Fairy.Spence said: I think you're way low on accuracy
Sorry I can't contribute much else :P I'm outdated! Why are mnks these days so obsessed with acc?? What happened to str mnks from back in the day? I still go str>acc andI have no problem hitting my targets and out DDing everyone except a rng on birds.
That's just me though.

Likely exaggerated claims aside, I was never a mathfag, it is just my mentality while playing to make sure I hit before I tried to add damage to that hit.

But, if you insist, he could also get the Lava/Kusha ring set to replace the Rajas/Blood Ring pairing as it's more accuracy. Obviously keep Rajas on if you're using Footwork.
I've been camping these two fools pretty hardcore recently, got one and just working on the other ***dorp. would these be a sin to use over rajas/xxx ring with focus down? with focus up? i do not have a black belt so using aurore gloves is a must so i cannot add any acc there, turban is a must, i just got d body, i have no ACC mantle although i may work on the one from abyssea, i have no faith torque although it's not too far from reach (just LS points >.< even if i do it with 3-6), i do not have cash for a toreader or sniper+1.
i've heard through the grapevine rajas doesn't contribute too much to mnk as 12acc/6att would, but on the other hand i've also heard the reverse.
lol I told you rajas...

93% on what? If you're using Greater Colibri as your benchmark then there's a problem. If you aren't at 95% on Lolibri with pizza at 80 I dunno what to tell you.
How would Usu be more wrong than the attack hands you just said wouldn't have an impact? If he's not capped (which you just said he isn't on your mystery mob) they'll do more than the .29% Haste he'll get off using Aurore hands. That's a 1.12 delay reduction. Hell, you're so set on using pizza, swap the turban to an Acubens Helm and you're capped on Haste without wasting your hand slot.
I don't even know how to respond to TPing in fishing gear.
93% on whatever ffxicalc uses as a benchmark mob, I assume Lizards or something. So dropping attack hands for 10acc gloves which would only be over shooting accuracy cap would be a weaker option honestly.

If you're having accuracy issues, get yourself a lucky coin from Yilbegan.
8 accuracy on an ammo slot.

MNK accuracy isn't bad, plus what you miss can be made up with food. Not saying I completely neglect acc, but my mind goes str first, acc if I have problems that food can't handle.
But all in all it doesn't matter with Usukane. It doesn't give as much str as I'd like but the haste makes up for it.

monk accuracy is pretty bad, even with full h2h merits
also depends on what food you are eating
if h2h would be considered two hander than that would be a different story.

depends on your gear, merits and what you are fighting
full usu monk, with toradoes and cuch mantle, plus hand to hand merits should be able to get away with eating meat dishes
brocklee might have full focus merits or something<.<

No I do not have fully merit focus >.>
Look, I'm not saying I completely neglect acc. I just don't go crazy about it as much as others. Maybe I go 1/4 (higher pending mob) on acc and the rest I catch up on food. but as a priority I go for str when a lot of gear gives a crazy +acc.
The reason I go str > acc is because a lot of gear gives a significant amount of acc over str. For example ohat, shura togi, (usukane in general) among others, including Tapian claws with the dex/acc and Hades Sainti (which more people then usual are putting over Destroyers now a days).

Hades are for tanking/eva onry?
But when it comes to food, pizza > all for most DD's. So depending on how much acc you sacrifice may or may not really matter.

Last I heard STR Taipans >>> DEX Taipans... hard to make good trades on that acc during Focus given all the other swaps you'd make anyway. Better to put the acc in slots where you can swap it out if you don't need it first.

Oh I know that, but I still see some mnk using Hades for DD (which I still can't figure out). but with the way SE is going, it won't matter because all mnks will focus on the footwork build, even now it's rewarding, so I'm not going to be surprised if more +kick attack/acc gear is introduced. Both erasing my view on mnk and changing my equipment priority in bundle of updates.
Out of curiosity I tested out the kick attack build and it was rewarding, but I prefer to punch > footwork for now. That will likely change in the near future though.

I'm anticipating Black Belt Magian trials. There's your acc boost right there. No doubt it'd be a ridiculous amount if indeed that's the aim it goes for. I can only dream, but hopefully my dream comes true :D

or SE will come out with a new belt and name is pink belt?

if they make a new belt I'll probably get a little upset. It took me long enough to get Black Belt. I'm willing to bet they either introduce a +1, make it augmented or make it apart of a quest for something like a Black Belt Tier II or something. I don't think they'll just ignore it.
Maybe they'll toss a kick attacks augment on it
By darkmaffxi 2010-08-27 22:43:12
they did come out with shaolin belt, which Enhances "Martial Arts" effect
so most likely they will come out with some sort of a new belt. might have subtle blow + martial arts + haste or something else

Shaolin Belt seems more aimed towards pups then mnk. I don't see a mnk going shaolin belt > black belt
With the addition of abyssea and new gear MNK has received several nice items. After looking at some gear I thought it would be good to replace the turban + melee gloves that I have for new armor:
With Changing:
W-turban -> Usu.somen
Melee Gloves -> Aurore gloves
I would loose the
-16 att
-3%hp
-30hp
-4 s.b.
I would gain:
+7 STR
+7 AGI
+7 acc
+7 eva
Is it worth it? Talking uncapped acc situation here (hnm / NM's / abyssea).
