An idea move for Monk

[Zamii]

PB also wouldn't be useless as you could use it to burst instead of building stacks by chaining boothshines or true strike depending on your crit rate

ok im just going to clear up one of the most common misconceptions about monk right here, perfect balance as a "burst skill" is actually a dps lose, you inevitably end up loosing dragon kick and twin snakes, the only time this would be useful is at the very last second of a boss fight where if they fall off afterward it wont matter anyway.
that being said i'll say it now because i know someone will try to correct me if i dont, it is possible to change a single gcd via PB and still receive a dps increase, although i hardly see changing out a single gcd being considered a "burst skill"

You are very much correct that there is little point in spamming with PB because you will lose DK and Twin.

The only time I spam with PB is in places like T4 where there is 5+ enemies and I think I can spam Rockbreaker and not kill myself with the TP loss.

Why are you talking DPS when I said burst. When people say burst they mean adds that need to die in less than 10 seconds or really anything you need to spike down. I'm not talking about spiking a boss.

And why did you choose to cut that quote conveniently leaving out the other use, which would be aoe spam for adds phases.

The point is, PB still has uses besides getting back to GL3, it's just that right now we can't afford to use it that way.

i didnt really intend of having it seen that way, im in no way denying that its a good skill for AoE, but that is seperate to burst imho.
