Why so many ppl have problems to fit in dots? You have plenty of time. Ill post my starting rotation which is very long and you wont be able to do it on fights like Titan, Garuda etc. - but you will find a way to deal with it and just change your rotation which is a must anyway, to arrange yourself to the encounter. Lets say you fight a dummy or ADS or whatever:

(Ill post w/o bootshine, true strike)

tod - dk - ts - demolish
dk - ts - sp
dk - ts - sp (gl3)
dk - ts - sp
dk/howling fist - ts/bfb - demolish/internal release -fracture/str potion - tod/pb
Snap Punch spam
dk - ts - demolish - fracture (tod still running)

This works perfectly fine since those dots get applied directly after they ran out so not even a second wasted. ToD at the start ticks exactly to 0 util it gets reapplied etc etc. All the off gcd Skills fit in perfectly even the Pot, u got enough time to spam SP with bfb running, u wont lose dots. Only thing u lose while spamming SP is DK debuff.

Not so much that i dont have the time for it, more the case that im still learning the job, I started the class in 2.0 as a 50 from 1.0 and the play style has change somewhat. So i'm learning and seeking advice. I refuse to send my MNK in a high level even till i am comfortable with a rotation. Seen far too many players that are totally clueless so rather than doing that i chose to learn and practice before heading in

It is true, 90 % of the monks are not able to run a full rotation with dots which is the reason why they cry for rebalance, call them bad dps etc. I can tell you that at least on my server with full gryphonskil and relic w/o +1 i am doing the most single target dps. I've never met one coming close. Monk is such a machine which needs some love and work to make it go crazy.

What kind of arm chairing is that?

None since I actually do it?

I'm sorry that doesn't cut it in titan. Other runs, fine. No one should be playing hero in titan HM. "Sorry my bad" doesn't cut it. "lagginglagging" doesn't cut it.

It's not the excuses that's the problem, it's simply too many variables. If there was 1% safer way to do titan, everyone would vote yes.

The only part where you are remotely need to be on the ball for rotation is heart, and that's more a /rng (who the two lucky people that are enclosed are) then anything.

I'm seen mnks who try to finish off a rotation on bombs to keep their GL. l33t idiots that die when it matters the most. "Oh sorry my bad". Maximizing dps my rear.

There is absolutely no room for doing your own thing in titan HM, unless you're being carried or doing the carrying. It's a foot down moment. Everyone must get in line for that battle.

It's survival of the dead, tempt fate, and titan will gladly take you up on the offer.

Kuku. Please Stop.
Your assumption that everyone is as bad as you or "other monks" you seem to encounter all the time with is toxic to this thread.

There is no variables during bombs - they have set bomb patterns, they have set timers, the bomb spawns take over 5 seconds. With use of shoulder charge, you can easily keep up GLx3 for all bomb spawns. Last I checked you were still using level 28 rings and NOT a relic weapon.

Thanks for checking up on me, I've been on the tombstone stage, but lvl 28 rings?? I have crappy GC ring, but that's not 28...

Well whatever. I'll stop posting since it appears to get personal. And people appear to have the mentality of if you're not carrying then you're being carried.

Yes, dismissing people with valid points as "armchairing" is totally not-personal and an objective and well-thought out argument; You've done this repeatedly in the thread. Feel free to play how you want but please don't disrupt actual valid discussion between users who want to play to the best of their ability.

What kind of chump Monks have you been playing with who lose GL to a bomb on Titan? It's ridiculously easy to finish a rotation if necessary and still avoid a bomb in nearly any situation.

[Kijimea]

Losing GL to bombs? Hahaha.
