It got taken down. Elixir Field is 220 potency on a 30s CD, Tornado Kick is 330 potency on a 60s CD, and Purification is 300TP on a 180s CD (I think it was 180s at least...maybe it was 120).

Edit - It's 120s on Purification. Found an update posting with a lot of the moves that have been screenshoted.

With Skill Speed Builds it looks like Demo is going be used once every 4 Rotations instead of 3 now.

So Snap > Snap > Snap > Demo. That's nice I guess, no more 2 Demos per B4B though.

Tornado Kick got that nerf already, probably saw that it would be abused by having Monks just blow GL3 every minute, so I guess were back to holding it until the Invincible phase which works for me. Elixer Drive every 30seconds sounds a little crazy, thats 279 Extra Potency every 30 Seconds. Just wanna see what Meditation is looking like, wonder if there are any more pictures laying around..

Have to wonder if the 330 potency on Tornado Kick gets the 27% GL bonus applied, or if it's consumed first. I'd guess the former?

Yeah, we really need the info on Meditation to really understand how that will change things.

Not to incite some negativity or anything but doesn't it seem like MNK isn't getting much potency added to their rotation compared to other classes? Unless Featherfoot becomes a DPS boost or Chakra does some hidden effect, I'm personally not seeing what will take level 50 MNK who is 1st or 2nd in DPS, while giving the ever loved Dragon Kick but relatively low on contributed DPS, to level 60 MNK in the same position.

Again not trying to assume that but from the numbers it kind of looks it to me so far.

I know what you mean, it doesn't seem like our main "rotation" has really changed much. Elixir Field is one new OGCD, apart from that the other stuff is a bit niche. Especially Tornado Kick. Forbidden Chakra could be the dealbreaker here, but it's hard to say until we know more about Meditation/Chakra stacks. If we can weave, what its cooldown is etc. Another thing to take into account is the changes to Crit and Skill speed. As Monk tends to have the most crits and highest skill speed we might see a big jump from that contribution alone.

It's really going to come down to if Meditate is actually a GCD or if it's oGCD with a short cooldown. If it's oGCD with a shortish cooldown then we'd be using Forbidden Chakra with more frequency. We also still don't have a hard number on it's potency either.

Yea the changes to crit and ss will be huge for monks imo. Dat 30% internal release.

Tornado kick: 330 potency, 60s cd, consume GL3
seems like tornado kick got nerfed prety hard since the france tour, which shouldnt be surprising

well i think it's quite normal if you think about it between twin snakes that give +10% of damage, GL that grants +27% of damage and the dragon kick reduction of defense against the blunt damage of 10%. a skill at 500 potency was insane. especially if you add the boost of damage from the scholar and the vunerability of 10% of TA.

i have always feel that monk was lacking OGCD skill, all this add are more than welcome if you think about it. the combo/stance of the monk are by far the smoothest and fluider of all the melee dps.
