Mr. Happy has an awesome channel on ARR and I love this video here because it has some tips on monks.

I too would like some tips really, if anyone has some to share. It's one of the classes/jobs I'm interested in, but I really feel I know next to nothing about it. It could be that that knowledge will come in time though, or that I may know more than I think I know. c_c

Supposing I could ask a few questions to get this rolling: Crit rate obviously is good for pgl (and likely mnk dur), but is getting gear with determination also good? Will that help overall damage? I'm really not completely sure on that particular 'stat' for anything, to be honest. :C

Determination increases damage at half the rate of STR (2DET:1STR). You always want more STR.

Considering the poor returns on skill speed, stacking crit/DET will probably be the way to go at launch - this is, of course, after you've met the baseline for ACC which is pretty easy to figure out.

All the winners choose Monk.

It is known.

My rotation was: Touch of Death(always keep it up) -> Bootshine ->Twin Snakes -> Snap Punch -> Bootshine -> True Strike -> Snap Punch. Rinse and repeat when twin snakes buff goes down. I feel this was pretty much how I would use the skills given at lvl 19

^ this.

Up to level 35 it was essentially the same, but add in Demolish in place of first snap punch. Touch of death > Bootshine > twin snakes > demolish > bootshine > true strike > snap punch...repeat

PGL/MNK for the win ^^, just got one question is Mercy Stroke worth getting from MRD class? or with the mnks skills/rotations will it not fit in?

All the coolest people are Monks :3!

Anyone know what the Monk requirements will be? Is it still 30 Pugilist 15 lancer?

Also for rotation; I throw the archer crit buff (straigh shot?) in there.
