The Monk Temple Reborn

With increased Skill Speed, and the fact that they probably didn't spam the buttons for that video, might make what I said useless, but rather use the stopwatch for just the wait between the new ability and Snap Punch, even with slow reaction from me, I'm only getting <1.4 seconds between them, and I really doubt we will see that massive of an increase in Skill Speed

the GCD timing is started right at the beginning of when you hit the skill, not when the effect goes through, you can try using rockbreaker in particular on a dummy and notice that by the time the damage hits, the GCD is almost half done already

EDIT: just rewatched the skills video a few times and it does seem a little on the fast side, not sure if its too fast though, he does have GL1 at that point so it would help a little, my guess is however the animation wasnt properly aligned with the skill timing when they made the video, but i guess time will tell

In the video the MNK used PB pre pull, thats why he could go Rockbreaker into Snap Punch

I didn't mean that, I meant the time it took for that MNK to use Snap Punch after using the new ability...

If an ability is on the GCD, you have to wait somewhere between 2-2.5 seconds before you can use the next ability that is on the GCD too. (currently in the game)

The MNK didn't even have 3 stacks of GL for further increase of attack speed, but he still could use Snap Punch within less than 1.5 seconds after the new ability.

Maybe we will get some ridiculous increase in Skill Speed, but that seems really far-fetched. That TP drain.... lol

I'm not entirely familiar with all MNK animations, so I may have problems identifying which is which, but I can say confidently that every new skill they showed in the Job Actions video is oGCD. Reason being, weaponskill animations show an orange circle coming from the characters feet - whereas oGCD abilities show a blue twister engulfing the character. So if they used Chakra in that video, it's most definitely oGCD.

Wow... Didn't even know that lol

Looked it up, and yeah... All oGCD abilites have the same "base" animation and GCD abilities all have the same base animation too, but different. So I think it's pretty safe to say that the ability we see there, is oGCD. Every ability we have seen on that vid(for all jobs), have been identified and explained to some degree, so I highly highly doubt it's an ability we haven't heard of yet.

i wouldnt be to sure, i forgot exactly where i saw it, think it was live letter notes (might try and find it later if i have time) but their exact wording was "at least five skills" being added to every class, monk could be one of those exceptions getting more than 5, i dont think that will be the case but you never know.

That's not what I meant, sorry. I meant that out of all the abilities we saw in that job video, we know about every single one of them. There isn't a single ability that is unclear what it is. All the uncertainties of that sort, comes from potential abilities that we didn't see.

We already know MNK will get at least 6 abilities btw, and was said that we were to get a ranged attack too, which would bring it up to 7. Doubt we would get 6-7 abilities, and then a 7-8th ability that we know nothing about, and still was showed on that video.

EDIT: After all, Yoshi-P talked about Chakra after we had seen that video, as well as Tornado Kick and Forbidden Chakra, which is the other 2 abilities in that video. Don't think he mentioned abilities that wasn't on the video, except maybe for the new jobs who have a ton of abilities ofc

i went over most of the monk animations, and the spiral under your characters feet isnt an absolute rule, arm of the destroyer has a blue mark, steel peak has a yellow mark, which is opposite to what this rule is supposed to be, i wouldnt throw out the idea of using that to get an idea of skills in the future though, i just dont know how well it can be trusted, especially with skills yet to be officially released.
