I'm no MNK, but I was just discussing this (well, similar) with a MNK friend and I'm curious. How does 5/5 Aurore match up against a Mix/Match set outside Salvage gear?
Like I said, I'm no MNK; so these sets may be a little off, but they're pretty close to how I'd be aiming to gear as a MNK.

I've been told MNK shouldn't really use 5/5 Aurore, but aside from the -42 attack, I can't really see why. Surely knocking off 4.5 seconds per WS would be better than hitting a little harder each swing, right?
