2 button MNK macro?

[Tzain]

I'd say;
Flank
/ac "snap punch"
/ac "twin snakes"

Rear
/ac "demolish"
/ac "true strike"

works fine, just don't include Dragon Kick or Bootshine in your macro, it can mess up too much.

looks legit. basically just a button consolidation. I'll have to give that a try.

(side note, that Magi gif is strangely hypnotic. Now I want fish.)

Macros will always yield sub-optimal results. Do yourself a favor, and learn to play without them.

I understand what you're saying, and I'mma let you finish,

BUT

With mantra being level 42 and available as cross class, there are a lot of people who end up leveling pugilist/monk all the way to 42 without any intention to actually play the class after that.
Before you get all your skills and enough skillspeed, a lot of the advice I see people give just doesn't apply.

Any chance that you could share your xhotbar set ups? I'm on PS3 and have had to map some of my weaponskills to D-Pad buttons which I hate. I switched to MNK for my Coil team and am still optimizing.

One thing I found to be a massive help was the additional L2+R2 Crossbar you can set up. I have all my AoE attacks set to that in addition to long cooldown abilities and Fists of Fire/Earth. That way you free up your regularly used abilities for L2 and R2.
