Monk has five chakras that can be either opened or closed. Luckily, it has been made substantially easier since the introduction of the Shadowbringers update. Keeping them up at all times is an incredibly important aspect of playing this job. You can generate these stacks with some of your weaponskills.Ī max level Monk can hold up to four of these stacks. They have a relatively short duration of 16 seconds. Each stack of Greased Lightning provides +10% damage dealt and reduces your cast and recast timers of weaponskills and spells, as well as the auto-attack delay by 5%. The stacks of Greased Lightning are displayed on Lightning Gauge, which is Monk's first job gauge. They are Lightning Gauge and Chakra Gauge. Both of them are stacking mechanisms, but how you acquire and utilize these resources are much different. Monks have a bit more freedom since they have access to three options on every step (one AoE option and two single-target ones). Overall, the whole mechanic is just a small twist on the classic "one-two-three" combo that many other jobs have. Doing that will grant you a stack of Greased Lightning and return you to the Opo-opo form. After you execute one of the Raptor skills, you can perform one of the Coeurl weaponskills. Executing an Opo-opo skill makes you take the Raptor form. You can use Opo-opo skills even if you're not in any form, but having it will grant you some empowering effects. There are three available ones: Opo-opo, Raptor, and Couerl. Direct Hit is also good as a second priority.īesides the positional special effects, Monk's weaponskills feature another interesting mechanic – forms. It should be the first stat to look at after weapon damage. Monks wear leather armors and use fist weapons.Īttribute-wise, Monk's kit can get a lot of value from high Critical Rate, so getting a lot of it from your gear is always a good idea. The Pugilist's Guild is located on Steps of Nald in Ul'dah. To become a Monk, you first have to get level 30 as Pugilist. Being able to proc them consistently, eventually sums up in a major DPS increase. While these directional bonuses are not groundbreaking most of the time, they are prevalent in every weaponskill. Heavy reliance on positional has always been a key element of this character's identity. Since its first iteration in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Monk was a very active, unique DPS job. The way Monks combine their weaponskills is also slightly different than other melee DPS jobs. This job also utilizes Greased Lightning - a stacking mechanic that allows them to increase their damage output. They deal damage with punches and kicks while taking advantage of positioning to become even more effective. Monks are the Final Fantasy XIV martial arts experts.
