Perfect balance ffxiv5/19/2023 For convenience, I am going to call this cycle a “Form Cycle” to distinguish it from a rotation of many skills. ![]() In other words, each time you go through a rotation through the 3 forms, you “complete” a cycle. This is your ultimate bread & butter at all times. GL adds skill speed & damage, and can stack up to GL level 3 if you are at level 50. I shall call these “Secondary Damage Skills” from now on.Įach time you go through a skill in Coeurl form, it adds or maintains “Greased Lightning” (GL). (6) Demolish leaves a bleed-effect on the enemy, which after time, actually gives MORE total damage than any Primary Damage Skill. (4) Dragon Kick, (5) Twin Snakes and (6) Demolish deliver less INITIAL damage, but each of them leaves an effect behind (from now on, I’ll just call these effects “buffs”): (4) Dragon Kick reduces enemy defenses if it is performed in Opo-opo form. (1) Bootshine, (2) True Strike and (3) Snap Punch are “Primary Damage Skills” that deliver most INSTANT damage. Skills that can be performed in Coeurl form, and will lead to Opo-opo form: Skills that can be performed in Raptor form, and will lead to Coeurl form: Skills that can be performed in ANY form, and will lead to Raptor form: For convenience, I am going to give each of the skills a number: When you start off with your first move, you're in NO FORM at all. There are 3 forms – Opo-opo form, Raptor form and Coeurl form. The primary skills of a Pugilist/Monk are limited by forms.

You gotta start off by hammering lightly with small quick taps, and then gradually increase your strength and hit the nail harder and harder (and faster too, in the case of monk but not the nail). Here, I intend to explain in great details of how to maximize the Pugilist/Monk skills to help new comers pick up the class faster.Īs a monk, each of your attacks is pathetically puny, but you have the fastest recast time for your skills in the game, and your powers eventually build up through buffs along the way. ![]() However, at the same time, it may also be the most difficult class to master. Pugilist/Monk is also perhaps the coolest, most-fun class in the game. “Damage Dealer” or DD) that can deliver the most damage. In fact, if you do it right and if the condition permits, Pugilist/Monk is perhaps the one DPS class (Damage Per Second, a.k.a. Now don’t take it the wrong way, Pugilist/Monk is not weak. So yea, you already learned your strongest attack at level 1… You never will! Sorry, but your most primitive basic skill “Bootshine” is actually the most versatile, the most consistent, and possibly one of the most powerful skills you will ever learn (it auto-crits when you attack in Opo-opo form from rear).
