Sujet : Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

Something interesting i've seen recently is a JP Monk named Haruto Amata on fflogs always start their opener with ST - DM - DK - PB - Snap - B4B - Snap - IR - TwinS - Pot - Snap - EF - DK - HF - BS - FBC - TrueS - SP with ToD being used 30s into the fight after 2 BS rotations after the opener, instead of a usual Demo - Snap - Snap / Snap - Snap - Demo opener for PB. So far i've come to the conclusion it's not at all connected to their group composition at all since the NIN Suitons as the first GCD in an opener, gains no Balances, with the exception of the MCH's Hypercharge.

I'm not one for much of the number crunching etc, but it would seem to me from intuition it's more so for phase switches etc, or the Japanese know something that we don't at all (unless this had already been thrown up, then my bad entirely). I would be interested to see what people would come up in terms of number crunches etc with certain gear set-ups / fight instances.

That rotation seems to look at total potency instead of pps during the opener. But due to lack of fracture it's still behind. He wants DK up for the snaps as the 10% damage boost is better there than they are for Snap on DK. But even then he is going to delay his attack speed causing delay on one aa and a snap. He also misses the ToD with his cooldowns. Also, looking at FFlogs as well the number 1 on A7S is also from JP and uses demo snap snap. Even with a weird opener the difference between this opener and others is like 2 DPS if not less on A7S.

Not worth wasting PB attacks on Dk/Twin Snakes during Double Faust. The rotation he linked is better than that.

Then when would you do it? Surely you can't be saying that missing out on ts just for another rockbreaker is going to be a gain
Edit: if not in the perfect balance window then it should come up immediately after, before ogcds are used. I can't seem to find a reason to miss out on a 10% boost to FC.

It shouldn't be falling off as part of any opener, and "how bad it is" is "possibly more than 10x worse than the stuff people usually argue about like Demolish as first or third GCD".

Were are you planning on using fracture? DK -> Fracture -> TS -> Snap/Demo instead of DK -> TS -> Snap/Demo -> Fracture?

If we say that TS drops of for one second that would mean that the potency loss for it would be 15 for TS and 5 on AA so a total of 20 potency. I don't see at what point you would lose buffs by using it before TS. The rotation I use is PB -> Snap -> Snap -> Demo -> DK -> TS -> BfB -> Snap -> IR -> Bootshine -> Pot -> ToD -> EF -> True -> SP -> Snap -> HF -> DK -> FC -> TS -> Demo -> Fracture(IR drops after this) -> Bootshine -> ST(Pot + BfB drops after this)
