[7.01] Monk Time! I know the changes this job got kinda turned off some people to it. However I still think the job can be fun.

Small thing I forgot to mention:
– You can only get the Fury Stack from Dragonkick if you have Opo-opo Form active. Simply pressing Dragonkick without Opo-opo Form will not give you a Fury Stack. This why Form Shift is used at the start, since it allows Dragonkick to give the Fury Stack without needing to be in Opo-opo.

Perfect timing. After a few years, I just picked up Monk tonight and was fairly lost. Many thanks!
YEAHHH IM LEVELING PGL WITH MY DUMB IDIOT CAT BITCH HROTHGAR RN
Thank you for the guide! I played MNK back in ShB but I completely was lost at what it did throughout EW and DT. This guide helped me get back into it, thanks!
Watched the video, and I'm still confused by Monk. I must really be dumb…nah, I just have a different learning style.
I don't know about the job being "ruined," but I do wonder why they changed it. Like, they already reworked the job for Endwalker, so why do it again for Dawntrail? It's not as if the job had essential flaws or anything.
I'm fine with the removal of timers personally and thanks to the devs adjusting the fury stack count in 7.01 it plays more or less like EW Monk with new and stronger abilities. I actually played and finished DT before those adjustments though so that was fun.
In Endwalker I used your guide to play MNK. Now I’m using it again cause…why in the heck did they change it again!? Dang it SE!
The removal of the timers really didn't do much honestly since it still plays basically the same lol. Some just enjoyed micromanaging them.
RIP Dot
Ahhh perfect timing! I haven't played monk since like 2 updates ago and I was scared about about relearning things!
Thank you so much!
Clicked so damn fast
The rotation is literally the same, there's more buttons to press and more damage being dealt so it's even more fun now.
They keep finding new ways to make monk somehow more annoying and boring to play with every expansion.
Oh hey, I'm just starting to level Monk
I love the current monk I'm just missing the dot but oh well is not a big deal. Although we still lack a proper ranged option gcd
To those learning, it is still basically the same as EW MNK. They just added Fire/Wind GCDs and Quality of life changes like no more timers to distract you and can't cap Chakra anymore during Brotherhood.
Honestly these are the best guides out there imo. I’d rather know what everything does than just blindly try to follow whatever rotation The Balance mathed out. I feel like half the fun is trying to figure out how to optimize yourself
I love new monk. Same old monk just with no more dumb timer. Lets me start fights out on the other side of the combo. Its lovely
Sweet Hydaelyn this is helpful. I want to get in to Monk, but everything seemed so jarring with the combos. Thank you for breaking it down so well!
我最不喜歡玩MONK，遠程技能少又有方位攻擊限制，我不如玩舞者
DT monk feels so good. not having to manage buff and debuff timers feels great and the rotation is exactly the same
I'm so glad they removed the timers, my geriatric hand-eye coordination is loving the new Monk
bro doesnt sound as energic as long ago doing these videos, is he ok?¿
youre guide is great, its just too bad itll become outdated in a few months when they update the game and change monks rotation or skills again lol, I speak as monk main btw
Bless you, sir, for not being like so many other people and making a video that is all about optimal, DPS for savage, content, etc. Some of us (gasp!) are casual and will never do any of that, and are just entertained by presentations like this and the general idea of how a job works. I read online somewhere that it's just a game. If I wanted to know the optimal rotation so this job's DPS does four more points worth of damage in a minute than some other job (assuming one is coordinated enough), there are dozens of other videos I could go watch.
The fact that you had to make a disclaimer is disheartening. Few communities gatekeep themselves into oblivion as much as this one. No one is ever casual or hardcore enough for anyone else.
The new Riddle of Wind and Riddle of Fire follow ups have me confused about when to press them. If I want both of my Blitzes to finish with in the Brotherhood/Riddle of Fire timing, I'm not able to hit Fire's Reply before it fades. Or if I hit Fire's Reply, I lose my damage boosts before I finish my second Blitz. Not sure which to prioritize…

ROTATION!
Concise, informative, and to the point. Keep up the good work, these are fantastic videos! I love how you cover what you want to use each skill for and how they work without taking too long. Don't take this the wrong way, but it reminds me of a concise, sparknotes for lvl 100 vs the wesk alber leveling guides (which i love dearly but have a slightly different focus on rotation at each expac level cap). Keep up the good work!
This class requires you to study and get a degree from Monk University…
This might sound a bit stupid…. but do you have images of your HUDs for your combat jobs anywhere? Your button layouts make so much sense in my brain that its honestly made doing rotations way easier for me, hell its even made Dragoon finally click for me, but you of all people know you have blurred sections of your actual gameplay so I- embarrassingly must admit- that for the ones you Haven't yet made readily visible I've been recreating my layouts by matching the game icons with the blurred footage you have. It's a frankly unnecessary amount of effort and dedication on my part that I could be minimizing by… asking.
All I want to know is where did he get that monk weapon glam!! I want it for myself!
