Dr. Stronglove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Tornado Kick

[KalinOrthos]

So Tornado Kick hits like a damn truck, but gimps you so hard once you do. I feel like it has other uses outside of jumps or periods where Riddle of Earth would be wasted, but I can't really see how else I can use it. Is there any way I can actually use it, or is it just a wasted ability?

haven't played monk in a while, not mained since arr, but if i recall correctly you could get some gain with it if you have PB up (and dont need it soon for a phase transition). So you'd do something like Buff up - dragon kick - twin snakes - demolish (perfect balance) - bootshine - bootshine (tornado kick) - 3x snap punch. If thats not a dps gain then i dont think theres anywhere you can use it outside of getting one off just before the boss goes invulnerable

If you don't need Perfect Balance in the next 3 minutes you can use it at the end of Riddle of Fire for a moderate gain, but if you're in progression or really in any circumstance outside a parse run it's not worth the risk,
