Yeah guys. Let's punch from behind when we use counterstance because it already doesn't do anything worthwhile when we don't have hate. What are you smoking? You don't counterstance and then move to the front of the mob, this isn't overwhelm. If you don't have hate, you're not gaining anything from it and you can't go "punch from behind". It's already been standard practice for over a decade to generally spread out to avoid conal so I don't really get what you think you're saying.
I think you forgot the moving part where the mob turns and faces you if you have the most enmity. But as a MNK doing 2 DPS I can't blame you. (is joke)
Well, my point is, with a group of DDs, hopefully the MNK is trading hate with at least one of them. In this case, it could be useful, but potentially dangerous. I wouldn't advocate for the use of Counterstance here.
If no other DDs, but there is a tank, the MNK should stay somewhere safe. Probably behind the mob, but not always. The MNK will do more DPS if it isn't getting needlessly wrecked by debuffs. I wouldn't advocate for the use of Counterstance here.
If no other DDs and no tank, whatever is being done falls apart if the MNK dies. I wouldn't advocate for the use of Counterstance here.
Now, I have absolutely no reason to doubt that it worked well for Kyte. But we also don't know the party set-up used or the Difficulty chosen. If the MNK can be kept alive and active (no Terror, for example), it is a DPS increase. It is just more risky than any other JA in the whole game... And for what?
