i have spoken with skaw about the issue of monk acc and the H2H weopon options.

my question is with dual snipers and juj gi am i over killing acc?

the reason i am asking is because some people have said that at 36 mnks gets str rings.

not trying to say skaw's opinion does not count but i would definitly like some feed back as to how much acc a mnk really needs.

also wondering if i can get away with impact knuckles till level 52 then get tm hooks+2.

any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
I would say to have a pair of snipers and a pair of +str rings. When you get to camp, /check the mobs with the +str rings on. If they are low evasion you're good. Otherwise put on one or both snipers until they are. This is what most melee do anyway.
 
I dunno.. At lv35, i'm using a Ven. ring and a STR ring.. but i also used battle gloves.. +6 Acc. and oh yeah, Impact.. so +9 acc. and I didn't miss all too much at all.. haven't tried it with my new O. kote.. but then I moved server, so no O. kote :D but uhh.. I don't think MNK needs much Acc. all too much anyways.. I was getting TP quicker than the RNG in my party... I'm elvaan as well.. I say go with 1 snip and 1 STR, balanced a bit.
 
I don't play monk much but from my expieriecne with monk the two things that make the biggest difference are ACC and EVA. IMO.

If you think about it, since no matter what you do your attacks will never be super powerful. But if you decrease your miss rate, you do alot more damage. After all 2 hits is better than 1 any day, and monk does ALOT of hits.

EVA stacks with monks abilities to help with hits landing, but then again not sure if there are beter things. And that only helps if you do get hit, I'd think this would be the best thing to have though.
 
I would say stick with the Snipers and eat some Attack Food
or try the other way around Squid sushi with the Str rings i personally think the Attack food and snipers will be better. What level are you ill give you a good Att+ food.

Dante is right DOT (damage over time) will be higher with the snipers.
 
nailed level 40 last night i am thinking more of leaning towards snipers and chiefkabobs.

i really need to kill that basterd in ordeles cave for the belt but until then i guess my purple will do fine.

also i find tourney patas to have some nice dmg to them dmg+11 is not bad.

i would say average hitting for 40-50 per hit.

Um so go kill it and get the best item you can have damn near at level 40 for your MNK and it's free. Why you would not want a brown belt the minute you can equip it makes me wonder what type of drugs you abuse.

If I saw a MNK at 45 for example with a purple belt I would mpk him, he does not deserve to play the game. Hell even 42 would be pushing it, STR +5 and Haste +8%? You better believe you should have it by now wtf.

Just to be fair, camping Marbolger is not an easy task. I'll be the first to tell you that I suck at claiming NM's, but I was down there for 5 days (never missed a spawn) and I didn't claim it once. I was close on the 3rd spawn, but I still missed it.

During the spawn period you need to be willing to compete against 10-15 other people, which (in my opinion) is quite difficult on a 21-24 hour spawn.

I bought my Brown Belt when I was at 40 (since I couldn't kill the quest monsters solo), sold it at 50 after comparing it with my Life Belt.


Anyway, to get back on-topic - Monk needs a crap load of ACC gear after about 50-55.

I have dual snipers, scorpion harness, life belt, spartan cesti and eat Yellow Curry or Hedgehog Pies.

That's +32 ACC in gear alone, and I miss a lot on exp mobs, unless they're IT--.

I'd suggest using dual snipers in exp parties 99% of the time. If you have a PCC you could probably drop the snipers in favor of strength rings. But even then, I wouldn't until around 72-74.

Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you about the bolded part. The only thing that I have ever worn on my monk since level 40 is a brown belt and I've never had an accuracy or damage problem. I've got a scorpion harness and a sniper/venerer, but I have a weapon without +acc on it, I wear my brown belt and I eat sole sushi. Even fighting IT's, my accuracy is fine.

I agree with snipers until much higher levels, and a SH is definitely worth it if you can get it. While I wouldn't go to the extent that vang would, I do agree with the sentiment about monks needing a brown belt. You should keep a life belt on you in case you just can't hit the mobs at all, but brown belt > lifebelt for most fights.
 
i am not sure if vang will say something to this but i definity want to get 41 and raging fists then stop.

i do have a life belt but i really dont see life belt being better then the brown belt.

then again that is my opinion.

question about head gear though i see nothing tech better then my hairpin until af.
do any of u guys recomend any other head gear other then that?
 
AF head isn't that good for partying anyways. Half of my AF I just carry to macro in for my abilities, other than that I don't wear it. I wore a Mercenary Captain's Mask though, since I wanted +str more than +dex.
 
wow vang thanks for the input... lets try and keep this constructive 0_0

Check this page out and use the recomended foods for your attack levels it really makes a difference. It looks like Meat Chiefkabobs are still to high for you so you arent getting maximum effect out of it. I would try Dhalmel Pie for a while and see if there is a change. Good luck and if you need help with the brown belt send me a tell in game. my handle is Ugotjacked.
