Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

All I wanted from a Monk buff was Forbidden Chakra not clipping GCD, and... it looks like we got that so i'm so happy.

That, and recharging Meditation isn't as painful. Despite my implied salt about TK, i'm happy. Now I just hope my static's SCH is willing to go back to AST.

EDIT: With our GL duration changed, does this also mean changes to our let's say...openers?

I think so. With the lower casting on Med to 1.2 sec will this be viable to weave or still no?

Not viable to use unless you are physically unable to hit the boss for more than 1.2 Seconds. This is not a skill you can weave in between damage skills because it is on the GCD. This won't change until Meditation's cast time is like sub .7 or .8 seconds (w/o Skill speed and GL buff) or it is made an oGCD.

Yeah figure as much.

Fracture perhaps?
Going to play around with things tomorrow.

I would love to see this.

Well just read the 3.07 patch for themnk section
10/20/30 and duration at 14 sec. So nothing big. Still same problem. Stun lock on FC have been reduce. So this is getting the same work with jump on drg. TK is now at 40 sec recast, but still the same problem with its dmg not registered right away. So what you guys think?

**KrazyBean94** · 08-25-2015 06:34 PM

Yeah I'm pretty happy with these changes. Meditation now takes only 6 seconds to go from 0-5 stacks as opposed to 7.5 seconds, FC doesn't seem like it will clash with the GCD and we get 3% more overall damage with GL3. An extra 2 seconds on GL ain't as big of an upgrade as I would've hoped but I hope it's enough for me to keep GL3 during the phase transition from human to single hand in A3 Savage.

The Tornado Kick change doesn't really do anything considering that it's hardly used at all to begin with.

EDIT: I did a quick little test and it seems pretty easy to weave in a Chakra stack during combat now, although it has to be done at the point were you would normally put Fracture on. I use the DK method were I apply Fracture if there's 4-5 seconds left on DK and I'm in Opo-opo form. Didn't see a massive DPS loss on my part so I'm wondering if this is actually pretty viable to do this in exchange for not using Fracture...unless someone else finds a way to perform both.

Just so we're clear, it's not 3% more overall damage :P

130%/127% = 2.36% more overall damage.

The extra 2 seconds on GL is not only fair, it should've been done when they moved the timer to the start of the GCD in the first place.
