Why more haste?

[Neisan_Quetz]

Twilight belt is potentially worse for Fury than warwolf/elebelts, even inside Abyssea. Assumed RR/GH/Apoc atmas, useless for Asuran, loses easily for Smite last I checked. Epona's is not a comparable item, it has TA+3 as well.

[Martinius]

twilight belt will always be worse, except for when DA procs, but his point was valid that it has the potential to spike damage.

as for asurans, really, the only time you should be using asuran fists in abyssea is when trying to proc blue !!. and yeah, outside of abyssea, twilight belt is useless on AF, since asuran can't double attack or crit. you should just be using str/att and acc.

[Greatguardian]

If you want Spike damage, you're looking at Triple Attack procs with a STR belt anyways. For Victory Smite, Black Belt easily destroys other options (aside from Bier+1). A Warwolf belt augmented with Attack+ should still beat Twilight for Ascetic's Fury.

You also have to remember, DA procs are worth less for WS than they are for TP'ing.

Not only is the DA proc gives less damage (since auto 1.0 ftp), it also gives less tp.

Or perhaps cuchulan w/e instead of Atheling mantle.

Ok, so let me get this straight.

You're taking 2% DA and nothing else vs 7 str

and comparing it to

4 str vs 3% DA and 20 attack?


just want to make sure I'm getting your point clearly.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Clearly his accuracy is far below 50% with capped attack.

twilight belt over a black belt LOL, do you even have monk leveled?

[Manicora]

lol how is Black NOT easy to get. Can get it So easy now with very little time too.
I spent 2 weeks getting My belt, then helped 4 ppl get there belts within 1 week, Low man ftw.

Speaking of this haste cap, anyone noticed they did the same with +acc?

In all honesty, I can see why they did it. Empyrean isn't going to be level 99 gear, but there will be pieces you will use. Think about the next line of gear they're going to bring in, that might need the extra +haste or +acc that some of your empyrean will bring in.

Monk is a gear based job, I have 3 armour sets that I swap between throughout battle, so the full benefit of any full set will never be seen unless I decided to just sit and autoattack for the duration of a pty, but then your losing out on so much of mnk.

So guys, pick and choose, complain if you want to, at the end of the day it isn't going to matter. Either you forget about full sets and start working on the gear you need for certain weapon skills/abilities, or you accept that they're never going to bring out a full set that makes using macros redundant.

Why oh why that hands have haste+ on it beats me?

makes your fist hit the mob faster??? lol
