IiPunch - Monk Guide

Any action that is performed will "reset" Hundred Fists, causing one attack round to occur with normal delay calculations before it is resumed.

Nice job, Jinjo. Pretty solid all around.

Typo: Under Section VII, Resources, it's "Motenten", not "Motentent".



Will second the suggestion of adding an idle/regen gear set under Misc. It's fairly simple:

Ocelomeh Headpiece +1 (NQ is 1/tick, HQ is 2/tick)
Wiglen Gorget (3/tick)
Melee Cyclas +2 (NQ/+1 is 1/tick, +2 is 2/tick)
Sheltered Ring (1/tick) (doubles as a boost for Shell, since you're likely to get that while idle)
Paguroidea Ring (2/tick)
Garden Bangles (1/tick, daytime only)
Lycopodium Sash (3/tick, daytime only)

Feet: Hermes'/Herald's

Can give 10-14 HP/tick (14 during the day), which can add up to a fair bit in the little periods between mobs. If it takes you 2 minutes to run from point A to point B, you can go from yellow to full HP before even adding in Chakra or Invigorate.



And, while it's already findable under the BG thread, I'll go ahead and note my own spellcast is available if you wanted to list it. Only suggested for advanced usage. Requires a few extra links:

Mnk spellcast
Rules include
Configuration include
Salvage include (optional)
Instructions and notes (aside from comments within the xmls themselves)

hurray for epic new multi use feet? Chakra, Chi blast and pdt all in one.

Do you think that the new Thurandaut gloves (DEF:29 DEX+14 AGI+14 Acc+10 Haste+3%) beat Mustela Gloves for Shijin now?

Lol at new h2h weapon beating Spharai/Veret to the ground also making MNK top tier DD by quite a significant margin?

Sorry for the name typo. I'll add the Regen set in a bit. Reworked a bunch of stuff today, just have to edit the posts!

Also,

Just one problem with this guide I noticed after reading the gear sets. If you tried to have the perfecr armor for every situlation like that you would have absolutely no space for anything. Instead of focusing on the just the best opinion for only one senerio, It would be nice to see a gear set which is more well-rounded. I play the game for fun and it's not fun luging around 5+ sets of armor changes for the same damn job. To be perfectly honest I doubt anyone even has every piece in all of the high end sets you have listed and those who are going to post after this that they do. You're lying or have no life and neither of those options will help any inspiring MNKs.

Michiziane, even if you dont have all the top gear, i still agree that to be able to do stuff properly you at least need couple of gear set, including at least tp set, ws set, pdt set and some option for more acc. thats bare minimum. Doesnt need to be all top tier if you are just beginning to build sets. but that should be your goal and this guide is made to help you reach that goal.

What you are saying is playing like those sch that just play full time in enhancing sets. i cant stand it! its not that hard to build a minimum healing set and nuke set..

and yep, good guide. thanks again!

This isn't 2007 anymore, some players actually have everything possible. The amount of effort needed to have everything is also much lower nowadays than it was years ago.

You have a point in that the gear sets shown aren't "low enough" but you also have to consider that you cannot possibly try to play a job without puting a minimum amount of work into it. This is what makes FFXI fun, the fact that you cannot monoset a job, you have to think about more than one situation and obtain all the gear needed for it. This game is a long journey unlike other MMOs.

You didn't grasp the point of this game so you shouldn't bash this guide or the idea behind it but rather, try to understand it. If you don't find it fun, then FFXI just isn't for you. Try TERA or WoW, you only need one set of gear there and you just have to read your gear level in order to know if it's good, or not. Easy.

hehe those sets are made for the people who strives for the 0.1% damage increase and while that might not be for everyone who play casually, this guide points direction to make it happens. If you dont like it its all on you. you dont have to criticise others for trying to get as much damage possible on every situation possible. and yes, sometime you just need a little bit more accuracy(ionno, some evasion mobs) and sometime you need that huge boost(legion, even if mnk is meh in legion).

Again, everyone plays like they want, but you dont have to criticise a guide that try to show people how to reach the higher level. Everyone can just build that whatever sets not optimum for anything or really optimum for 1 or 2 things and so-so for the rest.

and like i said, anyone can make a well rounded set. just go for the tp sets and ws of the Guide. you'll do well enough on anything, its well rounded. if you want to increase damage on things that has more evasion or whatever, swap some equip apropriatly. there is no set perfect for everything. no matter how hard you try to make it happen.

How does me giving a opinion and a sugestion equal "bashing"? I never said anything about the gear being too high lv or exspanive nor did I use the words "low enough" >.> I don't care if the gear is "hard to get" I'm working on relic at this moment and thatss expensive high lvl and a pain in the *** w/ farming. I don't see the point in carry around 5 sets of 12 pieces of armor for 1 job. having boost, chakra, ws gear etc is fine but why get the best of the best if the change in ur preformance isn't great enough to really matter in the end.
