White damage is similar to my dual wield WAR.

Decimation was doing 18-21k normally

I’m not sure what weapons you were using but H2H Damage works out to around 200~250 DMG with capped Skill depending on what weapon you’re using. Your individual hits should be a great deal stronger than anything you can dual wield because your fists are like Dual-Wielding Polearms or Great-Katakanas.

People like Simon's head will explode if you start posting numbers out of excitement without context and clear testing.

So, playing around with MNK...

Using basically a thrown toegether set made of adhemar, with sparks weapon. So not a really great comparasion. But serves to give a baseline. I was farming pulse weapons, so having the behemoth as a target. Not attack capped, not super buffed, only trusts and a friendly geo that kept meva bubbles.

White damage is similar to my dual wield WAR. And my DW war has a fairly good DW set. So far, expected - that was always MNKs strong point. Less damage/hit, but more hits normally. AND I have to consider that I was using a sparks weapon, so trash....

WS wise... its weird. As a point of comparasion, Decimation was doing 18-21k normally. Peaks don't really count as that thing can spike hard (up to 46k once).

Asuran Fists feels really meh. Was doing somewhere between 4 and 8k. Probably closer to 7-8.

Victory smite I played only a bit. But seemed like 8-12k. Considering my poor set and weapon, I believe it wouldnt be impossible to get it to consistent 14k.

Raging Fists is meh at 1k tp. But once you get close to 2k, it overtakes VS and AF. Close to 2k tp, I was consistently doing 12-14k, with a few spikes. Again, considering the bad gear it is not shabby at all. If you have Godhands then it is likely to overtake VS from the get go because of the TP scaling. And it gets better the higher your tp, so all win.

Howling fist... Now, that thing is fun. Yeah, not consistent AT ALL, but since I was not capping atk, its atk bonus really showed. At around 2kTP it was doing almost 18k damage, with wild spikes. At 3kTP, damage climbed a bit to around 28ish, but again, wild spikes. Triple attack with transfer fTP and a decent chunk of fTP to begin with will make it easily get to 50ish.
However, I do not think my HF can get that much better. I mean, yeah, there is a lot of gear for it that I am missing, but the biggest issue holding my WSes seemed to be the lack of atk, and HF has a big bonus there, so it is actually much closer to the cap than anything else. Might be a decent WS to swap in some malignant gear, IF I HAD ANY
tl;dr

MNK is fun, and is back to being interesting again. Having different WS options for different TP levels also feel fairly interesting.

My MNk had not seen the light of day since before adoulin.... this is... refreshing, actually.

Better to do T3s as THF for obvious reason.

Pretty sure TH doesnt affect pulse drops. We didnt have a thf and 2 pulse weapons dropped off one NM. #offtopic

Went to test Shijin's Spiral plague effect earlier in brenner. I still see 50tp/tic. I guess by potency of Shijin Spiral they probably meant more dmg dealt by it than higher plague effect lol.

Not to say the testing is wrong but typically brenner/pvp in general is spotty, if you can land it on one of the limules or whatever that transfer debuffs thad probably give a more accurate account of what the plague is

it should, looking over the wiki, can give it a go, limules were just what i always saw as the suggested way to see just what debuff potencies were
