Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

i185 or i186, ~1200 on dummy quite easily. Pretty much equal with the DRG in my group w/o counting the bard's damage in A1 savage.


Don't have much else for reference since pf/df melee all suck balls.

I'm switching from tank to MNK for my group. A lot of hate on MNK utility, does noone remember T13? Where Dragon Kick was just fantastic? On top of Savage A1 having 2 mobs that both do a 25k magic damage tank buster, DRK tanking one and MNK on the other for double INT down, and then into the jump/landing phase the party damage is just huge so Mantra will be incredible. Honestly until everyone starts to out gear Savage MNKs defensive utility will be invaluable

So, how important is it to cross-class for Mercy Stroke? I read the tidbit about fracture in the guide, but saw nothing about MS.

It should be on your cross class since there's no other good cross class skill to put. Its a dps increase.

Invigorate
Blood for blood
Fracture
Mercy stroke
Bloodbath

Are my preference for my cross class

Wait...people use Mercy Strokes?

It's an OGCD with a potency of 200. Why wouldn't you use it?

It requires the enemy to have less than 20% HP left, and has a 1 minute 30 second cooldown. Until the enemy is under 20% it's useless, and the cooldown is 50 seconds longer than Assassinate, which is a 40s cooldown for the same potency (minus the healing if it kills). When it becomes useable, you get maybe 1-2 uses on a boss and that's it. So yeah, I find it pretty useless as a cross-class.

Yes Mercy Stroke should be on your hotbar, and IMHO in progression it is mandatory.

How much dps should you be doing as a MNK on a single target in Alex 1 Savage?
