    Here's a solo no buffs run I did yesterday.

    You guys will see that like Zami's breakdown mine will also show that Fracture is a decent increase. He appears to use it more frequently than myself. It's a little high on the crit side, but nothing too outlandish. It still falls into my average crit spread, but just higher on the spread. I'd say ~24% is more common with no buffs for me.


    My gear is nothing special this is at i190. I have full i190 from Alex normal and i200 weapon: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2870211/

    One thing I'd recommend to people getting used to using Fracture is that when you're unsure if it's going to cause you to drop DK/TwS just hold off on using it. Also if you do enough runs without Fracture at all you'll start to see patterns for Demo and ToD being up that allow for Fracture to be inserted. Learning these patterns helps you to time it so that you aren't causing drops in buffs.

    And about the TP sink? My TP is completely gone before 3 minutes when incorporating Fracture, and it was claimed that my skill speed(600 give or take) was similar to some people here. What do I do about that?

    I don't know how you're going through your TP so fast unless you're trying to overuse Fracture. I have 613 skill speed by the way. When you start running low you have to curb it's usage at times to make the next Invigorate.

    If you're doing 1100-1200 dps, you're probably not doing anything "wrong". Maybe you're firing your oGCDs a bit late and delaying your GCD. Or maybe you were late refreshing your DoTs a time or 2. Don't start witch-hunting yourself as that's still a very respectable number. Some of the numbers you see here and on reddit are from Mnks in leading edge progression groups. It's great to strive to equal them but don't think you're terrible if you find yourself lagging behind them a bit.

    How much dps would you estimate you're going up you using fracture? My controller hotbars are so full and I'm worried trying to train myself to switch hotbars to use it and switch back is going to drag me down significantly.

    What are your hotbars looking like? Are you utilizing R2+L2 and L2+R2? With those extensions, you can fit pretty much all of its skills without the need of "manual" hotbar switching for Monk since it's (thankfully) not action bloated.

    Yeah my problem is I just duplicated my L2 and R2 combinations with the same moves so now my muscle memory is trained to think that I can hit them in any order and end up with the same skills. In retrospect, that was dumb. But we didn't have as many skills so I wasn't worried about it at the time. I could try to train myself off it but it'll be ugly for awhile so I'm trying to convince myself fracture isn't worth it.

    Ive got the same controller setup, although I found putting an action onto L3/R3 (put limitbreak on there) has been a big help so far.
