[HELP] *Official* "Fix My Monk" Thread

Heroic Imperator. (I hate this boss.)

I know we aren't killing adds fast enough in Phase 3, and not killing reaver/warmages fast enough in phase 3/4 transistion.

Trying to ignore what the RAID is doing wrong, is there anything that I'm doing wrong? And where can I improve?
According to the AskMrRobot parses my DPS is VERY low for my item level, I'm wondering if this is because I'm moving out and using transcendence for force novas, if it's because I'm holding cooldowns for the burst phases, or just poor TeB usage/poor play in general.

Thanks in advance

Alright guys! I am sticking to this class/spec because I love the playstyle and I hope for singletarget buffs somewhere in the future!
With that said, I am not satisified with my own performance lately. I would highly appreciate if you could take a look at my logs and give me some feedback (Butcher for instance is just HORRIBLE). Be hard on me, let it rain I can take it!

Hope you can point me in the right direction so I can be a better Monk!

Butcher tends to be the easiest assessment of ability, if you can't do X on Butcher, chances are you can't do it on other fights. As I said in your other thread:

On your butcher kill Feb 1st:
Tiger Power was 88%, should be practically 100%
TEB was used with FoF but seemingly ignoring any other procs. You want to use TEB to maximize other dps increases like trinkets and 690 ring procs, FoF will likely fall into the 15s buff somewhere.
Missed Casts: 2 FoF, 7 RSK, 5 Chi Wave, 1 Touch of Karma, 1 Beserking, 2 Energizing Brew.

Not using Energizing Brew results in you missing energy, hence missing chi, hence missing casts of things like FoF.

So got my mythic Imperator Kill yesterday which I am pretty happy about (yay). What I am not happy about was my healing. I actually did worse on the kill than any previous attempt give or take a few. Looking at suplifts logs as well as other peoples videos I noticed you are all hitting 40k hps pretty easily while I seem to be struggling to even get close to that. For the majority of our 100+ attempts I was running with RJW and Tigers Lust. However yesterday, I thought I would give Spinning Crane Kick and Chi Torpedo (with celerity) a go for the fact I would be spending less mana and so could spam some more (mana has never been that much of an issue though). It worked pretty nicely.

However I am still (and have not been for a little while now) happy with my healing. I think I have some idea as to why my healing is not hitting the same values. E.g. Raid comp and tactic but could really use a hand in nit picking exactly where my problems lie.

Here are 2 logs (one night wiping using RJW and last nights kill using SCK and Chi Torpedo)

Any help would be appreciated.

I also have been stacking more MS rather than haste so I am sitting at about a third of the haste of some people (could be the reason why?)

Another Guild member and I have been trying to work with our Monk and honestly we have no clue whats going on. On Single targets his damage is usually slightly higher than mine (Tank), but on cleave Fights hes normally much higher and a more respectable dps for his Ilvl. We thought it might be the class, but taking looking at the someone similar geared on the logs and got confused at what we were looking at.

Any insight on to what we can have him do would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am rather fresh to WW, been 100 around a week. Yet, I am just struggling to hit acceptable dps/damage. I am aware that my trinkets are really lacking, it is something I am working on. Please, MMO-C community, help me answer - why do leaves fall?

Hi,

i compared my DPS with the other HC logs at warcraftlogs... and its definitly too low for the ilvl i have.
Please have a look at all 3 fights and give me some advice... im out of ideas...

Edit: Anyone got an idea?

Hi guys. We have a monk tank who does really low DPS in the range of 5-6k. I'm a total noob on monks since I've never played it and it's just a class I don't 'get'. Hoping you guys can tell me why someone on a boss all the time can pull such low dps.

He is practically afk just by looking through logs.

[testsubjectzz]

I would say that about him but he is doing his job on gruul. Moving him for us to take slice so I don't know if he is just not hitting buttons because it looks like he is but they do very little damage

If you lookk at his casts and take away GotOx he falls to 3rd to last on casts. Brewmasters should be able to fill every GCD with at least Tiger Palm, which he somehow cast only 6 times in a 6:30 fight.

Hey guys/gals. Sorry, I'm new to register here and this board won't let me post links yet, so you'll have to copy paste. I'm running a mistweaver and I'm constantly bottom of the charts (up against a hpriest, disc, druid, and shaman). Suggestions?

28/41 possible Keg Smashes. 66 Tiger Palms in a 5 min 30 fight. Should be way higher, tiger palm cost no energy or chi, should be filling your globals in between Keg Smashes with this. Expel Harm cast only 15 times, should use more, does more DPS and HPS than jab (glyph to cost 35 energy). You're jabbing too much, jab is bad, do not jab. You should only jab if you 70-> energy and Keg Smash is 3+ secs from coming off cooldown.
Otherwise you have the basics down with Shuffle at least. Should of taken Diffuse Magic/Dampen Harm for this fight tho for Inferno Slices.

Sounds like you're spamming Jab too much thus wasting energy and losting Keg Smash casts. Focus on filling downtime with tigerpalm instead of jab. You'll see a bigger DPS increase and have a higher shuffle uptime, giving you some breathing space.

You also missed half your Chi Wave casts, you should be using it off cd as well. It's a DPS boost.

Thank you for a nice insight. Must indeed get more weak aura's. I seem to miss some cd's being up. What actually do you feel is better when sitting on 3 chi and keg coming up? I seem to choose now to jab > chi exp > keg but feel like that's a loss.
Only read last week indeed that i should jab less so trying to fix that but can't seem to find a nice way to redo my keybindings yet. Hopefully some more time this weekend to fix that

I feel like I'm just getting pounded by everything I'm tanking. I've read and posted many times in the Main BrM guide looking for answers and some tips. I just feel like I'm taking so much damage I'm just causing my raid group issues. My shuffle uptime seems decent to me. I could be wrong. Maybe I'm not purifying enough. It seemed like I purified 71% of my stagger on Gruul. I don't know if it's just a lack of gear or a lack of skill. I've asked our disc priest and he seems to think I'm doing fine. I just feel like I'm not. It's been bugging me the past couple of days and I would love some help. Thanks

It depends and this comes with experience. If its a cleave fight (Iron Maiden/Twins) etc then i prefer to Keg Smash and 4x ChiEx.

If its single target 2 ChiEx is actually more dps than a 3 or 4 ChiEx. So ideally when not actively tanking you should be spamming as many 2x ChiEx as poss, it also allows you to build more shuffle.

So TLDR 4x ChiEx for Cleave, 2/3 for Single target.

On mobile so cant see too in depth but general rotation seems okay. Missed 5 potential Keg Smashes and used Serenity only 3 out of a possible 4 times. Tiger palm buff around 90% uptime? Should be filling any globals you can with these. Expel harm rarely used.

Also didnt see Fort Brew used afaik. Again looking through mobile so probs missed some things

My gear is really high - I know I havea tank trinket I am trying to replace that - n butcher I tend to do between 22-24k but the more I see I am not doing enough for my ilvl the more it gets me down and then inturn affects my dps.

I have weakauras to track tiger power and RSK, I try to use fof on cooldown but do not know why I am not getting enough out and any help would be appreciated
