This runs into the Kenki ratio issue though. 35 Kenki for a skill that is very noticeable if you're paying attention, just wait for chiten to wear and all that kenki is wasted. I have no issues reacting to chiten because the animation is so slow before the effect actually takes hold, Plus shielding beats out any damage chiten would send your way, I think regen ticks almost beat it out as well , of course nothing will be better than just not hitting them till it's gone. if you're hitting the Sam with Chiten up that's kinda on you.

Plus midare is a casting move, so just LoS/get away from them/ get healed from the previous damage before it hits.

Yeah I learnt my lesson after getting run over twice. Now I'm always keeping an eye open for Chiten while I burst. But if a SAM did manage to pull the rug under me they do earn my respect though. All in all I do agree SAM need some love for PVP.

If I may allow to side-track a little, any general tips for MNK? I get the basic idea of bursting is Fire > (wind + dot if possible >) Charkra > Snap > Tornado > ogcd, but anything new is appreciated.

Sam is fine melee classes overall is pretty even atm. but the lack of any kind of stun and fetter ward really hurts us. you cant carry games as hard as melee anymore sadly.

So far i feel like scholar is pretty broken with infinite lustrate spam and adloq shield, WHM is not far behind fluid aura is such a troll skill.

For tanks paladin is king imo some might consider drk they are both strong.
But healers carry the games now more then ever wich is pretty sad in my opinion i see ppl on Chaos thats allready diamond with absurd winrates, ppl that not even played healer in the other seasons.

Highest carry rating Healer by far followed by Tanks because they can stun and shut down healers and apply cover/shield followed by melee and ranged dps.

snip monk tips

Sorry didn't see this before. your burst is eh. double weave chakra and T kick don't break them up like that and save wind for closing gaps on low health targets.

your burst is basically put demo up first use fire then attack >Chakra + Tkick > attack > somersault, pretty much kills everything without shielding.

As for general tips, try not to overstack medals, keep safeguard and earth for when people are trying to burst you. if you can, try to combine earth+ fire, if you're at GL2 use a combo finisher and not the GL increaser, that way you get a stack of chakra for 150 instead of spending 250 on somersault. if you're at GL1 > GL increase to 2 then combo finisher.

A lot of things will be like situational awareness checking targets HP. If someone is pushed too far from their healer and/or their health is low Tkick will kill at 25% and only costs 300 TP + combo finisher to re ready your full burst.

You can sometimes poke a healer with T kick to force them to respond, also you can easily Tkick > Snap>somersault boxes to make sure you do over 50% to them right away, save for wolves heart. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh one last general tip. If you can everyone should have HP bars turned on, it'll make your life far easier.
