An Idiot's Skills/Abilities Guide to MONK!!! | FFXIV

hello so you just started final fantasy xiv you created your warrior light and now you're stuck in picking a job you look down at your hands and you think to yourself i want to punch things so you picked pugilist monk is one of the coolest melee dps ever they literally said screw weapons i want to punch everything so they use their fists or other weapons to help them punch things harder monk is also the fastest class in the game so be warned you're going to be pressing every key in your keyboard at the speed of sound muck overall can be a little confusing to get down so let's take a look let's start with your main combo and forms boot shine and dragon kick are your combo starters with the rear and flank positional respectively both of these moves will put you in raptor form allowing you to use either twin snakes which will give you a personal damage buff called discipline fist or true strike those moves will grant you coral form which will allow you to use demolish a damage overtime with a rear positional or snap punch which has a flank positional both of these moves will put you in oppo oppo form and the combo repeats itself when in oppa oppo dragon kick will grant a buff called leaden fist which will increase your next boot shine's potency boot shine will always be a critical hit when under oppo oppo as well your aoe combo will also correspond to your forms you're able to go from single target to aoe or aoe to single target form shift will make it so your next combo skill can be used without any form being active you'll want to use form shift before an encounter starts then go right into dragon kick granting you lead and fist then into twin snakes then it's a demolish more information on the opener will be in the description below perfect balance will do the same thing as form shift except it makes your next three attacks be able to be used regardless of your current form perfect balance will really do anything at first but at level 60 you unlock masterful blitz and your master's gauge using perfect balance your weapon skills will each grant different beast chakras dragon kick and boot shine will grant you a purple beast chakra twin snakes and true strike will grant you a green beast chakra and demolish and snap punch will grant you a red beast chakra depending on how many different types of beast chakra you have masterful blitz will change to different moves having only one type will change into elixir field a kamihamiha attack which does aoe damage having two types will change it to celestial revolution a single target attack and finally with three different types the move will change to flint strike which is another aoe attack at level 86 flint strike will change to rising phoenix which is stronger and looks cooler using either elixir field or celestia revolution will grant you a lunar naughty while flintstrake or if rising phoenix will grant you a solar nodding with both lunar and solar naughties and having any beast chakra masterful blitz will change to tornado kick an aoe attack that does insane damage at level 90 tornado kick will be replaced with phantom rush which looks really freaking cool but also super hilarious without spell effects on and it doesn't insane a thousand potency of damage after any masterful blitz moves you'll get form shift besides your beast chakra you also have normal chakra you'll unlock meditation at level 15 and with this comes your chakra gauge using meditation out of combat will instantly give you all five chakra this should be used before an encounter along with form shift when in combat this move has a one second cooldown and you can spam it to get chakra one at a time you should only be doing this when there's down time during a fight to get your chakra up before the boss becomes targetable again with all five chakra meditation will change to steal peak or the forbidden chakra at level 54. you also have an aoe chakra attack called howling fist which will upgrade to enlightenment at level 74. you'll gain chakra when you do critical hits to enemies the chance of opening a chakra will increase as you level up with level 74 guaranteeing a chakra when you land a critical hit brotherhood will increase you and your party's damage by five percent along with granting them a special buff called meditated brotherhood with this active your party members have a 20 chance of opening a chakra for you at level 88 every single attack you land will open up a chakra regardless if it's a critical hit or not flash step or sorry thunder clap is monk's gap closer where you swoop to either an enemy or an ally you'll start with two charges of thunderclap but will gain a third charge at level 84. mantra will increase the hp recovered from healing spells and abilities by 10 for you and your party this is very useful in situations for when the party takes a massive hit and needs to be healed quickly brittle of earth will reduce your damage taken by twenty percent for ten seconds you have three charges of this move and it's very useful for mitigating any raid wide attack riddle of fire is a personal damage buff that lasts for 20 seconds riddle of wind will reduce your auto attack delay by 50 percent for 15 seconds making you auto attack really fast alright alright let's talk about these two moves a naughtman and six-sided star are by far the weirdest moves in monk's kit annotman will put your current form and disciplined fists to their maximum durations and halt it for 30 seconds this move has only one use and that's during down time in a fight or when there's a phase transition you should be using meditation to get your chakra back then go into anatmen six-sided star is a strong attack that gives you a movement speed buff for five seconds and delays your next attack by around four seconds six-sided star has one use as well and that's when you need to delay your global cooldown in order to keep it rolling in an encounter an example of this would be when a boss has an attack that's around them and you need to get out but don't want to waste uptime because monk doesn't have a ranged attack but yeah that basically sums up monk so bye
