MNK endgame gear?

[Aidir]

I'm looking for tips of gear for armor to wear at endgame better than the AF. Currently I'm wearing the Flame Sergeant's Tabard and working on getting Flame Sergeant's Hose. Any other good pieces of equipment I should know about?

I use:
Ifrit's Claws
Temple Gloves
Darklight Caligae
Darklight Eyepatch
Darklight Corslet
Felt Trousers 2x meld 13 str 15 vit
Boarskin Belt 1x melt 13 crit
Explorer earing
Electrum Gorget +1
Rubellite Bracelets +1
2x Rubellite Ring +1

I parse 100-110dps on MM with all abilities on cooldown using this set.
(this is from our under 17 min AV runs where I change to monk after we spawn MM)

^ Don't pay attention to what she said. It's all extremely rare gear that you have to give your life up just to get.

Anything that boosts a MNK's primary stats (INT and STR) and gives attack power, crit attack power, etc is good.

Rainmaker's Tunic
Felt Khecks
Felt Trousers
Fingerless raptorskin gloves of slaying
Caligea
...You get the picture lol. Just if you use crafted gear, apply some materia. And the gear from the Grand Company's is really good for what it's worth and the extra stats you get. Plus the new GC weapons we will be getting next patch will be almost just as good as primal weapons.

Holy balls! 100-110 DPS in a Corslet? You're making me ashamed to be a monk. I pull 120 in sub-par gear.


...

What DeadRiser said is pretty solid advice. Aim to get STR around 350, and INT 310 then go Attk/Crit Attk. where able.

Legs/Gloves are easy places to stack STR materias, and head is probably your best source of INT (AF head is a pretty good piece there, TBH) for entry into endgame.

Pick up a pair of Flame Sergeant's Patas, providing you can keep Sanction up, they're better then Ifrits and will activate the (3) set bonus on your body, which is pretty nice for UD.

I like how people are told to ignore the best gear because it's rare.

You missed something. lol
When I engage Mistress I have ALL abilities on cool down, because I swap from bard after she spawns.

Kinda funny isn't it?

No, usually people ask this question because they are at, or close to our current endgame. Why would they bring themselves in one of these dungeons to get the best gear (even though it's a lifelong grind) with nothing on?

Do you people think about what you say? Just because YOU have the time to farm these dungeons, doesn't mean everyone else does and telling them all your rare drops isn't going to do much.

I also like how poorly geared players try and justify why they won't try to get darklight.

So I guess I'll take that as a personal attack? I'm a full time college student with a part time job. I do what I can with the time I have. I like to think my grand company gear and my primal weapons are pretty damn good. Also have a couple of double melded gear that I made myself with the little gil that I had.

I'm not justifying why she shouldn't try to get darklight, I'm saying that there's no point since few people even have a peice of darklight, let a lone a full set. So instead of attacking me, why don't you contribute to the thread?

Why Ifrit over Garuda?
