close to 60 monk, is this how you use meditation?

charge to 5 chakra, engage mob, unleash FC, charge to 5 otw to next mob, unleash, repeat.

unless the fight has downtime where i can charge to 5 again, FC is pretty much 1 time use for every fight? seems so cumbersome, why not just give FC a 30sec cooldown SE? it would be a different story if they make the chakra system like old mmo ragnarok online where each chakra on monk = +10 crit if iam not wrong, but this? i charge 5 for 1 attack and thats it?

It's something to do when there's downtime, something extra that somewhat makes up for the loss of GL3. And there's no way they would ever give it a 30 sec cooldown, 180+ sec if anything.

^ah yeah i mean, the chakra system itself is cumbersome so why not just a simple cooldown timer

unless stormblood will add something else to this chakra thingy

Personally I like using FC as part of my Burst when all my Buffs and Debuffs are up. Then I made a habit out of working Mediate into my rotation, building the stack up after applying Dragon Kick so FC is ready for the next Burst in longer fights without any downtime.

There's also Purify for some extra TP in an emergency if Invigorate is on CD.

When a boss disappears or you get knocked back charging up that high potency move is suppose to be a way of getting back what was lost by a little bit. On top of form shift for down time to save grease lightning

I'd be perfectly fine if they decided to break monk for a patch by giving FC a 30sec CD.
