[Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto] MNK

[Paksenarrion]

I have to agree that I don't see the issue with the timer on Chi Blast. Granted, I think I've demonstrated well enough that I don't understand the basics of MNK to the extent that people like Cream_Soda has, let alone the advanced work.

Chakra is something I'd be happy to see improved, entirely because getting as little HP as it gives was kinda lol at 75, let alone 90.

little hp? i chakra for a total of 983 atm OUTSIDE of abyssea if you've got the gear for it chakra has always been a very decent heal with a potent regen effect.

Gotta agree with most of the responders on here, I don't see an issue with the recast timer at all.

So, where are you getting 273 vit from?

Galka mnk/war w/ 8 vit merits @ 90 has 100 vit

Being nice, I'm going to let you use a vit staff and grip

Af+1 body and af2 hands

I'm counting +85 vit, that's WITH a staff that gives vit+15 and a grip that gives vit+2


100+85 = 185

185 x 3.6 = 666

Take away staff/grip and put in a real weapon
168 VIT
168 x 3.6 = 604.8~604 HP return.

If you're including the regen, that's very very misleading, as the way I read that, the Chakra itself gave you 983, lol. Invig should only be counted if you're soloing (at best). Otherwise, you'll already have a stronger regen on you and the one from chakra contributes nothing.

i solo alot so i count the invig effect. im at 92+70 atm for vit. with staff grip and feet i could hit +21 more vit *but as mentioned thats impractical same way i dont count shadow mantle.
chakra set : rings are terrasoulx2

[Cream_Soda]

That's fine but the way you said it came off giving it much more credit than it actually deserves, lol

[Gokku]

even with out the invig effect the 583 is a solid cure 4/ shitty cure 5 nothing ground breaking but its been the deciding factor for me killing something or being killed while solo alot of times. i was just trying to point out to the other monk that chakra is a good ja if you put the work into it.

[Cream_Soda]

I never said it wasn't good. I just said you were overstating what it is.

If I say I do a 15k victory smite and I only do a 5k victory smite. 5k is a damn awesome victory smite, but it doesn't mean I wasn't giving it more than its deserved credit, no matter how awesome it actually was.

[Gokku]

but everyone knows brew dmg is the only dmg!

[Paksenarrion]

Glad it was clarified that it did include Invigorate or I was going to be like "Wha? HOW!?" How many merits do you have in Invigorate if I may ask?

I really need to retrain myself on playing this game. I would probably be so much better at the minor things if I used more stuff available to me. Also question why I put my temple cyclas +1 and melee gloves +1 on the porter moogle while I kept my relic body out.

Maybe tomorrow I'll do an assessment and see what I need to do to make myself be better. Write some new macros and stuff.

Sorry, I love my MNK, but I'm a terrible one. =(
