idk man, the results dont lie and the results are showing DK rotation is very much viable in any fight, downtime or not. and its not even a huge dps loss.

theres no complexity in anything DK rotation does, simple as that.

you are talking about min maxing, im talking about doing good enough to be considered "a good monk" two very different things.

DK is a rotation that does less damage than the typical monk rotation, it has no place being discussed in a min max situation because you arent min maxing by doing a worse rotation.

the DK is a rotation showcasing the balance teams oversight into potencies and boosting DK higher than it should have been, thus allowing the spamming of DK to put monks into a "good monk" category because the dps..in ANY situation, is simply not weak enough compared to the normal monk rotation.

no one should be using DK rotation, no one should be thinking DK rotation iis better. but DK rotation absolutely has enough dps to clear every content currently in the game and NOT have your dps getting carried by other, better dps.
