I have seen Fusoya solo knights in library wing.  Once we even had a little race where he took one and the rest of the raid killed the other one.  We barely beat him.

edit:
Should have noted my main is Rokenn (lvl 50 bard) in BoW.  My Harm monk is currently lvl 49.

As someone who "exploits" current buffs, I don't macro any buffs into my thousand fist line.

I find that I do more damage macroing them into my Palm explodes the heart macro, then following up thousand fists line.

.....


Good stuff Murugan,  I will try it out in 5 levels.  Being only level 45, 1kfists/TF is all I got to work with at the moment =)

The margin between the classes are going to be very small. A monk with better gear will out dps a sorcerer, as well as different fights favoring different classes. Even when the classes are considered complete in terms of balancing you will see monks as #1 dps and sorcerers who are #5. Variations due to skill, gear, and which encounter will all impact where you stand as a DPS class. Just because you play a monk doesn't meant you will not be able to surpass a rogue or sorcerer in terms of damage.
Exactly how it should be.  Make player skill the determinant, not broken mechanics or bugged abilities.

It works just fine.  Was using it last night and this morning camping my FD rings (got one, need one more).

Press one-
Belt of Ages - activates. no Global cooldown, starts BoA cooldown
Fist of Celerity - activates. no global cooldown, starts FoC cooldown
Thousand fists - activates. triggers GC and 1kfists coodown
Jin Surge - skipped due to GC
Thundering Fists - skipped due to GC

wait for GC to cycle.
Press two-
Belt of Ages - skiped due to cooldown
Fist of Celerity - skipped due to cooldown
Thousand fists - skipped due to cooldown
Jin Surge - activates. no global cooldown
Thundering Fists - activates. trigger global cooldown and TF cooldown.

My real question, more directly stated is: Will I net more damage if I move JS before 1k fists?
Am I missing anything I could macro in?
I usually save force crit jin ability to open this up with.  Nice to drop a mob from 30% to 2% in 2 seconds  uglystupid2

Oh, and this macro is specifictly built to exploit the current combat mechanics.  I fully expect this to drop considerable when they fix it.  Even went back and replaced my threstan crafted gear with Kojani to get a few more points =)

In the mean time I will enjoy my 20k crits =)

I've checked those lists and they do not really list what I am looking for.   The non-forum list is missing some aum learned abilities.  The posts are organized in a why that doesn't really show where the abilities are aquired from.
Going to start a google shared document with abilities set out in a more logical faction.  Should have something worth posting by this weekend.

So, been playing around with macro's and trying to get these legenadry big hits I've been reading about.  Current macro I've been using and liking-
lvl 45 Harm Monk

/itemuse "Belt of Ages" (+10% damage/haste.  usuable from inventory)
/cast "Fists of Celerity
/cast "Thousand Fists x"
/cast "Jin Surge x"
/cast "Thundering Fists x"

My average hits (self buffs only) with this have been 4-5k 1k fists and 5-6k on TF.  Normal crits are usually in the 10k, range.  Duo'ig with a bard I had a high hit of 33k  on TF =)

I did not run any full parses, but it seems JS before TF nets more dps then having it prior to 1k fists.  Has anyone else played around with these?

Is there a list of Aum learned abilities anywhere?  None are listed current abilities list.

You understanding of the +damage bug is skewed.  Your example is how it is going to work after the fix.  Go re-read Talisker's post to see how it is working now.  When you combine massize +flat damage buffs you get in a raid, with that damage being applied multiple times to the same attack is where you get the problem.  In solo/group play you will barely notice any difference pre/post dps fix.
