Since youtube doesn't allow "angled brackets" in the description here are the macros
Feast macros/ tips (that couldnt fit in the video!)
Tanks:
/qchat "Focus Attack" <e1>
Healers:
/qchat "Focus Attack" <e2>
Physical DPS:
/qchat "Focus Attack" <e3>
Ranged DPS:
/qchat "Focus Attack" <e3>
Use these for calling a target ahead of time, then swap to target last second, So you can confuse the enemy healer into healing wrong person preemptively thus, making your burst more effective
for a rule of thumb when playing MNK in feast always save 1 ST as an escape tool! This is important! As you can ST an Adreneline / wolf heart to escape when getting focused( since mnk has no free form escape).
As well 1 SSS is enough damage to secure an Adrenaline container 95% of the time
I used this guide, and now murder everyone. Very helpful.
I watched this video, and now I go brrr

Ubbi Dubbi thanks you sir.
MNK better than SAM in duels?
The running thing makes me laugh but i realized there are classes that can debuff my movements too.
What anime is that in the caster counter play part?
Monk Guide: Just play samurai, better mobility, better baiting options , better defenses, better self sustain, better pressure.
I have to say, I played PVP before the big rework and mostly played DRG, MCH, and RDM DRK and GNB for tank but played SAM and MNK for fun
I had a General Idea of how to play MNK and Burst window, but never thought of using Riddle of Fire Weaponskill buff with Six Sided Star and using the cooldown to drop my OGCDs
I would always use the PVP Combo for it and weaving OGCDs as much as possible between them, but the SSS is much easier that in my matches i've been able to blow up a lot of people before they can respond. Thanks
Thx dude cool guide, trying you rotation, but i think aoe is usles in pvp cause its make less damage and not good for bursting but with this persective from frontlines i give a try for this.
I love Monk 💖
