chickennugget6684: brotherhood lasts 20 seconds?
the recast is still just 120?
SIX MONKS IS ALIVE
chexrail: This expac has some of the most underwhelming job changes, may as well call it endwalker 2 every job got the same change, a button to press under 2 minutes making them even more to the same of each other.
MrRyu45: I actually like the combo changes. This looks more interesting to manage over damage buff and DoT imo.
ehko9989: I'm amazed so few people noticed the mistake here. The guaranteed crit from Bootshine/Leaping Opo doesn't come from Leaden Fist (right now) or from spending a Opo-opo's fury stack (in DT), it comes from being in the opo-opo stance and nothing else.

That said, thanks for the coverage ! With all the crazy good videos you've made this past year or so, getting into the media tour was deserved !
valiant7251: Really disappointed to see those changes
Monk having a DOT opened up some really cool skill expression in some select fights, particularly those with two targets like TEA
And these changes also mean monk will need even less positional variation than before.
I hope the elongated GCD rotation cycle for downtime really makes it shine
lecrab8090: These videos are great. Credit where it's due, Rinon made the absolute most of his media tour access.
awesomeuno1: All of the riddle moves getting extensions seems great, thanks for the vod!
davidbonney9841: I'm not sure if it's a tooltip oversight or if it's an intended change, but I noticed SSS adds 80 potency per chakra open and doesn't list an upper limit. Brotherhood allows up to 10 chakra to be open (as opposed to naming them overflowing chakra stacks or something of that nature). I would love to test to see if the 10-chakra SSS dump really can hit for over 1500 potency.
Veotax: Ooh! This has refreshed Monk for me, I think!
I started playing in Stormblood and I've been a MNK main the whole time, except for most of EW's patch cycle, and I've been actively thinking about changing main for DT, but I think these changes have shaken it up enough that I want to continue as MNK for at least the next expansion!
Fidel_Castbro: As a monk main the long story short is that, personally, I'm in the six sided star finisher boat. If I continue with 1.94 GCD monk going into Dawntrail that means you can comfortably fit 10 GCDs in 19.4 seconds giving you .6 seconds to get the 11th one in. What I think will be the real thing we need to test is what is going to be the Lunar Nadi combination because now that we have Pouncing Coeurl that is 1200 potency with 3 GCDs vs the 1040 potency but 2 of those are guaranteed crits on Leaping Opo but its probably going to be a case by case basis of do you have 3 Couerl fury then use PC PC PC and do you not have 3 Coeurl fury then LO DK LO. So assuming you have your Fury Gauge filled on all 3 before going into your 2 minutes your GCD buttons are probably going to look like PC PC PC PR LO DK LO EB WR FR SSS and that's not even going into what its going to look like with all the extra weaves we can get in now with an extra 5 seconds of buff windows
XieronDraxin: Monk's are LIVING this expansion, I'm so ready
