Monk, Expected DPS, and Encounters

[xEscaflownex]

I have no idea how you managed to achieve 330+ dps at ilv83 with Flank Only, Esca. Cause everything I've done has proven otherwise.

Hmm, not sure what you are doing differently on the flank only parses, you can see I didn't use any other skills =/.

All I did was hit Perfect Balance, Spam Snap Punch x4 during it's duration, weaving in Internal Release, Blood for Blood, Steel Peak, and Howling Fist between each, then just repeating the Dragon Kick/Twin Snakes/Snap Punch combo over and over, using Steel Peak/Howling Fist on CD

i83 Gear being Hellish Claws, DL Head, CT Body, Allagan Gloves, Belt, CT Legs, Gryphonskin Feet (no materia melded), Allagan Neck, Titan Earring, Ifrit Wrist, Garuda Ring, DL ring of Striking

I'm not saying this is good, I'm just saying that with better gear and using correct rotation you should be able to get way higher than this I would think.
