WW Monk DPS rotation help please

[Redsuns 0]

Hey All, I've been surfing the forums for awhile now trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong in my rotation. I'm not sure if I am opening incorrectly or just doing a really bad job maintaining my dps once I start. I came back from a long hiatus like a lot of people and picked up a wind walker Monk over my original warlock and found it way more challenging.

 

My Monk can be found here http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/archimonde/Redsuns/simple.

Since noticing my issue with DPS I have been combat logging to try and compare between follow guild monks.

 

They can be found http://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/combatlog/f4e6d844-67f4-48e9-a352-04a62c31dbe1/report/1#v=0,d=0

Tonight's raid is here https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/TZJV18qD4gcWLaXk#fight=7&source=14.

 

I should mention I have been sticking to Chi Exp because my serenity rotation is really rough(ss Xuen -> RSK -> TP-> Chi Brew ->Chi Brew -> Serenity -> Bok -> Bok ->Bok -> Bok -> Bok-> RSK((if it off CD or another Bok)) -> BOK -BOK-> BoK-> TEB->FoF).I open FSK, Xuen, and Exp Harm, Jab, RSK,TP, JAB,TB, Jab, Jab,Chi Exp,RSK,Chi Exp, TB, FOF. Then try to maintain that RSK and TP debuff, mainly though I am spamming TB and Chi Exp as much as I can and FOF when it is off CD. The sucky part is I seem to maintain a 23-25k even after getting new gear, this is the same DPS I was putting out in highmaul. It be great to get a recommended rotation, I'm still trying to figure out how guild mates go in with a 40k opener and barely drop. Typically they sit mid to high 30's which is where I'm assuming I should be.  Any help would be a great, if I have to break myself of my bad ways so be it. I will happily learn a new rotation and try to fix things. Thank you much, I really want to be able to contribute correctly on guild runs.

This is the opener I use as Windwalker (this wouldn't change with Chi Explosion):

 

Prepot and right-click boss

FSK to melee range

Xuen

Chi Brew

Tiger Palm

Chi Brew

Rising Sun Kick

Jab/EH to 4 Chi

TEB+Fists of Fury

Continue rotation - good time to use Energizing Brew after the next couple Jabs

 

Notice that I used Tiger Palm before RSK in the opener, using a weak ability to buff a powerful one rather than the other way around. From that point on, my goal is to keep 100% uptime on Tiger Power, use RSK and FoF as many times as possible and spend as much Energy as possible on Jab without missing uses of RSK and FoF or Combo Breaker procs.

 

Of concern in your log:

 

- Must use potions/flasks if you are serious about performance

- No usage of Troll racial

- RSK and Tiger Power both fell off

- Energy was capped many times, wasting generation

- Missed uses of FoF

- First use of EB was delayed

- Usage of Combo Breaker procs was delayed

Does that mean you delay Serenity until after the TeB+FoF?

Thank you Tarazet, I will take your suggestions and work them into my rotation and change the concerns.

Yes. The chance that you'll miss an opportunity to use Serenity because you delayed the first one another 5 seconds, is fairly small.

And honestly, you're really not "missing" your TEB with the Serenity.  If you're fast enough/efficient enough with your opener rotation, you'll be finishing Serenity right about the same time TEB falls off, if not just a little bit afterwards.  It's negligible.
