You don't have to survive it. During one of my group's worse runs, we had our SMN (who was on brink of death) sacrifice himself twice lol

Oh right, for some reason I thought the DoT was 40 instead of 50. I stand corrected ^^

Will edit my post when i get home!

Is it a big dps loss to use the 2.0 opener as opposed to the form shift opener?

you don't need to form shift to do the monk opener

1) The main job quest gives you item level 90 gear now and you get 110 and up gear from the main story quest after you hit 50 so you shouldn't have to worry about gearing it up

2) like in 4, the rotation is pretty simple and easy to figure out! It won't take you long to memorize the opener on a dummy. There is stone sky sea now which is helpful it resets your CDs so you can do opener immediately again after trying it.

3) Yeah you should, sometimes it doesn't work for some fights or people are just lazy or like your first hit it doesn't make a huge difference in the long run.

4) Basically yeah you just want to keep everything up all the time without clipping the timers too much (people use fracture to delay a GCD here or there for this)

Thanks for the reply! Sorry it took me so long to respond but it's been a busy few days.

Sorry if this has been discussed here before but I've been seeing this argument come up a lot recently and I haven't really seen a definitive answer to it.
Which GCDs are better in the opener?
1. Demolish (PB) > Snap > Snap > DK > TS > Snap > ToD > ...
2. Demolish (PB) > Snap > Snap > DK > TS > ToD > ...

Basically, whether or not the extra Snap is necessary. I've heard the first opener is more potent if the extra Snap crits. I've also found that in the second opener Demolish can squeeze in under TA if you have a Ninja (Although it clips).
