To piggyback on the two previous post: If you want to find ways to implement skills that you feel should be used more, more power to you. I desperately want TK to be usable consistently throughout a fight and for Anatman to not feel so clunky, but I will never and would never suggest using that TK rotation to anyone wanting to push their DPS to the limits because it just doesn't do high enough DPS to be competitive with the current openers available to us.

If you want to use that opener and follow the rotation that allows for TK to be used super frequently, then do so. No one ever wants to tell or be told how they have to play this game. That being said, do not say that it's "optimal" or "close in dps" to the available openers unless you have statistical proof to support that claim. And I don't mean 1 good parse where the stars aligned and you got chakra procs or whatever out the whazoo. I mean hundreds of parses or simulations that show a consistent amount of damage that is within 200-300 DPS of the current best openers (200-300 is sort of a rough range. If you want to be technical for MNKs the PB opener is 400 DPS below the best opener and Anatman opener is 200 DPS below the best opener. But the best opener is really janky and is super universe brain so it isn't recommended at all even though it's the highest DPSing).

I would like the think that everyone who has replied in this forum very much loves the job they main and have the desire to push the DPS of their job to the absolute limits and are constantly trying to do just that, constantly asking questions about anything they think might push them ahead or anything that they're confused about all just to get a consistent gain in DPS. To say "This method is optimal and better than what is the norm/recommended method by Balance" but offer no extensive proof of it actually being better is just sort of a slap in the face to all of us who love our job and love trying to push our DPS to the limits.
