Is there anything I can swap to improve?

Wow...poor Lalafel (OP). Guess you will need that extra Rubelite Ring.
I have a spare, it's right between these two slices of bread.....

I'm used to it; playing a taru in ffxi got me used to having abysmal melee stats (cept dat MP pool on PLD, mmmmmm)

With my stats and Taal's stats basically the same, comparing them to Judge's, there seems to be 11 difference between str at lvl 50. I was wondering how everyone was stating that they could drop a +1 str ring in favor of an acc ring.

Interesting, as an Elezen my base stats + Ifrit claws are
STR: 245
INT: 247
ATT: 520
ACC: 349

I knew there was a difference between races. Im curious as to what the rest of your stats are.

Rest of my stats are on the post right above the one you quoted.

drop the flame serg. ring and use another rubellite +1. change belt to veteran's or flame sergeant's belt. imo

I read through these threads and have to ask.
Why drop the flame serg ring for a rubellite +1?
As this person is wearing 3 Flame items they get the bonus which is a grand total of 20 attack. STR +18 from the rubellite would only give 9 attack bonus. Is there something I am missing that would require dropping 20 attack for 18 str?

STR is one of Monks Primary bonus stats, it gives a hidden boost to overall damage up to a specific point based on the DPS of your weapon. Most people tend to agree 40 DPS roughly requires around 350 STR and 310 INT for maximum benefits, but being the Saraphi has 42.06 DPS it's stat caps are higher and pretty difficult to hit in most cases.

However, seeing as SE is adjusting battle mechanics in ARR, we can only speculate on what they plan on changing and just how effective current stats will be in ARR. So there isn't a huge rush outside of personal satisfaction to actually try to reach relic stat caps at this point.
