In loving memory - BootDK Monk 

F

The Dragon Kick making the rotation too flexible i can understand but...Why did they remove the charges though?...seems like double compensated in my eyes. raptor and curl stacks went down by 1...

Tooty Fruity

As someone who's been playing MNK since 2014, this is so fucking true.

@@Gillian_FFXIV Same.

Meanwhile Black Mage has been a consistently well oiled machine that no one wants to play in content that pushes back

​@@MochachocakonNot anymore from what I've heard

Yeah, these days the “fun of black mage” is the Pictomancer’s domain.

No, I don't think I will - Cpt. America style.

LET GO OF 2 MINUTES ❤ TIME FOR FF16 COMBAT RAHHHHH

@@sc5the please for the love of god, I would be so happy if we'd just lose the 2 minute meta bullshit.

im still trying to let go of ice paradox but cant lol

I wanted the chance to even try ice paradox but I only reached post-Stormblood by the time of Dawntrail

Not for viper enjoyers xdd

well, you _are_ repeating the monkey stance attacks, so it makes sense on that level too

I aim to please

@@rinnnnnnnnnnrin these videos are just excuses to get people listening to music I like, don't tell anyone

Would be pretty cool if yoshi p was secretly a #PBHead

😢 What I expect is for them to just add a "Needs Opo-opo" requirement for Dragon Kick to generate a Fury stack and keep it down low where it is. I have no faith they'll return Dragon Kick to being the hardest hitting GCD you could build a rotatio around.

Bugs need to be fixed. There is no reason for them not to fix it.

@@Dharengo if you can call it tech, then it's not a bug It's an unintended feature, it's like wavedashing or rocket jumping. It's more fun

@@lightknightgames That's a subjective opinion to have. I never thought wavedashing was fun. And I never though bootdk was fun.

​Lol there are plenty of techs are bugs. 90% of all speedrunning tech is based off bugs wtf are you talking about.

I mean, Dawntrail reeks of being Stormblood save the fact that it cribs from FF9, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker.

Dawntrail is literally Stormblood 2. Both in content and story.

It won't be changed until 7.01, so you've got 8 days left to make the most of it

First time? We get a new job every expansion and/or every three major patches, lol.

​@@AtiredproblemI'll take stornblood Monk please for the love of Yoshi P revert the job ;-;

@@0xx0CoffeeFoam0xx0x Honestly, same. I had a lot of fun with TK monk

I mean... The rotation is completely unchanged. Except we now have to fit in 2 more gcds into the already tight burst window. I don't see what the fuss is about.

​@@Dharengodo you actually want to know what the problems are? Because it's deeper than just being "too easy"

...It's an error. It wasn't "meant" as anything.

he did dick over his own job black mage so at least he neuters everyone

You don't like pressing the same four buttons 1000x?

You'd still DK when you dont have an opo fury, just instead of it being boot->dk->raptor->coeurl, It'll go back to being dk->raptor->coeurl->boot->raptor->coeurl. So just one every 3 gcds instead of being back to back. You essentially never want to use unpowered bootshine, so in perfect balance if you start it with boot, youll just have to dragon kick after the blitz instead of during pb.

PS: I was trying out the tech described in the video, and it is much more fun then the "correct" way of playing lol. I hope the "fix" they make to it is just to officialize this way of playing somehow lmao.

The point of it is similar to ninja’s mudra. You have free agency to choose the order of your skills instead of flowing 1-2-3. ((Spoiler alert, in EW this meant 1-3-2, refreshing Twin at the end of the burst window where it would be dropping off))

@@Atiredproblem ninja's mudra is not about choosing order, is about choosing what you want to spend your cooldown on. I would compare muda to samurai that has one ST cd and one AoE cd that share recast timers. The difference is that ninja has like 6+ cds that share that cooldown.

@@lucasrfma mudra is precisely the same as Beast Chakra. You end on the mudra for the one you want and the path there doesn’t matter. Failure means a bunny which is a loss of potency. Over to Beast Chakra, where we choose which path we want to take, end on it, and if we fail it we get a bunny with potency attached. Exact same thing fundamentally. Your want for it to be spam one button or spam the other is as unintuitive as the complaint you made.

@@Atiredproblem I wasnt complaining about beast chakra, I was complaining about the beast chakra definitions (either all 3 uses of PB in a single form, or all different forms), and said I would prefer if it was different than that (eg: all opo opo vs all coeurl). Simply because I don't like that PB allows you to ignore the forms, but then you do basically the same as not ignoring the forms when you use phoenix. I also acknowledge in my initial post that it could still be somewhat useful for small adjustments in EW, such as the one you mentioned in your response, but with the new system replacing the buff+dot not even that happens.

We still have GL4 unless you mean the aura or something.

​@@Gillian_FFXIVThey probably miss the upkeep of old GL4

@@VideoGamefreak737 Oh yah that's right

The best Monk ever was; won't be forgotten

Preach it.

It's a bugfix, not a rework.

@@Dharengo Shhh.....let me be funny. :(

Its just an optimization tech for monk that won't exist for very long. The fact that you only use 2 combo buttons in your opener is something of a meme that happens from time to time with the job due to number balancing errors. The core rotation of the job is mostly the same and SE's intention for the job that it will likely be returning to.

@@ekaylor4104 aight

i agree that endwalker monk was more fun to play, but (outside of the unintended rotation mentioned in the video) you still want to use twin snakes and demolish, since they make your other gcds do more damage. plus opo opo has always been the higest dps set of gcds, at least since endwalker, but you still want to incorporate a solar nadi in to one of your perfect balances in order to access phantom rush. again, still wish they would go back to 6.0 monk since i enjoyed the juggling of the dot/buff and the skill expression it enabled, not to mention using dk>dk>sss before the end of a fight for the extra damage, but it seems very unlikely that it will be reverted at this point. black mage has had MUCH more pushback, and it seems like they arent going to do much to change that except change potencies and make umbral soul really low level

@@liviealamodethe old solar nadi was at least interesting as it gave a lot of freedom in how you reapply the ts/demo timers, now it’s just “press three buttons”

​@@ThisIsOurParadiseIt was always just press 3 buttons unless you were intentionally drifting your gcds

AST mains: "First time?"

@@damir_van_kalaz I feel so bad for AST mains, every expansion is a fight for their sanity.

​​@@damir_van_kalaz MNK: nah we've been around longer and reworked every patch and expansion besides EW patches.

@@Nodnarb59 Yes. And the reason that happens is because Monks endlessly complain about their job. They are the most impossible to please players.

We don’t complain. We adapt to our cursed lifestyle until the next three patches come along and shuffle it up again.

ok go play reaper or viper then

@@kumoko3728Womp Womp

Dude get good

when has monk ever had a normal rotation even last expansion the "normal rotation" needed you to have high FPS or use third party tools...

@@Cherryblossoms110it didn’t require either of those lol

You... Think that's complicated? It's literally pressing 4 buttons in sequence over again. Like the least complicated DPS rotation, and the rotations aren't even very complicated to begin with.

mnk will be smn levels of rotation and u mfs will still call it complicated

@@SaveMeXenu ok calm down cupcake. learn how to take a joke

@@Ducksquare wow some1 got butthurt lmao

@stevesaitz1706 are u mad stevie boy that you're bad at a video game

That’s the point of the whole video

You're the reason the latest MSQ has flashbacks every 5 seconds and makes the NPCs point out obvious things in their dialogue.

@@damir_van_kalaz💀💀💀

you must be really smart

wow its like a new patch comes with new job changes .... and people don't like those changes

Where TF is the complaint in the video?!?!

No. I main MNK
