Not sure who is still left and raids, but i felt gu5 pretty hard. 

Coda+psi buff + aum kor used to stack and reduce 1 min attacks to about 20s reuse.

Now none stack and half the time the psi buff doesnt work if i had aum kor on and cancle one or the other.  Also 1 min attacks are now 43s at the fastest now, and 47s on average.

In turn my average dps went from 5-6k (no dmg exploits since i dont know them) to about 1.7-3.3k.....my hits are still the same, thousand fist lands for about 20-35k.  Just instead of every 17s its every 47. 

Its multy fold, but yes, thousand fist x4 every 20 seconds was 90% of my dps, because it took 8 seconds to do all 4 hits, and then only 12 seconds until i could do it again.

That along with the 5 piece armor bonus that lets us proc fist of celerity is how i did most of my dps. 

Little things i did for more dps was maxing int instead of dex, in a raid i never have issues with cits so the 20% bonus for 900 dex was worthless.  After removing all dex and putting it into int, my secret of flame went from 1100 dmg to 2600 ish dmg.  I lost maybe 5% crit for doing that (still get to 700 raid buffed dex, 1200 str, and 900 int) so the net effect was moot.

Aum kor + bard coda + psi refresh haste was huge. 

Still parse above 5k 90% of all boss fights,  according to your guild's parser fujitsu (which I finally got to work) not sure what you are doing wrong.

Maybe it is your GRAYSTONE STAFF!!! 


My setup:
Drunken monk, use offensive stance the entire time.  With 2 molds, legions choking grasp, my masterwork staff, and 6 pieces of crafted.

http://vgplayers.station.sony.com/characters.vm?characterId=64424558158 < my gear (don't laugh, I pass most stuff to members)

Not pictured is the legions choking grasp, and striking wrap I use the majority of the time (or masterwork depending on the day and when they uploaded to vgplayers).  I also use a damage rune before every boss fight.

My unbuffed thousand fists hit for 10-30k, my buffed hit for 35k+ (highest 900+, average around 70k if I hit the timing right they can be over 100/200k regularly), I use quickening jolt over frenzy my palm explodes the heart is pretty stable at 200-300k, highest 450k that I have seen.

Macroed crescent kick and staggering punch into ashen hand, boundless fist, and /reactionautochain macros.  Unbuffed 540 STR, 310 INT (I have only capped str once, never gotten above 750 int).  I always stack errant strikes and fists of celerity.  Masterwork devastation staff is macroed in for thousand fist and palm explodes the heart, and use hand to hand the rest of the time for secret damage/crit.  I try to limit myself to 4 FD's a fight if possible.  I time 5 min abilities with the rest of my guild, but other than that I dont know what I could be doing that you aren't, even two box healing on my bear shaman I will top out near or at 4k, but I don't parse 1.7k even solo or tossing shuriken and am in the mid 3k range in 6 man groups farming named for plat coins.

During a fight I'll generally lead off with crescent kick>boundless fist, then go into my exploding heart chain.  I'll fd after exploding heart, then go into the thousand fist chain followed by my ashen hand macro and then FD again once my ES wears off.  While waiting for my 5 min's to refresh I use ashen fist > thousand fist > Divine Typhoon>Drunken Palm.  I never use flying kick, and spam my ashen hand macro when the other three chains are not available or if I'm running high on jin otherwise I'll use boundless fist (which hits for 12-20k generally).  I also never use jin surge, saving all my jin for ES/ Fists of Celerity and mostly Ashen Hand. 

According to xanadu's parser staggering punch is my money maker with the highest % of my damage, followed by thousand fist chain (combined), palm explodes the heart, secret of flames, Ashen Hand, etc. down the line.

My guild raids with full buffs from all classes/styles currently but war cleric, and wolf shaman (though we are working on boxed chars specifically for buffing for these).

If I had to guess I would say your guild is missing some buffs, did you lose any class to AoC or something that might be causing it?

Also are you parsing the fight or is someone else, I noticed large discrepancies between my self parses using xanadu/pain's parser and a guild mate using vg log parser for my damage (though I haven't noticed any changes to combat log) during a 12 person archon fight.  Though it could be just an isolated incident (the person does not usually parse) 

Well it never worked for me before, and now it does.  They must have done something.

Then maybe you are just a liar, like when you said you couldn't break 20k (then edited it to 30 or 40k) on thousands fists yet were parsing 6k "easily".

My guess is you are one of those people who whines about your class so no one thinks you are OP, or maybe just because you like to whine.

I will have fun with GU6, finally I'll be able to compete for the top of dps charts because of my makeup and skill and not because of my broken class.

/yawn flame on murugan. Doesnt effect me in the least, you've called me a liar enough times that i know your just childish and not to take you seriously.

Ron... ill talk to hist about it, but hes in europe still so it might be a bit.  the log files have drasticlly changed since gu5.  we are still able to parse but we get funny read outs.

I don't care if you take me seriously, I just want other people to realize that you are full of it.

I used to respect what I thought was dedication to the class, and maybe that is what you are doing by trying to somehow prevent us from getting nerfed in your mind (which is not going to happen, because the devs are aware of the issue and have seen it first hand so no amount of denial on your part is gonna change that).  But it doesn't necessarily help new monks for you to come to this board or to ffxiplayers and spread all this false information.

Iron hand giving 350 damage, fist of celerity causing a global cool down, your complete misunderstanding of how flat damage buffs affect our abilities, and now you claiming that you actually ever parsed 1.7k.  I mean you are so transparent it is pathetic, you are a liar. 

There is no way you parse 1.7k, I don't have to use any chains to parse above 3k I can spam my one button boundless fist macro all night and parse well above 3k while two boxing and main healing on my shaman.  I can and have fought naked and parsed above 3k, I know necro pets that parse better than 1.7k.  Admit that you are a liar and maybe I'd leave it alone, but if not then maybe someone should tell your elite raiding guild that they should find a replacement since 1.7k is pathetic for a raiding monk, especially one with all your gear.

If you are going to manufacture numbers to try and sway opinion back in our favor maybe try a little harder, I doubt anyone who has raided with you or another drunken monk would believe those numbers.

For a short time these forums were a source of good information, some of it even posted by you unfortunately since the melee fix was announced it has quickly regressed into a useless pile of whiny posts (also mainly posted by you) and I wouldn't forward even the most clueless noobie monk here for information.

I would definitly concur that the hiting and laggy preformance post GU5 has severly impacted a lot of our DPS mine included.  Can't actually chain attacks smoothly at all.  Lots of delays...quite annoying.
