IiPunch - Monk Guide

hmm, alright. i may fiddle around with it later (still using otronif gloves +1 with crit, hesychast +1+kick attack feet for AM3 up) i don't think i'll use taeon legs with AM3 down until i've got the feet as well

Thanks for info noxzema! Been waiting to hear on the best for 3rd augment so far got 2TA on all 5 and at least 15/15 on all 5 with acc/att.

i've got up to 5/5-6/6 str/dex on all taeon pieces now (barring feet, which are wsdmg+2% atm) so i guess i'll be making the switch over. also i saw someone with str+9 taeon tights today, so 10/10 definitely does exist.

Which stones did you use nq/+1/+2. For the 5/5+

A mix of +1 and +2. It's possible to get it with NQ, it's just kind of rare. The STR+9 was done with a +1 dusk...slit? I think.

to those curious, here's what the new sets look like (assuming 2 ta, 20+ acc, some str/dex+ on all taeon pieces (my feet have crit dmg))

Ascetic's Fury

low acc
ItemSet 322346

mid acc
ItemSet 322347

Thank you

Also how do you get the set picture to show up?

Taeon can get more than 20 acc (i saw a ss with acc23, possible up to 25, but not sure if you can pair att/acc for more than 20) plus dex, so taeon beats also the incursion body and qaaxo feet in max acc.

qaaxo feet in max acc was an accident. my taeon tabard has 23 acc and still has less acc than mekosu even with dex+ cause of meko's native dex+33

edit: nevermind i'm high. rip mekosu harness too

This is the best I have achieved so far.

I was informed that crit rate +3 was possible in place of TA+2 would the crit rate+3 on all 5 pieces pull ahead of TA for WS if were to make a second set?

Not near a pc right now but I assume it's better for vs but not ascetics fury

So I updated my spreadsheet again, changed to 3% crit dmg from 2.
What I said before still holds true, except it is saying 4/5 str/dex and 1 crit dmg for tp is best.(at least with Impetus and Focus up). However, WS sets don't agree, and IMO its not worth it to try making another perfect piece just for 3 dps.

I tried the 20/20, crit rate+dmg +3%, and it's still under the str/dex set. I'll try str/dex, crit rate+3%, 20/20 next and update when I find out.

Edit: It seems that if you can get 10/10 STR/DEX, 20/20 ATK/ACC, and 3% crit rate, It's best for VS. But I'm still seeing my AF set winning 1303 to 1300 dps with Impetus and focus, but VS wins 1217 to 1192 with Berserk and Aggressor. And without any of the 4, it's about same 1102.5(VS) vs 1103(AF) dps.

Also, does anyone know how I'd add the new Martial Arts gift into the spreadsheet?

Can just put the value in the custom set bonus cell if there is a column for Martial Arts. Can't check spreadsheet at the moment. If there isn't a column for Martial Arts you could just put the value on the weapon in the gear sets tab. I'm sure there's an actual Martial Arts job trait cell you could put it in somewhere, but again, no spreadsheet access right now.

TA comes from the leafslit correct? I am only getting DA/Crit rate +2, which is okay but I would rather sport TA!

Edit: Derp, ya it has to be leaf since dusk is stats or crit dmg and snow is acc/att.

That's strange. I got TA+2 on my Taeon stuff and never saw any DA or Crit hit rate.

Are you sure you're not using leaftip? IIRC, leaftip was the only thing giving me crit rate, where leafslit gave me TA, DW, counter.

Hmmm maybe your right. I'll look at it again, maybe I wrote which stone I had used on that piece wrong.

Best i have heard is 7/7 for dual stats which makes me think that should be the cap scaled down from the cap of single stats. Like top single acc i have seen is 25 same goes for att but when combined cap is 20/2

Think max is +30DMG.

It would have to be I would think to match the horrid delay on those.

So I was bored and looking through all my merits, and came across MNK and wanted to see other opinions.
ATM I'm using the normal KA/counter 5/5, but when I checked the spreadsheets KA 5/5 only adds 7 DPS, and only 10 dps with Soku/Hesychast.
And Focus adds 40-50 dps depending on other buffs.

I was thinking of switching KA's for Focus recast (I'd prob only recommend this for Glanz users) but I figured someone might be able to do the math to see if a constant 7 dps or a 45 dps for 120/250 (duration/recast) is better.

Then again it might not be worth it because eventually it won't line up with Impetus.

BTW I figured out how to add gifts to the buffs, and the Martial Arts gift will add around an extra 13 dps, acc/atk not so much with the generic buffs that I have set, they only give around 4 dps total.

I think your dps will be much better without doing that if you take into account human flaw. as soon as focus wears off i know its time to use aggresor and as soon as aggresor wears off i know its time for focus. after so many years of probably doing the same, its gonna be a hard habit to break. plus the New empyerian armor will probably have an enhanced set bonus for x2 kicks when you kick.

I got access to the MNK nodes from Jinjo and took the liberty to update a lot of stuff. It's still under construction since I'm pretty busy irl at the moment, but it has enough covered to at least put MNKs in the right direction.

If anyone is able to make item sets for stuff that hasn't been updated (every item set has a date beside it) and link it to me so I can update the OP with it, that'd be sweet. If no one gets around to it, I'll do it myself next weekend.

I lied, gear sets section is completely finished. I added pre-alluvion sets, pre-119 sets, and new to ffxi sets. pdt/mdt/hybrid etc are completed as well. I'll finish the technical stuff/progression sections at another time.

Enjoy!

Ramzus, nice looking changes on the sets so far, a few suggestions; First the Ziel Charm in several sets should likely be replaced with Iqabi Necklace, one more accuracy and from delve so many players likely have access to it. Also wouldn't using the new Fotia Gorget & Fotia Belt be a better choice for the guide vs the older single gorgets/belts? All the stats and the addition of perhaps a freebie WS every so often.

thanks, i thought i put iqabi for 119 sets but i made those sets at 2am and accidentally put ziel. i made notes about fotia for the WS sets but haven't put them in since the only difference is the consume tp

The Taeon equipment can be augmented with crit+3 str and dex+7 and acc20 attack20 as an assumed cap, can anyone check the spreadsheet for VS?
