Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

**_ray_** · 07-13-2016 06:46 PM

Couple of questions relating to my ilvl 233 Monk with 235 weapon.

Do I need to stay in rear position till demolish animation is finished or I can move to flank while its still active ? Same with dragon kick.

Is it OK to clip demolish/twinsnake/dragonkick effects or wait for them to fall off and re-apply ?

Finally, is my current dps of 1926 on AS8 dummy acceptable for my ilvl ?

Thanks.

The moment a positional weaponskill is activated (i.e. when the GCD starts counting down; if you are queueing like you should, this may be up to 300ms later) is when the positional is determined. You can move out of position as soon as the GCD is spinning. Note that most cases of a target appearing to turn is strictly aesthetic; with few exceptions--though Brawler seems to be a significant exception--mobs more or less turn instantly on the server side, only facing the other way for the duration of their special back-row-attacking animation. This is pretty hard to prove; I'm just saying this as someone who used to be required to get positionals on Melusine, whose rotation lined up with mine not at all.

Dragon Kick and Twin Snakes should be clipped. Demolish should be clipped slightly under normal circumstances. Please note that Demolish's animation is long and the DoT is only applied at the end of it, so clipping at "4" seconds is not as drastic as it may appear.

Sorry for my bad englisch first. I am ilvl 236 now and my static cleared a5s couple of weeks ago. But i can online do about 1300 dps, which seems really low. I am doing positionals right, almost no dot-clipping, i am using Tornado-Kick during boost. I have noch idea how to do more dps..

That's the average DPS in A5S, considering you also don't have a 240 weapon and I'm pretty sure most people in your group doesn't that DPS is enough. To get a higher damage parse would require using aoe on the pigs and then killing the boss right after and once the party DPS is high enough you can push the first boost for even more DPS. But taking into consideration you recently beat it getting a really high parse is going to take some time.

Also, it's quite hard for us to give feedback without any data to look at.

We are killing the adds with Caster-LB. Our SMN is doing about 1,5-1,6k dps, thats why I think ich should do more.

My IG Name ist Chillin Bob, if you want to take a look.

Without pushing boost and padding on the adds you're not going to surpass the summoner that well considering summoners have 90% uptime on damage as their dots deal a lot of damage and last for quite a while meaning that he deals damage even when you can't attack. Comparing your best run to mine, both with the same clear time. The most noteable thing I see is the lack of IR uses, mine had 7 vs your 4. Considering that IR is the strongest buff(Around 16%) other than GL3 it's missed damage. The second thing I notice is that you miss a lot of bootshine positionals, 92% vs 67%. You can take a look at it here: http://www.fflogs.com/reports/compar...ne&source=19,8 Do mind that my run was at i236 and i240 weapon so don't look at the damage but rather at hits and percentages.

Oh, I see. Well, it's hard for me sometimes to see, if I am standing at the back when the boss is small. Maybe I have to do some UI adjustments

Quick question. I have pretty high latency and whenever I use my Pot (after DK) I clip my GCD for maybe about a second. So basically I just stand there for 0.5-1 second doing nothing while I wait for Twin Snakes to hit.

Do you think it would be better for me to pop the pot just before the tank pulls/Shoulder Tackle. or just roll with the clipping? Thanks.

Roll with the clipping. Move the pot to after twin snakes though just so you're not missing any auto attacks buff'd by it.

Actually the more i think about it, the weirder it sounds. What are you doing for your opener? Popping a pot before the pull shouldn't really be an option

Yeah thats what I thought. I'm doing:
Shoulder > Demo > PB > Snap > IR > Snap > B4B > DK > Pot > Twin > Elixir > Snap > Howling > ToD > Steel > Bootshine > Forbidden > ....
