I also have not been raiding much since echo came out especially the jump to 15%. So I don't have any numbers either.

The jumping kick and uppercut are exciting.

From the live letter:

Meditation - Stackable buff up to 5 stacks. Like warrior wrath stacks, you can execute new actions with these stacks.

You can consume your meditation stacks to recover TP. So I suppose it's a choice between using meditation stacks for more dps or recovering TP.

When a boss jumps in the air, new actions will come into play for a chance to maintain GL3 (I didn't understand this part very well, and they talked about a couple more things I didn't get).

I think the idea is to spend gl3 on a burst skill right before boss becomes invulnerable

But they said mantra/meditation stacks are for burst?

Im confused

I heard something about meditation can be used to recover TP like the stacks of it. Or probably buff up your damage.

I hope that you can use it to extend the duration of your gl but hey I think that would probably be OP. It seems that our rotation didnt change that much....there are added stuff but hey! im excited for this

They said that Meditation can be used either to burst DPS or to regen TP. Whether the ability that consumes GL3 to be a burst is also a Meditation skill remains to be seen. But basically, if you're going to lose GL3 anyway, no reason not to burst it. Alternately, if you're the only melee in the group, burst and then LB.

The original concept for monk was to maintain Greased Lightning III, but instead of adding actions to aid in maintaining this effect, we added technical elements where you can utilize Greased Lightning and also made adjustments to eliminate the downtime during phases or mechanics of a boss where you can’t do anything.

We’ll be adding a system known as Chakra. You’ll be able to gain up to 5 stacks of Chakra, and once reaching the maximum amount you’ll be able to execute a high damage weapon skill. Additionally, you’ll be able to use Chakra to restore TP to yourself. Furthermore, there will be an ability that will allow you to change your form and a weapon skill that consumes Greased Lightning.

With all of these new elements, you’ll be able to spend your Greased Lightning right before a boss becomes invulnerable, progress through your forms while saving up Chakra until you can attack again, and then gain Greased Lightning again. With this, there will be no downtime.

I'm just curious about in what world a skill is going to be worth losing 27% damage buff and 15% attack speed. It's going to be massive in damage to warrant it, or getting back to GL3 without PB is going to be much shorter.

well it's for us to use when we are 100% sure we are gonna drop gl3 like there's absolute no way of keeping it up because we cant hit anything to keep it
