New to the Monk forums, please be gentle.

My Monk is mainly used for duo, but I figured why half *** something if I'm going to use it often? So my question is, how does my WS setup look? Working on improving my gear and I'll list what I think is a smarter gear choice.

This is only for ascetics fury, inside abyssea of course.

Upgrades:
Feet: +2 them
Back: Atheling?
Body: Tantra+2? Loki's?
Hands: Heofic mittens? +13str?
Head: Augmented with attack +2.. I know it's nothing special But I can't think of much other to use? Genbus? I may be wrong in thinking my Light belt/Light Torque is helpful, please correct me if so.

Thank you,
Death

Ok first, lose the cesti, get taurine off indrik. Large improvement there.

Think u shud be fine with light gorget/belt

Head, lose it. So many better options. Genbu's, anwig salade, etc.

Cape, pretty sure atheling mantle will beat cerb+1...not 100% there

Af3 body > osode.

Thank you! Actually have been killing Indrik religiously, 0/5!

Head: Anwig/Aias Thank you!
Ear1: Str over Brutal? Would that mean a second Pyrosoul over Eponas?
Back: Figured, had Cerb +1 for pld and nin way back when, just never bothered upgrading until now.

Bier belt+1 would be ideal? or Warwolf because of vit/str?

Get Taipan +2, or better yet Taurine Cesti (Taipan might be better pending future trials though).

Head, Genbu's/Anwig/Aias work

Thew/Tantra ammo work, pending enemy defense

Heafoc Mitts

Shura legs > Usu > Hachiryu

Atheling for back

Osode works till AF3+2

Forgot warwolf with the joint str/vit mods.

Think brutal still beats any other ear option atm tbh. Same with eponas but dont quote me there.

Obligatory MNK TP set:


But ya, assuming you use GH/RR/Apoc atmas this STR set is the best I could think of for my MNK:



The legs you have are decent, but once Usukane+1 comes around that will push it even further to being the best in slot, Aias Bonnet is a possible improvement as well.

Assuming dDEX is capped (in abys it will be) Rajas falls behind vulcans and pyrosoul rings~

No, keep brutal and Epona's on.

FTP is low for A/Fury, so gorget/belt work. An alternative being anguinus for high defense targets

Sorry I edited that, I was referring to ear2 but it was kemas, thought was something else.

True, but it's given back from the Store TP and 1 less inventory lol.

Lol, invent space shouldnt *shouldnt* be an issue as a MNK, but thats preference. STP...meh, would be worth it if it drops a hit/hit round off ur next WS, otherwise nah.

You have math to show belt > str/vit options?

It would all depend on the mob itself. Low def = str/vit belt, high def = gorget/belt.

Not entirely sure but wouldnt genbu's beat aias? 15 points of stat boost vs 8 points, some (usually irrelevant) dDEX and the resultant attack?

I would think so yeah, But Aias is pretty nice for an Asurans setup as well I would think. Might as well grab it, and see if ls needs the win to help them out too.

True. And i would prefer aias for those non-abyssean times.

fSTR likely to be capped inside Abyssea, Genbu's Kabuto would be better than Aias bonnet.

Pretty sure Black Belt/Beir/Beir +1 are also all better than an elemental belt.

Yeah,

50% + 50% STR/VIT

Ball parked STR at 150+130, doesn't matter really
155 With Warwolf, 135

150*.50+130*.50*.85 = 119
Guesstimated D at 84 after fSTR so

203*2.10ftp*3.0pdif = 1278

155*.50+135*.50*.85 = 122
84+122 = 206
206*2.0*3.0 = 1236

That's just w/ belt, though I'd imagine gorget will follow similarly

Not for Afury

And yeah Genbu's will beat Aias, even if you're getting 2fSTR, since you'll get around 2WSC from Kabuto.

Warwolf 5str/5vit will win out over beir+1/black assuming fSTR is capped. If fSTR isnt capped, dDEX shouldnt be either so the 5dex on warwolf will still bring it ahead.
