MNK situation...

[ds083roadkill]

I've made mnk 18-65 in a little over a month (i think), but a aproaching problem has hit me. I dont plan to merit mnk much scine i've basically have full merits except for mnk ja's and new ja/jt's. My combat merits are already spent, so no merit'd h2h. I'm wondering with this setup:

Turban, chivy chain, bushi, fenrir, osode, o.kote, 2xflame, forgers, brown belt, byakko's, fuma + sushi

am i going to be able to hit anything for over 90%+ or am i going to have to stick with woodsmans?
EDIT: shura legs/head avalible, body is not at the moment.


also, whats the "best" choice in footwear for mnk? i was not too impressed with the kick+ boots.

Your accuracy with that gear should still be over 90% with sushi. Do you have an O-hat available? Just curious, but why were you not impressed with the kung fu series boots?

ya i got ohat. but i wasnt impressed with kfs because i didnt kick enough to make them worthwhile

Before 71 any kick attack boots are a waste of gil period, besides kick attacks are so random, fed kyahan should be just fine.

wrong comp >.>

I went

Walhara turban
Togi
Foragers
PCC
Melee gloves
Black Belt
Brutal
Raja's
Byakko's
Diablo's Earring
Woodsman Ring
Fuma Sune Ate
Tiphia Sting

I had 8 Hand to Hand merits, and with sushi i still wouldnt cap Accuraccy
if i was fightning something with a little over average evasion, like mamools.
If you plan on sticking on all puks im sure your setup is fine. But there is
absolutely no reason whatsoever to stick w/ your flame rings and bushi for tp.
2 woodsman and either an attack earring or a acc earring would do you so
much better.

As for best footwear i used Fuma Sune At, mostly cause im a haste-whore
and i wasnt to impressed w/ the dune boots either. I'd drop the Osode as
soon as possible aswell, its basically crap cept for ws, and thats only if you
are able to land all 8 hits from asuran wich in your current setup i doubt
you are gonna do if you go up against anything with a little higher evasion.

what if you camped NM for them like i did? =P

 

[Skaw]

It doesn't change the fact that initial Kick Attacks are a rare occurance, and you're better off boosting the rest of your damage.

ya, i'm probably going to switch out fenrir or bushi for fowlings earring for sushi, and possibly pickup a sting, thou i tossed one before *tear*

i never did parse fuma sa vs. relic boots on sam, so i was never sure.

thx for the input

back when I played, I just decked out acc gear ... went snipers+1 vs flame ... i'd wear the NQ ones over flame and still use sushi ... and I would only be 100-200 a fight behind a ridill war ... granted i had a bb

oh the the foot issue, i wore fuma sunate

MNK cant use fowling. Good earrings for tp i would say is Brutal > Hollow > Diablos > Minuet (w/ a brd) > Merman. I'd Keep the bushi for ws. Im not to fond of fenrir's since its basically only active half the time. Its good if you remember to switch for something else during the wrong part off day i guess.

As for the tiphia, there is really no need for a mnk to have a range ws, so it should be safe. Otherwise some of the RSE satchets are nice for ranged slots. As for the fuma, the feet option for mnks are rather limited, so its basically either Fuma's or Dunes and i wasnt impressed with the Dunes.

As for destroyers they are a kickass weapon. Only weapon i liked more was my Faith Baghnaks, but they had the downside of needing about 15 stacks of virtues for a single exp-session since they ate stones at twice the rate of any other jailer-weapon so i never got to use em that much.
