Thread: Monk 3.0 CHAKRA UNLEASHED

Couple of years doesnt even begin to touch how long Almalexia and I have been part of the monk community and doing what we can, Id say a good decade or close to it. Assuming this is the Almalexia that I remember back in FFXI when he use to hit like a wet noodle because lolmithrastr. Hes grown fat and old, because I remember he would be more active with the community with retrieving data samples and strategy. He was one of the first monks to get Glanzfaust and provide data for it. I kind of miss the ZAM forums now... wonder what ever happened to milich(pahn) and Kinematics(Motenten) other old active monks back in the day. I think Veggeto(Tiger) is still around.

This game just isnt as fun to take apart as FFXI was when it came to gear and fights, I feel old now...

Ahh I remember Veggeto back in the days of killing ifrit forum. Was a mnk then and still now. Quite sad when they took away simian WS(asuran fists)

Any decent group would not have gotten stuck on faust to the point where they needed to actually switch their composition. Honestly, I don't think any decent group would have wiped too faust more than the first day.

If it comes to that point, its not the job composition, its the abilities of the players thats holding the group back.

I agree completely with this.

If Square Enix wants to "encourage" more raid groups to take Monks with them without buffing them again, what they can do is design future Savage fights that play to their strengths. A lot of people would agree that Monks have the best AOE DPS of the 3 melee damage dealers if A2 Savage is any indication. For example, have a future Savage fight with boss that has a bunch of adds that repeatedly spawns between intervals that needs be off-tanked and burned down quickly or the entire group wipes. I'm pretty sure there are more examples out there that people can think of.

Looks like there's an unintended consequence to it.... either that, or this is one hell of a buff!

I'll just leave this photo here....

Can confirm, that you can use forbidden chakra AND purification, bug or not, OP for now
