Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

**Raykh** · 04-24-2016 08:00 AM

I'm going to switch to MNK real soon. Can anyone tell me the BiS without savage gear?
Is it just straight up all lore or a mixture of lore & midas gear?

Why bother worrying about BiS if you have no intention of using savage gear? But yeah, it's just lore/midas nm stuff.

I'm not worrying about it.
I just want to get as much as currently possible (for my circumstances) out of my class (raiding is not an option for me at the moment).

Depending on what content you're planning to do and how much acc you need it's either all lore if you need acc or lore mixed with nm and pentamelded crafted.

So this really comes down to preference and how u wanna play. For instance I put the LB where it is cus it seems out of the way enough(not a face button) but still easy enough to get to without fucking up.

Uhh.. I avoid puting my rotation abilities on face buttons, this is bad, don't to it. u wanna put boot/DK/twin/true/snap/demo/rockbreaker(debatable) on your face buttons so u can ensure that u will be able to use them while moving and if u cant well thats some DPS lost, sometimes a lot.

I personally have everything on one hotbar, besides sprint and the fisties. this is preference, i do not wanna switch hotbars while monking, its very fast paced and i got other shit to worry about. although i do use my 2nd hotbar for pvp too, and i hate it personally, it fucks me up.

So I use expanded hotbars a lot. They're a bit tough to get use to and i admit i use invigorate sometimes when i mean to use perfect balance and i have wasted countless pots thinking i was using mantra.. maybe im just sloppy.

do what u want. find a pattern with ur hands that u wanna work with and go from there. and dont be afraid to try new layouts, u will adapt quickly with practice.

L = left hotbar
R= right hotbar

R-O - boot
R-X - true
R-[] - twin
R-tri - snap
R-> - internal release
R-down - fracture
R-< - touch
R-^ - b4b

L-O - demo
L-X - rockbreacker
L-[] - elixir
L-tri - dragon kick
L-> - LB
L-down - howling
L-< - steel peak
L-up - shoulder

Expanded.
R-O - tornado
R-X - arm
R-< - form shift
R-tri - perfect balance
R> - pot

L-O - purification
L-X - second wind
L-[] - chakra
L-tri - invigorate
L-> - mercy stroke
L-down - featherfoot
L-< - mantra
L-^ - bloodbath

I don't really think controller set up matters on monk. Not many different skills that you have to use constantly and you'll have to commit it to muscle memory anyway. But if you're looking to make it easy i'd say put your bs, true, snap, and demo on the R2 side( assuming you're on ps4) of your hotbar on x, triangle, square, circle and put DK, ts, form shift and chakra the same way on the L2 side. That way you can do all of those while moving. The rest of it is up to you. But like I said, it really doesn't matter. All my main skills are all spread out it wierd places( I just kept them where ever the game decided to put them) and I do just fine. My chakra and form shift aren't even on the main hotbar

I've got another question! I was in a party with another Monk on Seph Ex and she asked if I was using Lock on, to which I answered no, and she said that I was losing a lot of DPS without it. Is it true? How imperative is it because I'm pretty sure I am hitting all my auto-attacks (or is the animations just for show?), and using Lock-on really screws up my sense of perspective in a fight when I have to move around a lot.

You won't auto attack if you're not facing your target, if you don't strafe you're going to lose DPS. If you were going to auto attack when you were moving it's going to be delayed by the amount you move. For MNK moving for every positional that's a lot of missed auto attacks.
