Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

**Ossom** · 04-26-2016 11:26 AM

If you are playing on a ps4 and playing a melee class then you need to lockon when moving or you are losing autoattacks. Even if you are hitting an attack. It is painfully obvious when a ps4 player isn't locking on because it is a Huge DPS Nerf. You should lock on if you want to optimize DPS. Especially for Monks where so much of our DPS comes from our Auto Attacks, it's an even bigger nerf.

When you should you be locked on and when should you not be?

If you are moving around for positionals then you need to be locked on.

If you are moving away from the boss to do a mechanic then you don't need to be locked on.

If you are side stepping an AoE but staying in range of the boss you should be locked on.

If you are dodging an AoE but not staying in range of the boss then you shouldn't be locked on.

Now if you don't want to lock on, its fine, it's not going to stop you from enjoying the game. But it will be obvious to anyone who is using that program, especially if you are trying to join a raid group and doing tryouts or something.

Refresh greased lightning before the boss jumps if you have to go inside a dps cage, if possible don't go in the dps cage with the prey and you'll have to use purifications.

Make other people in your group do your jail mechanic, it's a DPS increase, charge chakra whenever there's movement and you know you won't lose GL, use the chakra for purification. If your group does your mechanics you're going to have a high amount of uptime and it's a 12 min fight so getting as much TP back as possible is important.

I would love to have some advise on my current Monk build and what to spend my lore on after I get my lore weapon next week? I plan to go into A5S after I get my weapon but I'm not sure if I should swap some pieces out.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TZXX (I do not have the melds on my Arm and Belt gear right now but will do soon)
I can't kill the A7S dummy (No Food or Pots) just yet but I am very close, I'm not sure if that is good or bad with this build right now.
I feel like my Critical Rate might actually be too high here, as well as my Spell Speed. I used to have a lot more Determination when I was a few ilevels lower and I don't feel much of a DPS increase with this build.

As for lore pieces I would probably say go Earring > Bracelet > Gloves > Legs. If the pieces you got only have a stat weight difference of 2-3 str the difference in DPS is something like 4-5, considering that a dummy parse can vary a lot more than that it's very hard to notice it until you got a couple of pieces. The biggest difference you're going to see is the weapon upgrade which is going to increase your DPS by about 40.

When you are hitting the boss and then, because of mechanics, you need to stop dps and focus on something else and after that you return back to boss with Coeurl form (dragon kick and dots are gone already), what you usually do for maximum dps? Apply Dragon kick first and then dots: Snap>DK>TS>Demo>ToS or just skip Dragon kick and apply all the dots first: Demo>ToS>DK>TS>Snap?

GL3 and Twin Snakes are the biggest buff for Demo IIRC. Even if Dragon Kick isn't up, do Demolish over Snap.

i always go for maximum up time for demo but i'll save ToD for when i'm in gl3 and DK and TS are up. So in that situation i'd do demo> DK> TS> ToD> snap if i didn't lose stacks. Generally though, twin snakes is always up if i don't lose stacks. If i lost GL3 then i'd just start with demo and do the normal rotation and then apply ToD when i hit gl3

I'm 230, and I can't seem to break 1.8k on hummelfaust. Any tips? I mean, I know the DPS is fine, but i'm pretty sure I can do more. I'm using Pirapira(staff too expensive) and Drac pot.
