Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

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.

Replace SP with Rockbreaker, open with Demolish Demolish, get two TFCs instead of one while maintaining GL3.

Hmm even without A mch or and Nin in the group if you're mostly all 230 with 230 weapon you should be breaking 1800 most of the time, i mean for comparison im at ilvl 225 / 230 weapon and i break 1800 with only using same food as you but only Xpot of str ive broken 1972 with mch and nin in the party,
So my only guess is maybe your opener on the two fausts is not 100% optimized and maybe you're reapplying dots with not enough up time on the 2 fausts which would then end up in a waste of dps cause as long as you are keeping your greased lighting 3 for hummelfaust i cant see how anyone could go wrong there assuming your single target rotation is spot on.
If we could see a timeline from FFlogs maybe we can spot where you might be.

Would my best one be acceptable?

Hey guys, I just got level 60 with my monk, Which will be the order to buy lore items in order to have the acc 700 for doing raids?

You won't need 700 until you reach a8s and you'll want to have a mix of savage and lore gear. Just shoot for about 650 to get started on a5. You'll want to get your lore weapon as soon as you can. I believe Midas normal pants have a good amount of accuracy.

Hey guys,

New to Monk, got myself a few questions.

Basically:

1) Which of the rotations in the OP is the most usable and with better DPS?
2) Boss jumped or became untargetable, and with it, you lost GL. Once you get back at it, with possibly 1 stack of GL (since you change to coeurl form), should you apply dots before reaching GL3?
3) Between your chakra stacks and monk forms, while you are on downtime, which one do you prioritize? I often cannot do both and in the end I only get a couple of stacks but with coeurl form.
4) I often see myself instantly using offensive CDs (BfB, IR). With that in mind, sometimes I end up refreshing ToD or Demolish without those CDs. Should I wait until for the CDs to become available to then refresh dots? Implying that these cooldowns have 5 seconds or less to be able to use again.
4.1) Also, should I delay the use of OGCD skills (elixir field, etc) to 'link' them with IR/BfB? (keep in mind previous question).

Thanks in advance!

1) Depends on fight.
2) If you don't have PB then Yes
3) Do you think you're going to keep GL? Go for chakra else go for Couerl
4) No
4.1) No

Hi, I wanna start gearing my Monk. I already have all 230 accessories. What should be my priority for my left side? I'm willing to spend gil to buy crafted gear.
