[FFXIV] Patch 7.0 Dawntrail Monk Level 100 - Solar Lunar & Double Lunar Rotation 6 min 30 sec Test

Just a rotation test for anyone wondering how the Dawntrail Monk currently looks. It's probably not optimal.
Oops, the rotation is actually wrong in the previous level 100 rotation video. I accidentally put double lunar open rotation twice in it. Here is an updated version with opener and burst rotation listed.
Solar Lunar Opener:
dk (pb) twin demo (bh RoF) boot (RoW tfc) phoenix dk fr wr boot (pb) dk boot dk exlixir boot
Double Lunar Opener:
dk (pb) boot dk (bh RoF) boot (RoW tfc) elixir dk fr wr boot (pb) dk boot dk exlixir boot
Skills:
dk = Dragon Kick
twin = Twin Snakes
demo = Demolish
boot = Bootshine / Leaping Opo
true = True Strike / Rising Raptor
snap = Snap Punch / Pouncing Coeurl
tfc = The Forbidden Chakra
pb = Perfect Balance
elixir = Elixir Field / Elixir Burst
phoenix = Rising Phoenix
PR = Phantom Rush
RoF = Riddle of Fire
fr = Fire’s Reply
RoW = Riddle of Wind
wr = Wind’s Reply
bh = Brotherhood

Again, just heard that the 1123 or 1231 rotation will be fixed soon in 7.01...
So the above rotation probably not gonna work once it is fixed. Errr

Do you have any recommendations on how to begin learning the rotation for monk?
Core GCD rotation looks very simple but it feels kind of crazy when I was reading through the guides on even and odd windows and things like that and mixing in the oGCDs

[@GKAveragePlayer]

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.

Trying to learn MNK, so at 9:05 / even burst its just gonna be a repeat of the opener?

[@GKAveragePlayer]

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.

[@arainbowinthedark2]

Is it me or are the bars just flashing what you should be using?

[@GKAveragePlayer]

@@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

[@ChreeMK]

can u type out the opener?

[@GKAveragePlayer]

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

[@remomiyamoto6104]

Hows the dps?

[@GKAveragePlayer]

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.
