When to pop buffs (monk)

[Jeremias]

what i do is:

st > frac > (wait til gcd is halfway) > pb > demo > snap > snap > bfb > dk > ir > ts > xpot > boot > peak > true > howl > demo > tod > frac > flank combo, etc.

you get gl3 and ts on yourself, dk debuff + fully buffed dots (demo, tod, frac) on target.

i wait til half gcd before popping pb so i don't end up short with just 4 skills in pb by accident.

i use frac instead of tod after shoulder tackle because i would just apply a fully buffed one after pb ends. if i did use tod there i would just end up clipping it.

i use 2nd frac after pb opener with all my buffs active because fracture is worth it if you have buffs (specially ir) up, instead of using dk on that part.

You use Fracture? I've had a DPS loss time after time parsing with it. not to mention the huge TP drain it causes.

i use it as fluff because sometimes my next skill is bootshine while i still have 2s of internal release left and it would be a waste to use it on a bootshine. i rarely use fracture outside of that situation which is like basically when stars align in the universe

Good reasoning sir!
