We have touch of death, demolish from our own tree and fracture from MRD tree. What are the pros and cons of each. Which one should i drop if i play on ps3 and have limited loadout space on my hotkey bar

Did you bother looking at the other 5 Monk threads about DPS? IMO ToD/Demolish are must applies but I'm not 100% sold on Fracture. High TP cost for how long it last making Monks less efficient and more likely to run out of TP during a fight even with TP ability from Dragoon.

If you're running out of hot bar space you should look into one of the monk threads that has a macro list linked to help you minimize the space you're using. I'm not even using a bunch of macro's and have space for all my skills + cross class skills on the first Cross slot. Ya just gotta figure what ya need and where ya need it.

So far after doing Ifirit/Garuda hardmode I have yet to run out of TP, even using Fracture in my rotation. I havent even had to use Invigorate.

Imo it depends on the type of fight. If it is a fight where I am going to have trouble keeping rotation due to moving out of the way of Red Rings of death than I use as much dots as possible. Otherwise I ignore touch of death and fracture and only keep up Demolish. Now if Touch of Death put me into Coeurl stance or something I would use it but as things are now Fracture, and Touch of death aren't worth risking letting Grease Lightning fall off.

Then you're attacking too slowly, because you SHOULD be expending more TP than you're gaining by natural regen. if you're not, you're losing DPS. As a Monk anyway. Though I'm fairly certain that holds true for every job with TP as a main resource.

Well according to parsers when i used tod/fracture/demolish I lose 35 dps...

Are you also ps3?

[Cynric]

Of course i'm also on PS3, I wouldn't of said that if I didn't play on PS3 as well.

Demolish is really good and should always be up on a boss, Touch of death though i dont like as much because its super slow for compared to Demolish and about the same damage, and also it doesnt build any GL, i usually end up use ToD like once on a boss then forgeting about it, its not a huge deal
