As someone who has been on trying to maximize MNK’s new changes since 4.2 dropped, this is what I have come up with and has roughly a 200 DPS larger parse compared to pre 4.2 MNK.

Think of Monk as 4.1 Warrior where Warrior had 2 burst windows: Inner Release Berserk which is full burst window, and only berserk window.

Monk has shifted to having one huge burst window, which takes advantage of the opener and then 3 min into a fight where CDs line up together again (RoF, IR, Broth.). And priority maximization.

Ill make two more posts to greatly detail how these two phases of Monk work.
