DPS Testing

Perhaps we should be transparent about what we believe the caps are cuz it sounds like we're on different pages.

I don't believe the caps to be 336STR/300INT or close to those. I get enough variation where I'm at to know there's some ceiling above me.

I believe sphairai stat caps are around 365 str/315-320 int, ever since i got my stats around that i have been doing a lot more dmg than any other mnk lol

You might want to do some math, my str is over 340

I have various setups i use where im at caps, close to 900 atk or much higher acc.

Insightful input as always churchill

Galka must have a huge racial difference from cat. If I wear the same thing (same materia, too) I am 20 STR and 20 INT short of Sphairai cap. Food included. I can still hit 800ATK though.

A shame, because I would really like to use eyepatch again.

My extensive dps testing has this setup working out best for me.

Reaching the caps does not always translate for the best dps for the situation.

These forums have just degenerated to who can nitpick the most.

I am not saying it does. I was merely requesting that we state what we believe the Sphairai caps to be since everyone seemed to have their own opinion on it.

Still get large variance at 365/311. (Cap is higher)

Edit: Ah, didn't read the bullshit responses. If you want to claim extensive DPS testing, then use a more logical setup. You can get 20 more INT and 20CritAP just using your sanction GC gear and dropping DarklightforthesakeofDarklight. You can then drop your ring setup and go for 2xSTR rings and rotate Corselet and Gryphonskin w/100+critAP as necessary (basically, accuracy needed or not)

Also, STR on Monk is 243 base(@23STR/22INT allocation), you posted a setup with +93 so an easy assumption is 336.

If you add the str up from the gear posted you will see it is at 340. (that program is just out of beta)

Can i spend more money/materia for different setups? sure... I'll invest in a game that has less then a month left when I had the majority of the content done in August.

I have multiple gear setups where i can hit the "cap" and this is my current favorite. Sorry it falls short in your eyes...
