[Martinius]

I've had a odd time finding something to supplement into the pants that wouldn't add an inv space.

i use lore slops (i got a free pair w/ cure cast time -6% on it for my rdm, so already had) which gives -1%, and colossus mantle, which gives -2%. (i don't have denali yet >.>), so i cap w/ unmerrited shell 5. otherwise your setup looks really strong.

You're not looking at the big picture, really.

You'll be meleeing while these mobs are casting spells and if it's something that casts a lot of spells,then you'll be losing a lot of damage.

W/ shellra V, you only need 23 MDT to cap your reduction. w/ just that I find myself to be fine on pretty much everything. I don't really use anything for MDB, after capping MDT, I use damage gear.

I use this set and am able to maintain capped haste while capping MDT

I'm not sure how you'd work around that w/ shadow ring, but I'd work for something similar.

my rani tanking these days is pretty much just easy mode of proc'ing blue and having our armageddon cor come and wildfire two shot the rest of rani and hug the martello till the next blue proc.

There is only one thing I have to say.

WHY SO SERIOUS?
Sorry I had to say it

Didn't read every post, but Brutal Earring's Double Attack bonus is +5%.
Also, you can equip Epona's Ring for Double Attack +3% and Triple Attack +3%, and you are left still with enough slots to cap haste with your Monk, as well as get ample Str bonuses.
So, the answer is this: If you can cap haste, do it. If you can cap haste and get double attack/triple attack, do it. Instead of playing a numbers game, hunt for what you can to get all the flavors your after: Str, Haste, Double Attack, and Triple Attack.

I guess technically I have +50 STR in my TP set, but it's not because I'm gearing for STR =/

Wow, trolling has already made its way over here to the official forums. Or being clueless...or both...heck, they are not mutually exclusive sometimes.

I guess I will feed some flame to the potential troll fire, and ask exactly how race and subjob affect the calculations in this matter. The benefits that both provide can be broken down into stats. For example, dark knights attack bonus. As well as variants in basic stats.

As far as a statistical viewpoint is concerned, at least one side of the argument has posed numbers that may be tested for validity once the servers come back up. Even without a parser, it is not too hard to, if one is really dedicated, to actually read back through unfiltered chat logs and...put in damage into an excel file...via writing down by hand back before the official windowed mode, and window by window after it was released.

At the end of the day though this thread has provided a great deal of entertainment to me, and I have enjoyed reading it immensely. I will continue to do so.
