    I also read that you were having trouble figuring out when to use b4b. Personally, I always use Int release and b4b together right after tumults and weight of the land. Be sure not to use it on the one right before the heart phase though (only seen if team dps is too low) because he will probably jump and go into heart phase while your buffs are still up and then you will lose dps because of wasted buff duration.

    Also, regarding your starting rotation, you are losing dps due to using demolish first. If you use the 2 Snap Punches first, then demolish you will get an 18 sec damage over time effect with an additional 18% damage from the 2 GL you build up with SP. Personally, this is how I start it:
    BS > Twin > SP > DK > Perfect Balance > Snap > Int Rel > Snap > B4B > Demolish > Steel Peak > DK > Howling Fist > Twin (then PB ends) > BS > True Strike > SP

    I wouldn't use ToD in the very beginning before the first geocrush, but after that you can pretty much keep it up full time.

    It's true that I'm still a bit hesitant with using B4B cause I don't want to die and then inconvenient the healer with ressing me. I mostly run with random PUGs so... I guess I was still playing way too safe as to not cause wipe unnecessarily like either not popping B4B when it's up or not hitting from the right side so plumes would be in a stack (cause all the PUGs I've run with have had trouble adapting to monk -.-, IDK what's so hard about avoiding one specific side of Titan that I've been hitting the whole time) or stay with the group during Geocrush. And I haven't posted any rotations here. :P I'll try yours out and see if I can achieve higher DPS. Thanks.

    the more you do titan, the better your timing will be. for me, the best time to use B4B(post heart) is right after 3 row bomb. between that and supert bomb stump you got about 15 sec ish. might have to right click to remove B4B before stump.

    I have a feeling some of the numbers are inflated or from statics kill attempts. if you pug/df you won't get to that high because of wipes and other interrupts.

    I have parsed this fight plenty of times in df/pug. The highest I see another DPS do is prob 288, drg. DRGs have a good time doing high dps in this fight. I can parse 285+ as drg regularly (ACT).

    monks are slightly disadvantaged but I can do 260-280 ish too.

    The pug/df average is probably 160-200 so that can be considered the "bad to terrible" range. FYI the shinra speedrun drg was doing top dps at 327.

    Personal best of 305~ as monk with without allagan weapon (including one gaol) - in a 7 man run, I normally average 270-290 depending on gaols. The speed kill damage is probably lower than what you can really get because considering how fast they kill it there's a much larger percent of time spent with titan invincible/untargetable compared to a regular kill.

    Hm, we sell with 2 DRGs and we both get around 305-ish with good RNG. Typically around 290 though due to gaols and random stuff.

    ... I do need to practice padding damage on bombs during egis though. Keke.

    Just thought I'd come in and thank you all. My best scenarios tend to be around 270 now and usually hover around 260. Gear has not changed much since besides replacing an i70 bracelet for i90 of slaying. Padding damage on the bombs to keep Greased Lightning 3 is an excellent idea.
