during the period you do not have Twin Snakes buff online.
