OK time to study 6.0 MNK resources
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:25 PM
first thing of note
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:25 PM
MNK's natural chakra accumulation is a separate source of chakra from brotherhood
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:25 PM
what this means:
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:25 PM
- if you do an AOE and get five crits, you will only get one chakra from it
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:26 PM
- if you get a crit while brotherhood is up, then you'll get one guaranteed chakra from the crit and potentially get a second chakra from brotherhood

as suspected, when using phantom rush I want to do three opo-opo attacks
Ken
@mugennoken
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:27 PM
aw that’s a bit disappointing, I say foolishly, I just loved those moments of hitting a single AOE and watching my chakra blow up in an instant
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:27 PM
because any combination will cuase the phantom rush and opo-opo has the highest raw potency
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:27 PM
Ken honestly once you get brotherhood mastery your chakra gain rate is absurd
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:28 PM
like doing three or four forbidden chakras in one buff period absurd
Ken
@mugennoken
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:28 PM
That’s why I said I was foolish, hahahaha
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:28 PM
OK so, buff usage
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:29 PM
RoF is on 60s and Brotherhood is on 120s
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:29 PM
both should be used on cooldown
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:29 PM
creating odd windows (RoF only) and even windows (RoF+BH)
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:30 PM
so every odd minute of the fight, you want to aim for:
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:31 PM
Twin Snakes -> Demolish -> BS/DK (whichever comes next in your alternation) -> Perfect balance -> Three more opo-opo moves -> Elixir Field
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:32 PM
and-- oh okay I get it
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:32 PM
ok so here's how the PB cooldown functions
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:32 PM
PB has 2 charges and a 40s timer
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:32 PM
you don't just use this on cooldown
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:33 PM
you use it once on odd minutes and twice on even minutes
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:33 PM
so that on the weaker DPS period you get one blitz and on the stronger DPS period you get two blitzes
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:34 PM
new interesting lore: the opener actually does two phoenix risings
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:34 PM
which wastes one solar nadi
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:34 PM
because if you get both nadi in your opener
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:35 PM
then phantom rush will line up with your odd windows instead of your even windows
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:35 PM
which is suboptimal
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win

Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:37 PM
that's not too unmanageable
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:38 PM
there's an alternate that does dual lunar nadi instead of dual solar but it sounds like they're VERY close in strength
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:38 PM
to the point that circumstances change which one is stronger
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:38 PM
so I'll dedicate to dual solar opener
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:39 PM
- Riddle of Wind is more or less just press on cooldown forever
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:40 PM
- SSS is actually described as a useful utility move
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:40 PM
do it right before the boss moves away or becomes untargetable
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:40 PM
- Mantra does affect shields if they're based on healing amount
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:50 PM
so here's the hardest part of all this
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:50 PM
the normal rotation is
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:50 PM
BS > Twin > Whatever
DK > True > Whatever
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:50 PM
but if I do a blitz and have a leaden fist after it
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
then the optimal thing to do from there is
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
- BS to pop leaden fist
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
- Twin Snakes to reset buff
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
- Demolish to reset dot
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
meaning now it's
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
BS > True > Whatever
DK > Twin > Whatever
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:51 PM
reversing the pairs until the next PB window
Ken
@mugennoken
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 8:15 PM
Wouldn’t you want Demolish in your opener or is my brain still stuck in Stormblood MNK
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 8:16 PM
there is one
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win

Ken
@mugennoken
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 8:19 PM
Ah right that makes sense

Sorry I was waist deep in super cursed Stormblood MNK openers and it’s probably part of why I could never adjust to Shadowbringers MNK or playing remotely like a normal person.

I can’t say MNK was GOOD then, but it etched something into my muscle memory I still have trouble breaking out of.
Ken
@mugennoken
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 8:20 PM
Once the SUPER cursed Anantman openers came to be i ran away screaming.
Quinn Angstrom
@quinn2win
Tue, Dec 14, 2021 8:20 PM
I am pleased to report that 5.3 killed the anatman opener for good
