Did you say you spent 3hr on learning sketchbook app by watching a tutorial and 10 months to learn UX pages ago? Have you noticed that those time investment can be drastically reduced with optimized learning methods? Maybe use your mental energy on yourself instead of the others doggy.
My time investment could be drastically reduced if I wasnt that much focused on my Palworld playthrough recording. My mind was and still is too much focused on it.
Good thing is that I think Ive finally set my path till the end. Hopefully this long term project will come to an end by the next week.
That said, I do have some problems to learn. There is this trendy thing of ADHD that I think it also affects me. When Im focused, things go down fast. But in a matter of seconds, my mind becomes blocked to the subject being studied, only being unlocked after a nap. Also my vision got pretty worse this last couple of years, so it all sums up why Im learn so slow.
I think you should worry about yourself FIRST.
But real friends cant do that. We need to worry about our buddies FIRST. Grab my pawn Alfania.
You are not alone,
Lets go together to the light.
I believe in yoi, that you can still be saved Called it. |

I find Apollyon so much easier than Temenos for floor climbing. You run from one end of the floor to the other, aggro about the right number of monsters, kill them, go up, repeat.
You try that ***in Temenos and you're going to end up with 20 monsters on you on some floors because there's so much more linking.

It's more because MNKs WS are very powerful especially when they multi hit, not because Maru is mediocre or ok. WAR has literally no good gaxe WS to use with Laphria beside Disaster. Gandring has only Rudra, but Rudra is not that strong unless with Climactic. Gkt has only Fudo if hybrids aren't working and fudo is also significantly weaker. Polearm has nothing. Scythe has only cross reaper etc.
H2h has vsmite during impetus, tornado/dragon during footwork, raging and howling. In super buffed scenario Maru might be the best WS overall because it would consistently push 99k. While something like Tornado would be 70-99k. This could change if there is 50% DT on target for a example in limbus, because tornado can spike way over 100k (even over 200k) then before reduction.
Also playing with Godhands you don't hold tp at all. That's a DPS loss. You can hold TP with Prime. That's usually break even or slight gain for dps.

BST can break every aura in the encounter solo skillchaining w/ only axe.
Mistral Axe > Primal Rend = Gravitation
Primal Rend > Cloudsplitter = Fragmentation
Cloudsplitter > Ruinator = Distortion
Ruinator > Mistral Axe = Fusion
This is also the skillchain I weave into a 20 step skillchain w/ Diamond Aspis outside of Ambu.
Also:
Ruinator > Primal Rend = Darkness
Mistral Axe > Cloudsplitter = Light
This allows BST to be helpful in Mage parties w/ bird or acuex -MDT/DEF debuff and being able to target specific slements needed for mages to burst off of you. BST pets can also burst if you need help landing a debuff or wanna pet nuke.

6boxed MNK in Apollyon. Again Mischief tip to evasion tank them was on point. It finally managed to kill my alt WAR who was in hybrid full Sakpata set, but BLU had no problems at all. Even my COR/DNC survived without issue while share tanking with BLU.

I do have a mental bias that "longer" fights = Verethragna wins, "shorter" fights = Godhands wind, but I don't have any numbers to support this besides my play style, visual experience and comparing my damage to others in live scenarios.
When I've started short fights (like Ambu) with AM3 Verethragna/Smite vs other monks who went full Godhands with all the buffs, I noticed I would always lose the parse, because Impetus takes a long time to catch up, even though I started with AM3 lead. I had to concede that VS really wasn't as strong as Howling and Tornado when the right buffs are up. Even holding TP seemed to favor Godhands way more than spamming or holding TP on Verethragna did, but again this could be my personal bias. I've just seen many situations where Verethragna did not appear as strong even though on paper out should be. Even farming Limbus trash on 130/135, Godhands felt stronger. Just my experience, ymmw
Really what gives Verethragna the advantage is Impetus when you can build up to the high damage potential. The moment you can't do that or its interrupted, I don't feel it's a significant lead over Godhands. Again, all depends on buffs and situations. It's really hard to say which one is better, but I just have a feel for which one I observed was "stronger".

Vere is better for Ngai. STR/Att and AM3.
I personally have never found it to be specifically "better", for Ngai or otherwise. I used to think this, but after experimenting for a long time, "it depends", lol.
With Impetus UP and an AM3 lead during the fight (Ask Sash pre-Boost), Smite and white damage is going to smack pretty good with Verethragna, but the weapon falls off insanely hard the moment Impetus falls, and Godhands shines for those 2 minutes afterwards. In some cases, I don't even bother switching back to Verethragna because, like Simon mentioned, different buffs contribute to a mix of results (Warcry, Tomahawk, (Box Step, Dia) etc) and it just made sense to keep trucking along with whatever I had equipped. Also, none of the Gaol fights to me felt like dps races, so the damage difference between Godhands and Verethragna seemed inconsequential at the end of the day. It was always about survival, and I never once looked at a fight and felt we would have won if I used one weapon vs the other. For Ngai specifically, the moment he turns his hate to you, your DPS is going to fall because you're going to want to swap to a full MDT reduction set. If this occurs during Impetus, you will not see the same level of dps when Ngai is not targeting you, because you will likely trade your empyrean body for something else (Adamantite, Nyame, Malignance). Ditto if it is fetters mode. There's just too many instances to consider and damage isn't the priority at this point in the fight, so I struggle to give Verethragna the edge in a fight where the monster fights back and you can't utilize it's full potential.
With that said, if I had to pick the better weapon for MNK, I would say Godhands. (I don't have a prime h2h, but) Godhands is busted, especially with Warcry and Footwork. I find myself using it more than Verethragna for most things nowadays, but I am team switch-weapons style of MNK. I don't consider "losing TP" to be an issue, because it's not. You get TP in 2-3 attack rounds, and you can switch weapons immediately after a WS so the loss is minimal. It's not as much of a detriment, not sure why people still mention it as if it's a detriment (I still swap weapons on NIN for certain instances too).
Interesting. I also prefer GH as a go to in general but not on Ngai. Always felt it was better to hold TP with AM3 on Ngai. I've only won that fight 3 times but probably fought him 30+. |

are the NMs fixed races based on jobs? all MNKs ive seen have been galka, but obv my sample size isnt very large obv.
wondering if these have varying stats or are simply fixed
Apollyon COR was Taru. |

That is one of the oldest discussions: the ones who learn by doing, and the ones who learn by studying.
I personally am in the sido of learning by studying, because I believe that people need to do things properly. Maybe you can press the buttons faster and learn one thing or another, but I think you just end up using a technique full of vices.
Truth is, the answer for me is that learning is somewhat an iterative process: you study for the base foundations, apply in practice to figure the pitfall, then go back to study to achieve a new level of perception about the topic, then you expand to intermediate level.
About sketchbook, Im still trying to figure about my pen. I bought a new one, but I think I will also buy those cheap Wacoms that have no screen: if i can get used to draw while properly sitted in my chair, then I will have less body issues than drawing in a tablet with screen.
Still, while trying the app, I got annoying about color palletes hiding, digital pen customizations so I need to rewatch the videos to use them in synergy.
It would be annoying figuring those things for myself

Why does the stp for the earring gotta be r25-r30
If it was r1-r5 it would have made a lot of us so happy
The all stats+10 already makes it a pretty solid WS earring depending on your previous choices, so its not all fluff until the STP line |

The earring is basically a Sortie+2 earring for many jobs, even better in a lot of instances. If it takes you "6~months" to get the specific Sortie earring you want, expect full augments to be a similar grind (SE's reasoning, probably). |

I was always curious how the crit rate from the stage 5 worked
Because of my beloved destroyers
Prime weapons also have the hidden dmg boost like relics?
Does it work on both hands?
Someone who has it can correct me but it should be the same as relic and just proc on 1st hit of the 1st fist swing |

For "jobs I don't care enough to make ambu capes for" I'm going to continue to WS in Null Shawl. I'm not earning spending millions of points to R30 some crappy cape.
Correct answer
Grind limbus for Xmonths for that, nah
The unaugmented cape will still be better than just using Null though. |

Specific data needs sources, or might as well have made it up. I'll always trust data over people, as long as its source can be verified and confirmed independently.

Vere is better for Ngai. STR/Att and AM3.
Some run the sim on Prime s4/5 vs Vere/GH for science.
I did many times. It really depends on the buffs. Aria or not, highly over capped attack or just slightly, footwork/impetus, warcry from WAR, DT on the mob etc. |
