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

I want to say, I'm not a main monk, I didn't level this job to 90 but it seems the dev team missed out on this. From what I can see, you basically just keep Twin Snake + Demolish up.

You completely ignore Snap Punch (250/310 flank potency) and True Strike (300 potency) and you simply spam Dragon Kick (320 potency). When TS is about to run out, you refresh TS + Demolish and you Bootshine because it is a guaranteed crit on 310 potency.

Essentially, you do SP + TS only to get that guaranteed crit. That said, you risk missing that flank positional. So the Dragon Kick spam version is just a brain dead rotation that relies on crit RNG and it seems pretty potent.

I do not believe this should exist and this is a pretty insane miss on the dev team. That said, I know a lot of people question how the game is currently balanced (myself included being a main caster player)

*edits* By the way, obligatory comment at how melees albsolutely need to do better DPS than casters and ranged phys because they are harder. Guess they can just spam Dragon Kick and it's hard.
