Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

I'll figure ut the 1200 + once i have the gear, the only thing holding me back from it is that pretty much.

Honestly in my video a did a single fracture and its not that great anymore. Not worth losing its slot, but it not as amazing at it used to be.

I tried messing with Fracture earlier...with 600 SS, my TP went dry before 3 minutes even with Invigorate. Stupid law/alex gear.

since everyone seems to be curious about where you should be in terms of dps, i did a few tests and got one of my more avg crit rates, if anything its on the low side, regardless you can see it for yourself.

for reference, that with x-pot and black truffle (yes, im cheap) and party buff.

Used the same things you did(barring some savage gear...) and got this




Fracture really wasn't working out for me in a test parse I did. I have too much skill speed.

our skill speed is almost identical, it will probably take some practice to get used to, but its a good payoff once you get used to it.

kind of a newbie question, but asking mainly for As2...

How do you guys perform your AOE rotation? In small packs I do Arm ->Twin Snakes -> Rockbreaker, keeping Elixer Field and Howling Punch on cooldown.
However, as you guys will point out, you will drain TP like no other.

So is there a better sustainable DPS for it? I have been doing BS->Twin->Rockbreaker too, but I feel I am missing something..

THanks!

I recently swapped to Monk from WHM so I've been heavily reading the monk threads here for advice.

We finally went into A1S (Faust only, didn't clear him) the other night and I think I did 1150-1200 dps at i190. Looking at these numbers, I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm not using STR pots because I currently can't afford them, and I was using Black Truffle Risotto, then switched to Lava Toad Legs once I noticed a single miss at 575 Accuracy. Oh, our party makeup was: Monk, Dragoon, Summoner, Machinist, WHM, AST (I think I was getting the Arrow/Balance cards, but they may have been Expanded ones), Paladin, DRK.

After reading this thread, I've been trying to work Fracture into my rotation since I wasn't before and it's seeming to be more difficult than it should be. I understand it's just DK-TF-SP-BS-TS-Dem-ToD, then repeat and replace ToD with Fracture (as well as using Snap Punch 2 of every 3 Coeurl stances), but sometimes I miss one rotation of the dots. And I pop cooldowns every chance they're up. To avoid animation lock, I just use one oGCD per weapon skill. Is that correct? I saved my chakra stacks for Purification since I'm burning through TP on Faust.

Any other tricks I might try to use to pick my dps up a little more?

Faust fight is just 2m 45s, so you only need 1 invigorate, use your chakra for Forbidden Chakra.
575 acc should be fine since you should always hit your positional of rear/flank for Faust, the miss might be on the adds when you use Elixir Field or Howling Fist.
