Mnk CAN put up good numbers don't mean they do. Only 5ish mnk on fairy i'd consider inviting to a pt. The rest, I could beat on my pup NOW as it is before the update.

and what are you talking about 8% haste? pup can get 21 (23 w/ nsash), which puts mnk 4(2)% ahead.

Oh yeah, I forgot about all the mnks running around with nsash since everyone is killing AV these days >.> The overwhelming majority of pups will be rocking swift belt until SE decides to let us kill AV again. So yes, mnk has access to a belt with 8% more haste.

did you even read what I said? I was talking about total haste, not 1 slot. Zomg who cares how much you can get in 1 slot, it's total that matters most. 21 (w/o nsash) vs 25, 4% difference.

About pups beating MNK's...Your pup Vegetto yeah i can see that easily...but the majority of pups arent running around in full Usukane. Then again neither are most MNK's. Either way 300 base delay on a MNK vs. 360 base delay on a pup plays a large factor in DoT.

Capped dex (117) for pummel on birds and 1.5k armor piercer will easily make the difference imo

Yeah, not sure where the velocious belt comment came in but even rocking max haste setup pup hits 21% at most (i'm not even gonna count nsash until AV is beatable). Please re-read my first post. What I said is that mnks can wear black belt, which gives them access to 8% haste that pups will never see. Pups won't see that 8% b/c they'll never be able to rock black belt. They can achieve haste in other gear slots, but not without losing the benefits of wearing full usu. I really think this argument is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

You're HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE if you think 1 individual slot matters. I may as well say pup has 7 haste mnk will never if that's the case. Because they can't wear goliard saio or pantin hands.

MNK hasnt lost anything PUP just gained the ability to do the same damage slower than MNK. A reasonable PUP would have up to 14% haste (Swift, ASA, Wally, Goliard) no Usukane aren't actually reasonable (in before Vegetto points it out) neither is NSash so thsts 4 haste. Am I missing anything?
Also Watanable is right, you'd be surprised how many PUPs suck however there is a PWN pup with Kenkonken on my server!

I agree with you on that vegetto. Hell, my mnk sucks b/c i'm just not willing to do what it takes to pimp it out. Aside from having black belt, my mnk is lol. Need usu.

So up to 16% haste, however most MNKs are actually decent and can figure out not to TP in Scorp Harness. PUP is complicated and requires knowing how to activate every maneuver and weapon skill which takes time and effort to learn, most will find it a wasted effort because regardless of h2h skill it's still lolPUP.

You could probably say most people suck at any ??? job because most people dont learn the mechanics of the game and how to use gear swaps properly. So really what are we arguing about {I don't know.}

And again, most mnks are lol. There's only 5 I'd pt w/ on my server otherwise i'd take a 2hander over a mnk EVERY TIME.

As for pup, maybe I'd take 1 or 2 and me.

The amount of MNKs that know what they are doin is far greater than the amount of PUPs do, this is a PUP vs MNK argument don't bring 2-handers into the mix because that's way too many variables.

k we'll take your best mnk vs my pup then

Hmm. Either Akitafuki but GL to get her out of BD she's in iiZerg or Almalexia. So really Spharai or Glanzfaust. There's some elvaan with glanzfaust and full Usukane too but he doesn't even have Black belt... forget his name.
Edit: But there's no question PUP is better for survivability, PVP wouldn't solve any debates.

Sylph.Sindri said: So really Spharai or Glanzfaust. Having Spharai or glanzfaust doesnt make you the best MNK. Knowing your gear and what to use/when to use it does. Granted if you have either i hope to god you have learned what you are doing. But considering said person could have bought the gil needed to get either of those you really never know if they are good or not.

So Amalexia. anyways, Faiths are good for zerging but ***'s situational, you dont wanna be hitting Dark Ixion 8 times in an attack round, that thing will kick your *** quite literally (Only example I can think of in the FFXI withdrawls).

Need lots of stones!
as a main MNK, i wasn't too pleased with the announcements made at vanafest 2010. as many MNKs may know MNK doesn't get much when it comes to updates. a decent peace of gear here or there and lolfootworks is about as updated as it has gotten. in vanafest 2010 all jobs was noted to be getting rather decent or just outstanding updates. like PUP getting an A in H2H.. made me cry as a MNK knowing only martial arts and gear is the only thing that stands between PUP out damaging MNK with there fists. not to mention they have a beefy auto next to them spamming them with cure 5s and hitting with 1.5k weapons kills them self.
on top of that they insult MNK by giving them this for the update.
in return of TP gain and the ability to weapon skill.
ACC +, and subtle blows+... WTF! how useless is that, EXP pt wise. completely. most MNKs have NO problem with there accuracy. and subtle blows is just crap unless your soloing something you just don't want weapon skilling as often. and subtle blows barely even shows with no matter how much you have. so sucks there. endgame. the acc+ would be killer i can see. but still nobody is going to put a MNK in endgame PT to feed the mobs TP regardless of how much subtle blows they have. MNK is just unfortunately left out of endgame unless your lucky enough to get in a chi-blast group
sadly this slap to the face is rely disgusted me with SEs thoughts on MNK and makes me want to drop it entirely and just level SAM. at least most of my gear wont go to waste...
what is everyone elses thoughts on this?
