Monk. Bandwagon Job of 2006

Ok, and enhance on counter and Final Heaven isn't cool to have then?

Final Heaven, damage wise, is absolute shit. There is no secondary strength mod on it. It does about as much damage as Asuran Fists when you use it at 100% TP, barring the triple damage mod. With triple damage mod, Dragon Kick would probably outperform it.

Offensively, the weapon lacks severely without that triple damage chance. Which is what I was talking about. Enhanced Counter isn't really useful if you're not tanking now, is it? Counter won't save you from TP moves.

Will you just stop posting things you know NOTHING about?
 
Actually, from what I've been reading, the triple damage hits won't proc during WS anyway.

Which makes Spharai mostly junk.
 
Well I still stand firm on I want those knuckles. Plus the only way that Destroyers will perform like the Spharai is if you get the latent to be active at all times. So in a sence they are like the Spharai, just the cheap mans knuckles. It's cool though Skaw, maybe you just don't WANT to be the pimpest MNK.
 
You're a fucking joke. 500 Weapon skill points = permanent latent. Just shut the fuck up now.

HAHAHA, but you'll never be pimp. Unless you get the Spharai.

And? What's your point? I'd rather sit on the mound of gil it takes to get them and save my time than persue them.
 
If you had said that, I wouldn't have a problem, but you said "which in endgame equip is one of the most badass pieces of gear to have," and I told you they weren't, and why, and you threw a tantrum. And thus the problem arose.
 
I don't see where I threw a "tantrum" as you say, but whatever. So keep your destroyers and I will still think that the spharai is one of the baddest pieces of end game gear you can get. Besides you already said it yourself that your too cheap to own the spharai anyway.
 
Shaunessy said:
Yeah because when all of the servers shutdown, you can do so much with all that gil.

What kind of retarded logic is that? It's not like you'll magically have Spharai in your hands when they do. But atleast I saved the time required to get them by not needing to do those oh-so-exciting Dynamis Beaucedine and Xarcabard runs.


This thread requires a lock down. It's a disasterous sail with Captain Shaunessy at the helm.
 
Ok, so it's not that your cheap, you just don't want to work for them. That's cool. No I won't have them in my hands when the servers shut down, but I will have accomplished something that I wanted to, and you talk about me throwing a "tantrum". Hell I just figured you're already a 75 MNK, you don't want them that's cool. Bevlieve anything you want to just to keep yourself from getting them. I won't stop this game though until I have 4 things. 75 SAM 75 WHM 75 BLM and a 75 MNK with the Spharai. Actually, depending on how easy it becomes to learn abilities as BLU the higher you get, then I might take that to 75 also. That's about it.
 
First off...hey Tarn! hahah.

Anyway, I think you just noticed that there are so many monks because you`re leveling monk as well. There are probably so many monks looking for a party at a time because of what someone said about distoriton SCs and all that. (But now that you`re 60, that may all change with the invites, since you can make distortion now, too.) It may be true that a lot of monks nowadays are just "bandwagoners"... You may think that there is an over abundance of monks now because you`re leveling it, and you see them as competition perhaps.

I, for one, started about a year ago, when my boyfriend got me to play. Before I bought the game, I did a little research as to what the game was like and what jobs and races F11 offered. I have always been a DD at heart...more specifically, hand-to-hand. Something about getting up close and personal to a mob and punching it was satisfying. I was an Assassin on DiablosIIExpansion a loooong time ago, and it was basically like a MNK/NIN job combo. I saw that monk was the job most fitting for me, and I researched the best race for it. I saw countless threads about Mithras & Elvaans...but I never liked how Mithras looked... Plus Elvaans seemed to have the better base stats needed for a monk. So that got me to where I am now. Only later on in the game did I realize that tarutarus had the best Asuran Fists animation...A year has passed and I can say for sure that this job is one of the best DD jobs. I must say, I am proud to be a monk.

there is so much more to monk than just DDing, that`s for sure. All the job abilities and traits are really great. But the one thing that makes me really happy to be a monk is that feeling I got when I finished the brown belt quest. I`m sure I`ll feel a lot more accomplished when I finally get a black belt, but who knows when that will be... But just getting the brown belt is an accomplishment in itself, since plenty of people just buy it and don`t bother with the quest.

Sorry for the long post and if I made any typos or anything... I`m in Japan right now at an internet cafe on a Japanese keyboard... it's really different, I must say. (And no... no JP button on this one, because there is no FF11 on this computer)
 
can we see the ban stick come into use? seriously, i'm getting sick of this guy.
 
lol I don't think of the other monks as competition, I'm in a static! XD
and aye, let's hear it for the people who actually camped their Brown Belt.
instead of paying 3 million plus for the easy way out.
I killed Morlbolger and all I got was this Brown Belt...
~propz to teh tarutarus for their awesome flip in Asuran Fists.
good gear doesn't make a player great...good gear makes a great player better. (Excluding the obvious here)

gear makes a good player better
gear does not make a noob a player
skill does make a noob a player
skill does not make a player a good player just a beter
for a great player you need skill and gear

And again you're not listening to the people who have actually done research into the topic while you have not. Saphari are not worth their 600-700 mil price, because they just slightly outperform an easily obtainable weapon. The fact that you didn't know that the latent effect on destroyers is permenant once you get 500 ws points proves you haven't bothered looking into anything.As Decidence posted, the page here shows that Saphari suck compared to the other relic pieces and barely outperform destroyers.

For about the 10th time, stay out of discussions that you know nothing about nor are willing to do some research. All you do is give out some bad information and then look foolish when everyone proves you wrong.
