So suddenly, i'm bad cuz i can't read that? Never thought it'd come to that.

But anyways, my default hotkeys are for combo attacks. ToD is always part of my rotation, i'm just basing it off of my regular damage only and combos. I always open up bosses w/ PB, B4B, IR. Maybe i shoulda been more specific instead of being told i'm a horrible player.

That's his whole schtick.

Anyways, thanks Tsu for the proper reply. I'm just gonna keep using the parser to get the results i want. Like i said, just gonna base it off of the combo damage only (no dots, no buffs, just basic stance combos). See which one provides me the results.

MNKs 3 strongest attacks don't parse correctly though!

Lol that i know, i hate these parsers, there's no reliable way. I'm sticking to my usual way i guess, (non lazy) but i need to do some other work etc. Just can't wait for a reliable parser.

Don't think you can on PS3, PC it's just in char config menu:

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-09-25 17:04

Key thing there being to be on gamepad type controls but having kb+m stuff set up anyways, it seems.

**Nitsuki** · 2013-09-25 17:14

So... Weird, i can understand just doing R1 and switch to buffs, but like, to switch to the mouse to click or to press on the kb hotkeys, sounds pretty irritating. Lol

**Gokulo** · 2013-09-25 17:22

I think people use those mainly as shortcuts for 'not important' stuff, like you see in the screen: minions, gear sets etc.

**Kiarax** · 2013-09-25 17:52

Yeah mine is marks (for WAR really), TP call out for BRD to paeon and then generally random fight specific shit like telling people to stack up or calling out certain attacks. Everything else is on pad, I don't use any redundancy macros and everything fits easily across 2 cross bars.

**Nitsuki** · 2013-09-25 17:57

I feel like going back to my xbox controller. Just feels so right to play on that.

**trinironnie** · 2013-09-25 18:16

anyone got a good endgame rotation for controller >.>?

**Churchill** · 2013-09-25 19:10

Technically all I did was post my rotation, I never said anyone was bad.

**Alistaire** · 2013-09-25 21:31

I just unlocked MNK and I'm a bit disappointed, at least for now, as far as playing MNK instead of PUG. Doesn't seem @ 30 there's a whole lot gained vs lost. I'd been using Straight Shot and Raging Strikes and just loving the near-constant crits with all 3 buffs up. I do see I get a few more points of stats though...

So is there a boundary in level, or situations where I should PUG if I'm level synched down? Am I missing some key benefit to being MNK right at 30?

And also, what's the best site for updated tooltips? I got rockbreaker and was confused, neither gamerescape nor xivdb say anything about what the "18 second duration" is on it. http://xivdb.com/?skill/70/Rockbreaker shows the current description in game, gamerescape doesn't mention the 18s duration at all. I tried it out and there's no debuff or buff icon after using it, so there is no 18 second buff/debuff? Would be good to know what site is the best to look at for accurate details...

I'd like some more detail on this as well; even saying that order kind of leaves some room to specify some ratios there...Do I take a Sunstone Ring (2 STR 3 skill speed), or a Fluorite Ring (2 DEX but 3 crit rate)... STR>crit rate>skill speed...but in what amounts? Someone earlier here said skill speed is in milliseconds, that can't be right? even 1/100 seconds would be pretty shitty.

And someone somewhere said 1 STR was as good as 10 determination, which if determination > skill speed, then that ring example would basically boil down to 2 STR vs 3 crit rate.

**Berabouman** · 2013-09-26 03:15

Not a MNK/PUG question per se, but it was addressed here, so :

For those of you who have the keyboard hotbars displayed and use a controller as well, do you just have the bars displayed so you can check for cooldowns? Or do you use them with the mouse/number pad in addition to your controller use?

Thinking of tweaking my setup and this seems like it could be a good addition.

**Elcura** · 2013-09-26 07:03

I use them for long cool downs and procs for Haymaker, stuff like food, mounts, jobs or random macros and target I use gamepad mouse (just keep the cursor near where you want to use it).

Three? I can only think of two.
