Once again if the monk merited into focus after kick attack, tier I of merits being 10 points, that takes Focus recast down to 4:10 so you have it on just under half the time on top of still having full merits in kick attacks. So you only have a period of 2:10 seconds where you are with out your focus. Sounds like an unmerited berserk right except the cool down on zerk is 10 seconds less and replace attack with accuracy not to forget you should have plenty of acc gear to go along with your haste gear from things like dbody. Yes being at haste cap in gear would be nice for monk I agree, but at what cost to your accuracy? You were the one saying you wanted to use meat right? I was taking the typical monk throwing throw in focus merits you have focus on roughly 48% of the time if I did my math right.
First of, you get your focus bonus in usukane to, only difference is in a meat situation for a usukane mnk, focus will cap your accuracy instead of bringing it up to tolerable. And plenty of acc things? You have JUST D.body in comparing usukane vs w.turban/d.body/byakkos haidate/b.kote/fuma kyahan. Side gear is moot since you can wear them with full usukane aswell. Your blind if you cant see that usukane is superior for a mnk.
So with that evasion comment your saying if a thief stacks evasion they can be an effective evasion tank? Then why aren't ninjas still stacking evasion for tanking all the time seeing as though ninjas have better evasion than ninjas? That's right because evasion is fucking useless! Jesus you fail so hardly I guess I shouldn't expect any better.
Lern2read, i said evasion didnt really give me points as it doesnt really matter, but a sam or mnk WILL evade more with said evasion. People didnt stop with evasion builds cause they didnt work at all, they just found stacking haste and enmity gave better results. Evasion isnt useless when it comes free with superior stats you fuckin moron.
You are right that usukane is the best for the feet slot, but Samurai isn't about DPS it's about getting to 100tp the fastest way possible.
Yea cause storetp+5 acc+7 and haste+2% totally wouldnt help you get 100% tp faster...
I also didn't realize that you attacked with boots to give damage all the time, and those cesti and great katanas were just for decoration.
Idk what makes you say that, show me where i said feet equipment was the only thing that matters.
You also fail to realize that enmity +5 is going to draw more attention towards you say than anyone else because the more you hit you're getting an enmity jump from just attacking.
Nobody cares. Merit or end game fight. Or atleast not in my shell, our tanks are quite capable of handling themselves. If you need to worry thats to bad for you. I cant help if you suck, although it isnt surprising.
Your boots don't give DPS they give stats to up your dps of your weapon by increasing x stat. You also expect most players to go ZMG! 2 more attack I'm going to camp something that takes a lot of time when they can go either do a BCNM or camp something that gives 2 less attack.
I expect anyone who wants to call themselves top tier, to get the absolut best gear available. You really seem to be confused about what the words imply. Im not really surprised tho. I suppose none of your shells even got out of sky.
The equip swaps were implied because I kind of did mention that SAM WS are 75% str mods, and putting str gear in. If you really want to know a monk should be stacking attack and accuracy for weapon skills seeing as though Asuran Fist mods are absolute ass. If you do stack strength for AF you're a terribly retarded monk.
I dont stack it, but dont pay any mind to primary modifiers, its ok. You really are clueless arent you?
The fastest way right now is a 6 hit build. The usukane feet still allows the six hit build, but I'm not looking at hardcore players that think every member of their linkshell is zmg leet and a relic weapon is instant ownage (a relic weapon is ownage, but some weapons can compare to them considering how rare the weapons are also considering a 100TP Hagun WS hits like it's at 200TP). I'm looking at casual players it was jyakuntsu who brought up Eormanric and Gregedor in the mix. I threw in Takumifujiwara AND Roadkill seeing as though Takumifujiwara was geared very similarly to Gregedor. Roadkill is up there with Taku and Greg SAM wise I don't know about his MNK anymore last I saw him his mnk was no where near Eormanric's.
If you arent looking at hardcore players, you wont find anything toptier, you will find decent.
Period. Like i said, stop using the word top-tier, your making the word loose all meaning.
And near eormanric? I assume you mean something like;
Destroyers
walahra turban/shura kabuto
shura togi
cerbmantle(+1)
faith torque
bandomusha kote
black belt
brutal earring
sniper+1
byakkos haidate/shura haidate
tiphia sting/smartbomb
pixie earring/mermans earing/ minuet earring
woodsman ring
fuma kyahan
Sorry to say (for me to, this is my gear), this is average good. I could probably list 50 players with this lvl of gear if you gave me time to remember them. Its in no way top-tier.
You listed all of Usukane's stats like it's the be all end all. You gave the average MNK gear sitting at 13% throw in black belt they're both at 25% haste in the original set you get it in LESS gear as a monk than usukane you just totally destroyed your argument yourself because if you macro in your temple crown, can be +1, you can have 7, I'm guess TC+1 brings the enhanced focus up by 5 points making it 15 not 10, less accuracy for more attack.
jesus are you fuckin blind? Yes they are both at 25% haste cap BUT the usukane monk gives up 12 atk and 2 dex and GAINS 16 str, 26 acc, 29 evasion, 13 store tp, 5 subtle blow and 2 counter. It does take a genious to see wich set is gonna win. Although its obvious a retard cant. And seriously what makes you think an usukane mnk cant use the focus enhancement?
This is where merits come into play. Figure a lot of SAMs, NIN, and MNK are fully merited in their respected weapons. I highly doubt a ninja would wear the usukane body if they say had AF+1 body along with a suppi for DW+ along with the listed haste gear that you listed for monk. You can have that 20 more attack with the typical monk gear. Merited h-2-h, torque, pcc, and etc are excluded because they negate out numbers as acc+10 from PCC would still leave a 2-7 acc difference. Of course this all changes if you merit focus and use usukane you have 30-35 more accuracy.
Its not 20 more attack with typical mnk gear, You really need to see the big picture. Its, for the third time, 12 LESS ATTACK FOR THE USUKANE MNK BUT HE GAINS 16 STR 26 ACC 29 EVASION 13 STORE TP 5 SUBTLE BLOW AND 2 COUNTER.
I figure in the normal monk set up they'll be parsing about 85%. With the accuracy in full usu you might go up to about 88% is my guess, but would be hitting weaker so maybe you would be hitting not as hard, but more hits landed compared to the person hitting at 85% for bigger numbers I'm sure the difference wouldn't be too big in DoT and over all DD.
A normal mnk with the gear i listed about (mine) will not have 85% accuracy with meat, when meriting on mamools. Its as simple as a normal mnk cant use meat on mamools. I have full h2h merits, full focus merits and the gear listed above. YOU CANT USE MEAT.
