    Monk, Expected DPS, and Encounters

    Hello, all.

    I was wondering if a 'good' monk could post a SS of their DPS on dummies. The theoretical 'perfect conditions' to see where I stand.

    Recently, ever since Titan EX, I have been in a rut with my MNK DPS. I see posts here people saying they can do 300+ in lower ilv gear than me, whereas I rarely break 220 on the fight if only gaol'd once or twice.

    In an effort to try and figure out what I'm doing wrong, I feel like I have been up and down these and other forums, visited the BLITZBALL website, and been constantly doing any and all types of dungeons/trials and CT to see where I stand, what I'm doing wrong, where I can improve, etc.

    I've tried to time my strikes to keep GL3 through a Titan jump, and even when conditions seemed 'perfect' to me, I was unable to keep them. So I'm a bit skeptical that people on this forum just say, "any good monk will keep their GL3 stacks on EX" (by perfect condition, I mean I was hitting Twin Snakes as Titan jumped in the air, at this point there is 7 seconds left on GL. The ACT plug-in, by default, will split encounters where there is a gap of 6 seconds or more between and it splits each titan phase into a separate encounter)

    As a personal preference would the monk community say it's better to use Twin Snakes to refresh the buff if it will fall off in the next 1-5 seconds, or to use True Strike and do 1-2 strikes without the buff?

    Here is the most recent dummy parse I did. The philosophy was opening with Perfect Balance, ignoring buffs prior to GL3 stacks then priority:
    1. Keep GL3 up (moot on a dummy)
    2. Keep Dragon Kick buff up
    3. Keep dots up(no clipping)
    4. Keep Twin Snakes buff up
    5. Use Steel Peak/Howling Fist on cooldown(preferably paired with Blood for Blood and Internal Release)


    I have Fracture, but I dropped it from my bars completely. It appeared to lower my DPS when using.




    TL;DR

    Good/Excellent Monks please post parsers on dummies and your gear so I can see if I'm doing something horribly wrong and if my priorities are out of whack. Thank you.





    Concerned with getting my acct banned I won't post SS of my gear and stats but..

    The below parse is with:

    Spharai +1(Zenith) ilv88
    STR - 475
    DET - 245
    CRT - 452
    SSP - 490
