Monk rotation now?

Well, I only spent 20 minutes poking at various approaches, but that seems like a "winner for now" -- honestly not much different than a pre-2.1 approach. On the side, there's actually another significantly more convoluted timing for TD/FR that gets +0.1 more PPS, but it's not even worth typing.

That's why i said "most sensible" It's not the most damaging one, but the one that makes most sense.

If you use TD every time it drops immediately, and you only use 1 off-cycle attack (FR) for DK-cycles (2 sets) -- in other words, for DK-cycles where you DON'T use TD, you use FR instead, then you can gain the +0.1 more PPS. #notworth.

This basically requires that you track how many attacks you are using within a DK cycle, and you can't just use the off-cycle attack at the same time in the cycle (e.g. "right before DK") -- you need to stagger it earlier and earlier until you get a TD span overlap that allows a FR, and then you need to make sure you don't use 2 off-cycle attacks between DKs. It's kind of only reasonable on paper.

That's not what i meant. What if you just apply TD immediately when it runs out and ignore FR completely. You calculated it for just using 1 TD every 6 cycles, but TD should run out every 5 cycles (assuming your global cooldown is 2 seconds).

That's a DPS loss: you're comparing 98%ish uptime of TD versus 70% uptime of TD plus 40% uptime of FR. The latter wins for DPS.

I'll double check; yeah, it's 162.4. 0.4pps is not a super meaningful DPS loss, so that is worth considering to drop Fracture for (a) pure TP efficiency (you save ~5.5% TP / can burn 5.5% longer), (b) simplicity re: hotkeys and priority rulesets, and (c) xclass skill slots.

Great, that's what i wanted to know. Thanks a lot.
