Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

@Hakmatic so even if we do come up to DRG lvl DPS it still want be enough due to utility in Mantra/DK just isn't enough? Understandable.

@Leozhan not downing your skill or anything but there's no way anything but another DRG will beat a DRG. This is all in terms of competent DPS who know the fights thru and thru. Like I said nothing against your skill but it does leave me to question the skill of DRGs you group with.

Don't forget that said DRG also contributed more utility to the raid without having to sacrifice his damage to do so.

you just had to remind me <.<, it use to be monks were less damage because the utility we brought, but now that drk are out and monk dragon kick and an int debuff can be had elsewhere all we really bring is a mantra of 30% heal, although it does synergize well, its not enough to warrant such a dps hit in end game content now

I think it's more just how the DRG class is setup atm. They get a 290 potency skill every 4th combo given they hit the positional. That on top of the flat damage buff for the Jumps just puts them ahead. Where as NIN can do Raiton what twice in a min? That's if your not getting crapped on by mudra lag then it's Fuma. MNK truly only got EF every 30 secs since FC is maybe once or twice a fight?

DRG just have more constant damage vs all the other melee who have timers on there damage.

MNK is still good just unless some stuff is changed they want beat out a DRG at this current time.

Oh yeh forgot its 1.5sec per med. So yes you can stack 3 per sp and maybe 2 if you just demo.. never happend to me so i never had done it.

I think I'm doing something horribly wrong.

I went from being my statics top DPS to being almost consistently last now.

My ilvl is 180 without a Ravana weapon and in A1 I was only pulling 666 on our last kill.

The opening I use is the one in the topic and pretty much was already using all the tips for A1 stated.

I'm just confused because it's not like I'm doing anything inherently wrong but to pull such low DPS I must be =\

A1, like many 3.0 fights, is extremely group based, if your group cant put out mad deeps, then your not gonna be looking so top tier either, that said, you havent exactly given us a lot of info to go on, so its a little hard to tell
