So apparently Dragon Kick spam Monk rotation is a thing and it's disgusting

[VentVanitas]

Positionals were literally there in the first place to prevent that from happening, as you lose potency if you don't hit it correctly but now, its 320 from anywhere on the boss. Not to mention if you have a DNC partner...

Yes and no, it's not solely the lack of positionals that caused this but it is related. It's the result of bringing Bootshine and DK's potency too close together, Chakra tying its acquisition to crit RNG and downtime being largely inconsequential because there's literally nothing to do outside of RoF/PB.

The truly hilarious thing here is that this actually seems to be effective at pretty much all levels after 50. I've finally gotten around to leveling monk again, and I actually seem to do less DPS when playing the job the intended way.

Dragon kick is the coolest move Monk has so all is in order

they would probably just move the potency to opo opo doesn't change the rotation at all but kills the healer gameplay for monk

Nerf Dragon Kick potency by 20. Buff True Strike potency by 20. Buff Elixir Field potency by 40 if need be.

I'd be one to call just a nerf to Dragon Kick and that's all. Monk honestly didn't deserve a buff and they got a Phantom Rush buff. I'm sure most rational monk mains were like, "Didn't need it but thanks I guess."

Wouldn't this encourage a Skillspeed breakpoint for a double-true rotation?

Wouldn't this [siphoning 20 potency from Dragon Kick to True Strike] encourage a Skillspeed breakpoint for a double-true rotation?

Slightly, but such would, imo, be for the best. Is a Monk that wants to actively avoid any and all additional speed really even a Monk?

Given how disadvantaged SkS is otherwise, having a useful threshold (that will likely also offer greater complexity and flexibility in Blitz usage down the line) would merely make the stat less costly, improving stat choice and, slightly, available job depth.

The main thing here, though, is that at present True Strike only even provides some 60-80 potency per minute, depending on SkS. The value of having it on one's bar at all amounts to about a single Chakra per minute. It's... rather pathetic.

I would like to see the devs play with the idea of making mnk a 1.5 gcd job. It already can reach that in DRS and it feels intense.

The issue there is that until the devs fix up the way the game handles animation locks, anyone with over 150 ms wouldn't be able to even single-weave without clipping. (In actuality, due to weirdly low poll rate for this game, problems could occur well before 150 ms. See MCH during Overheated, from Hypercharge.)
