So i finally decided to go make the change from a dragon style monk to a harmonius style and am trying to better my fighting ability with my new moves. When I played a dragon monk it was pretty straight forward, go storm and spam boundless then six dragon strike while hitting finishers and jin attacks when needed.

So far I've started off every combat in crane applying both adder and eagle and switching to tiger to finish them down sometimes switching back in crane to reapply. Any other combos I should be thinking about or am I on the right track?

Eagle Claw is cheap enough to be used from Tiger stance. Since it deals low damage, you really want the added crit chance (so you can get your finisher chains going) rather than saving ~10 endurance.
Otherwise it's pretty much straightforward, but you can afford (crit-wise) to use a two-hander rather than fists, which deals a world of diffrence in damage on specials.

Yeah I use a macro that switches me to Crane to apply Deadly Adder then macros me back to Tiger.

Only ability that uses a lot of endurance even w/ cleric renewal I deplete my endurance pretty fast with all my debuffs.

Usually I can up keep with all of them while doing other attacks.

40 Harmy here

I always stay in tiger when im fighting, i use eagle claw then deadly adder hand, the end pull isn't that bad and i crit so often i spend more time hitting finishers than anything else so im never using a lot of end consistently.  I only use boundless fist when the dazed icon is on it, otherwise i only use eagle claw and deadly adder to start off and i dont use them again until their duration runs out.  all i use inbetween are finishers, crescent kick and ashen hand.  None of these other abilities use a lot of end, (hardly any even) and even though jin attacks break end regen, i still have 16 seconds before i need to cast deadly or eagle again.   Usually the mob is dead before that though =D

Today i will be getting my Graystone staff woot!  they will die even faster!  Definately go 2handing with tiger stance.
