Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

I don't see why you would want to delay ToD and Fracture for 3 globals each just to use a True Strike which is less potency than both of them. All that would do is put you behind potency wise. Also, a snap punch would be even worse since the extra time on greased isn't required.

By using Demolish so soon to fit into trick attack, you'd be clipping two ticks at least of the first Demolish. I didn't do the math but is the 10% extra from TA worth all this clipping considering you can still do a fully buffed demolish in the next rotation?

Not sure what kind of skill speed you've got but it's pretty hard to clip demo by 2 ticks xD

what numbers are you guys hitting in your openers with form shifting? i stopped that crap long ago after a3s. im doing the 2.x opener and spiking higher (no food, no pt buff). I do (pb) snap snap demo (b4b) dk (IR) twins (pot) ToD (elixir) boot (howling) true (ST) snap (steel) dk (FC) twin fracture demo. last demo does lose IR but gets b4b and pot. i dont get TA since ive never had a nin in my group until now but an easy adjustment is doing demo snap snap at start and should get the other buffs fracture does get all buffs i could swap it couple gcd sooner before twin to get it into TA.

Shire chest: STR - 157, DET 82 +18 to 24 CRIT melded

EDIT: My numbers were off with the NEW new stat weights, recalculating.

NEW new weights - CRIT: .292, DET: .202, SkS: .190

Yes, the 260 coat is pretty bad and not worth a twine if you get through A11S, BUT...I bought it anyway.

Without it I wouldn't be able to wear certain other pieces and still hit the boss in the face, so while on it's own it has a lower weight, along with dropping accuracy elsewhere it altogether comes in higher, which is what you want when calculating BiS. Another few weeks and hopefully I'll have my Alexandrian, but until then this is how I stay at accuracy cap for the front, which is important in some cases where you just have to hit a face.

594 SS and Demolish has 3 seconds left when i reapply using that opener.

Then you're fine. You want to clip at 3 sec or less. I've heard that there's a chance you can miss a tick still if it refreshes early on at the 3 sec mark due to latency or something but that's still only 1 tick missed if it's true. It doesn't tick at 0, otherwise we'd try to refresh it there more often. Demo ticks are too good to miss out on most of the time

The reason you can miss a tick is that all dot ticks are on a server-side timer, and this tick occurs every 3 seconds whether you have any dots up or not. (I.e. The first dot tick of demo can be anywhere in the first 3 seconds of you applying the dot, depending on where the server tick is when you apply it.)
