I'm sure it's not that surprising to hear, but we've been doing MNK DRG(Stage 4 Polearm) instead of MNK SAM for our 9 boss runs recently and DRG is certainly a competitive option over SAM. Tonight we had a 2:43 Aminon kill and about 6:30 free time after bosses/roaming NMs.

I always felt DRG was a great job in 9B. Jumps don't feed TP, Angon can be fulltime, Fly High/RD Resets/Spirit Link/Wild Card/TP items etc are all in quick succession. With Hoxne Ampulla, every jump will give you necessary TP for WS. I could see that being very fun, probably better than DNC as far as DPS goes. Pairing it with MNK is even smarter. Nice work, Sterk, that sounds like a lot of fun for a 9b comp.

Sub 3min kill is kind of insane speed. Did you Hundred Fists during Chainspell or something? Lol

Nah, I don't HF at any point during the run. And I'm assuming you meant Chainspell Absorb? Our RDM is /WHM so we don't have that option either. Funny enough this was actually a slightly unlucky fight since my RD didn't reset Footwork so I was without Footwork for a little until our DRG requested the RD.

I actually started approaching MNK DPS on Aminon a little differently than before which seems to be increasing kill speed a bit. I used to wait until 2 auto attacks (~1800 TP) and alternate Raging/Howling/Dragon/Tornado, but now I'm trying to WS after only 1 auto attack (~1100 TP) and remove Raging from the rotation since Raging is kind of locked to ~60k damage if I go at 1k TP. I'm still commonly hitting 99k damage WSs at 1k TP so I don't believe waiting for 1800 TP is worth the auto attack time if there's a pretty decent chance it won't even be increasing my WS DMG by even a single point. There's even a side benefit to WSing more frequently being you're spending more time in WS delay and thus feeding less TP.

Here's last night's log of WSs firing at 1k TP (the couple RFs were done at 1800 if I was slacking and let more than 1 auto attack go off). Keep in mind I'm /RUN, so the average would be even higher for a MNK/DRG.

Spoiler Alert! Click to view.
