My monk parse sucks for what my gear is. Someone help me twT

[Blueskyy]

Hmm I'm not sure, but Det really affects your DMG output. And the way you reply people is just so unfriendly maybe that's why your "great friend" don't bother helping you
I'm just gonna post my stats and opener and gtfo as idw to read any hostile comments you reply me.
My MNK ilvl 120. Ilvl 115 weap
Str 608 crit 462 det 328 ss483

My parse is about 499-503

My opener (standard opener without caring about SS, but can add few more BS if ss allows)
Tackle>PB>SP(IR)>SP(BFB)>DEMO>TWIN>DK(Steal)>SP>BS
I dont use any pots for parsing so i dont know my max dps with pots

PS I also wanna note that Opener can defer slightly if you have higher or lower ss MNK dont have a standard opener

Increase you gear to 130, you won't be doing to much more with a 115 weapon.

Kind of weird op posts asking for help then responds in such a hostile tone to everyone taking time out of their day to respond.

Weapon ilvl affects the most. I can do 540 with i108 drg with i135 weapon over 3 minutes, but when I changed to i115 weapon with the same rotation, it drops to 460 (my main isn't a DRG, so my dps was terrible LOL)

[Galdous]

Man seeing such high numbers and I thought 420-430 I parse was good. Guess I should try other jobs.

Are you using a controller?

I play on PC and use a controller. Until recently I'd fight without locking on to the enemy, because nothing felt more awkward and stiff than using that function, backpedaling and terrible camera angles and all.

While I still parsed decently, I was still quite below the 600+ DPS threshold, even on a training dummy at i128 with zeta. I also figured that while running around to hit positionals, I'd just spam my next GCD button with 'automatically face stuff when ya hit buttons' selected so I wouldn't miss auto-attacks, but it seems that doesn't work so well.

A few days ago I tested to see if locking on would change anything, and suddenly my numbers started looking a lot more like they should - 600-610.

Maybe this can help.

get a better weapon.

ilvl does not mean shit.

ok first of all try with party buff (go to summerford farms summon your companion and try it then) second read up on openers in the monk thread opener doesnt make or break a 5 min parse but it is 1-2% none the less. also if you are holding out for 5 min then sry but you doing something wrong i main monk and holding out for 3-4 min is hard enough so i do not know how you hold out for 5 xD i know its a big thread but reading up on it will help you out.
my opener for reference is
Shoulder tackle--> ToD--> PB-->Demo-->ppp-->SP-->SP-->BfB--->DK-->IR-->TS-->X-pot-->booth-->true-->Demo-->Fracture(memo1)-->DK-->TS-->SP-->ToD(memo nr2)-->lalalalala xD

Memo1. if you dont want to dont use fracture at all and if you have enough SS and fight didnt requier any doging in the first few seconds... then use fracture before Demo otherwise you clip demo at +-3 seconds if you use fracture before demo it should be cliped at around 1 second.

Memo2. use TOD on last 2-3 sec of pot and bfb i should be on that stage of the rotation maybe 1 skill earlier dont remember.

I understand the OP's frustration with this issue--a perceived lower than average DPS parse can be very confusing and discouraging.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for anyone to provide solid advice that is specific enough to satisfy your needs without a real demonstration of exactly what you're doing. Like many others have said, we need a demo of your rotation and execution.

After having gone through the posts here however, I trust that you do know what you are doing. But only one thing puzzles me and that is the length of your parses.

From personal experience and numerous parses, my MNK lasts exactly 4:16 at 388 SS. Like you, my invigorates are on time and by the time I'm running rock bottom dry on TP, my third Invigorate is only halfway through its cooldown and I have to delay my GCDs as I wait for my next tick of TP regeneration. At this point it is natural to stop the parse. For you to go 5 whole minutes is catastrophic for your DPS (without goad). This is the only point where I can discern anything you might doing wrong. You said that your actions per minute are adequate and you are queuing commands as appropriate. If this is true, and your connection speed is average, you should be absolutely drained, dry, depleted, what have you, of ALL TP shortly after the 4 minute mark, else wise something, and not necessarily you yourself, is fundamentally wrong.

Give us a video or ask someone you know to record you so we can help.

My first question: Are you on PS4.

Why does PS4 matter?
Gee, I wish I knew. I'm doing Monk just fine and I could barely scratch 500 DPS in T10, T11 and T12(Before the echo, because screw echo.)
Why, with these stats:
i130, i135 WEP
660 STR
439 CRIT
414 DET
375 SPEED
do I barely hit 500 DPS. What am I doing wrong?

Some friends say it's because I'm PS4, my controller offers latency. But as you, I press my skills before the GCD is even ready to reset. And yes I am nailing positions perfectly, it's a bloody bad habit at this point.



I am doing similar to you, though my opener is a bit different.

TOD >>> PB > Demo > BFB/IR > SP > BFB/IR > SP > Howling/Peak > DK > Howling/Peak > Twin
Yes, I do fit ALL of this^ within a single PB. How I do this is simply using PB just as my GCD resets after TOD.

My skill speed is 375. I wanted to lower my speed to 360 but I absolutely need to bump it to 375 to accomplish this.
Spoiler: I hate Skill Speed.
