    Hi guys perfect place to post, so after training on my monk for a bit, here is the rotation i have stuck with.

    Fists Of Fire
    Boot Shine - Behind
    True Strike - Behind
    Internal release
    Demolish - Behind

    Dragon Kick - Flank
    Twin Snakes - Flank
    Snap Punch - Flank

    Boot Shine - Behind
    True Strike - Behind
    Snap Punch - Flank

    Dragon Kick - Flank
    Twin Snakes - Flank
    Snap Punch - Flank

    i simply repeat those 4 cycles starting with Internal release at demolish then using IR when its up. However my question is, how can i add Touch of Death and or Fracture (haven't got it yet but no harm in getting info for it from now ) without losing GL3 or ruining my rotation. Goes without saying i suppose that DoT is not worth losing GL3 so at what point would i add them and also do i replace any skills for them?

    Thanks

    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.

    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.

    What have you guys been buying first with Myth tokens? I have Relic +1... I'm just getting into a group for Coil this week, so I'm curious what should be the first target for gear to buy with Myth. I was thinking the Helm since the Allagan is in turn 4 and will provide a pretty decent buff for me at least over Darklight Eyepatch. I looked at the spreadsheet someone posted of gear comparisons... if I remember, there is NO best in slot that is Myth, it's all Allagan, which isn't true for every class necessarily. What do you guys think, helm first? An accessory?

    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.

    Melee can stay on titan throughout entire fight until last phase bombs which varies depending how box set order falls, and even then as monk you can still manage to keep GL3 up. If you're running away from any bombs and not dpsing at point up until last phase you're doing it wrong. For example the "X" set you can stay on titan, wait for his cone swing and move next to tank for explosion and then immediately move out, never any danger because there is a set sequence to everything(which is kinda boring).
