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?

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 

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 =)

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.

Hammer Fist has:
 Errant Strikes
/useitem "Belt of the Ages"
Staggering Fist
crescent kick
/reactionautocounter
/cast "Hammer Fist"
/reactionautochain

(I also use it as my spam finisher button, in order to maximize staggering fist and crescent kick during certain buffs)

Exploding Heart has:
Fists of Celerity
quickening jolt
staggering fist
crescent kick
/wear "Flawless Pariah's Power Bladed Staff of Devastation"
/reactionautocounter
/cast "Palm Explodes the Heart"
/reactionautochain

Then I spam the previous macro as soon as cool down is up, and chain that until fist line is done, by then Fists has usually worn off and I use ashen hand for the remainder of the buff duration.

I will generally use the 2nd macro again for fists of transcendence

It works as a one button macro, I split ES and FoC because sometimes due to lag one may not fire.  Other times however they used to fire normally, it is all about latency I guess (only so many commands went through on time before it is sent in to the servers maybe?)


In LoL raids, when we hit our max damage bursts on non General Vicus bosses (which I love how fujitsu refered to as exploiting since we simply call out our buffs as I'd imagine bow does, wish I cared enough to dig through the mud of Xeth's forums to see what exploits his guild has been accused of  )

Palm explodes the heart for me usually ranges around 70-88k at the highest with a dot ranging from 6-12k

Fist chain ranges from 60-190k at the highest

They can fix whatever "bug" they want, I have never been an average monk and I won't be one after the change either.  If anything I find it funny that when there is talk of nerfs incoming suddenly Fujitsu is an average monk and can't for the life of him figure out how to burst over 100k whereas before he boasted breaking 6k on most parses and out damaging everyone in his guild.  You must have some insane secret damage or something Fujitsu, because I don't know how you can top 6k so much when you claim that you can't hit for more than 25-40k stacking ES and Fists of Celerity (by your own account on these boards).

I don't have great gear because I generally offer my members first crack at gear, but I think I know how to play my class.  It is just a game, it isn't rocket science, and you don't have to exploit to do burst damage similar to what Fusoya and Taliskar posted.

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 =)
