Merman's earring was a better earring for TP and WS for mnk.

If you chose triumph, then yes, you'd be a bad monk.


I look at it this way.


Gear + Skill > anything else.

Having skill isn't enough. You can be the most skilled person in the world and let's say use all lv 50 gear and you just won't cut it.

You can have the best gear in the game and no skill, and still be horrible.

If you have good gear and know how to play your job, combine the gear and the skill, that's where you get the best players.



Here is my perspective.

Gear = Potential. The better gear you have, the better higher potential you will have as a player. Your skill level = how much of that potential you are reaching.
I really think you're one of those people who just like to "hear yourself talk". The original intent of my post had nothing to do with a high level whm wearing level 50 gear and discussing how skill alone doesn't make a good player. I never said that to begin with anyway, so I don't even know what you're correcting.
