The One True Monk Rotation

[kataly]

I wanted to share my Monk rotation because I feel like contributing to the community. While this rotation doesn't achieve the highest theoretical DPS possible with Monks, I believe it has one of the highest expected DPS outputs, factoring in likelihood of human execution and mechanics. I'm also not going to justify my claims or points of view because I don't have a lot of time.

There are two broad approaches to Monk rotation design:

1. Stuffing into one GL duration as many high potency actions as possible. Symptoms of these sorts of rotations are that they don't use True Strike and they weave in skills like Impulse Drive.
2. Going through your forms as quickly as possible.

This rotation belongs to the latter umbrella.

Phase 1: Operation Greased Lightning

Dragon Kick -> Twin Snakes -> Demolish
Dragon Kick -> Twin Snakes -> Snap Punch
Bootshine -> True Strike -> Snap Punch
