I don't understand this mentality. While it could potentially cause tp problems, the mnk still has the option of spacing their gcds the same length apart as they normally would and will still get a roughly 3% dps gain just from their auto attacks.

Most of the monks (and dragoons) that I know do NOT need more skill speed than their gear provides. You're only causing them to run out of TP faster. Be prepared to offer them a spire afterward as apology.

They always tell me their TP consumption rate is higher however they don't care. As long as they are putting out the Deeps in time it's alright. If the said monk is under-geared where they cannot inflict high damage, then that would be the case when you shouldn't arrow them.

I honestly wouldn't waste dps cards on anyone with the lesser gear. Typically the higher. And if both DPS's gear aren't that great. Spread balance/arrow is our friend.



Monk wise atleast. I don't find arrow more useful than balance on a DRG. In my experience.

I don't think you understood what I was saying. If your mnk has a normal gl3 gcd of 2 seconds, and a gl3+arrow gcd of 1.8 seconds, they can still use their gcd skills every 2 seconds, lose no extra tp, and still get a 3%ish gain to their dps while under arrow just from the buff to auto attacks.
