It's just Double Lunar opener, you can also do Solar Lunar and the second and third gcd would be different. But like I said, this opener/rotation just died yesterday in new 7.01 patch. :c

@@arainbowinthedark2 Yes you’re talking about official rotation but not the above one 1123 bootDK rotation, however, it’ll be removed at patch 7.05 anyway

Almost the same with two adjusts. Compared to the opener, I intended to press PB after DK so the PB is cast 1 gcd earlier before its cooldown ends. If we think of DK + PB as the beginning of the burst window, RoF + BH are actually casted 1 gcd later compared to the opener, so we need to fill 1 gcd during the burst window. And at 9:05, we don't have WR, so we need to fill another gcd. As a result, I filled 2 additional DKs into this even burst, with an additional DK after 3 opo's in each PB window. Remember to only fill DK after Boot.

yea DT monk is now broken monk, hope SE will fix that 😥 I actually just heard that the "formless DK gain opo ball" will be fixed in 7.01, so the above rotation will not be working soon....

If you are talking about the document released by the community and published on The Balance, then yes, it is valuable for top-tier monks who want to play optimally, definitely need to get a coffee and read through all the paragraphs. If you just want to get familiar with how the monk rotation works, you can learn it step by step. For me, I first read through all skill descriptions and get familiar with the basic official gcd rotations like DK > Twin > Demo > Boot > True > Snap > DK > ... and understand the logic and idea behind it. Then add Perfect Balance into the rotation to build a simple burst where you need to know how to build Lunar Nadi, Solar Nadi, and Phantom Rush. Finally, manage the Perfect Balance cooldowns like using it twice every even minute and once every odd minute. Finally add Riddle of Fire and Brotherhood together where you can cover all blitz casts and you're good to go.

Sure! I just added it to the description below the video. The video also has images showing the openers.

I actually didn’t check the dps, but in theory, these rotations should be almost optimal. Compared to other melee, monk is currently one of the lowest dps jobs now. Hopefully, SE will make adjustments before savage raids release.

Sure, I’ll do it later. Compared to endwalker monk, dawntrail monk is now easier for new players to learn because the twin snakes buff and demolish dot are removed. You basically cast gcds as prompted, and you’re good to go. With that being said, the dps ceiling is also lowered because of the removal.

@@GKAveragePlayer glad to hear. i never got into monk because it was too hard for me. maybe ill try him again

I've asked that before xD Here's what I got: We all know that average damage of dk+boot is higher than average damage of demo+3snaps. It is possible that 3 snap has better potency than 2dk + 1boot case, but definitely not better than 1dk + 2boot case. It kind of depends on how much Cri we can build at lv100 because we need to count critical damage multiplier for enhanced boot. Also, in 2dk + 1 boot case, its not just 3 gcds that we also gain another one more opo ball for next boot. btw, you can see that in my sync 90 rotation, I always enter PB with opo ball on so there only 2 boot+1dk in my above rotation.

Oh my bad I've forgotten the crit dmg x) It makes sense, thank you for your answer and your video 😊

haven’t tried other melee yet but have seen some simulation documents that saying monk is almost the lowest melee dps for now. But SE will probably make adjustment soon before savage raids release

@@GKAveragePlayer Thank you. That was my concern. Hopefully they do. Monk was in a great spot pre change. They lowered the ceiling too far I believe.

@@GKAveragePlayer That can't be right. We always get fucked some how though. I just refuse to believe they keep playing with us like this >:o.
