That's what I'm getting at.

Oh, well, then we agree. It was just a phrasing thing, then.

OK i want to know yall honest opinion, can a mnk full VIT stat'd, with a mix of i80 and i90 gear tank Titan in a 3 healer set up? honestly i was in CT last night/ early this morning and a mnk came into the party saying this. thought? also anyone else tank some things just to see how capable mnk is at it? i know in XI mnk could counter tank but thats not an option here, ( i loved doing that) but any thoughts? seems very improbable to me but i may be wrong. as seeing tanks who get better DEF gear and better CD's for tanking still get hurt from regular auto attacks and stomps pretty rough if not geared correctly.

It's at least feasible, but pretty much the entire party would have to cater to it. With 3x heals, surviving shouldn't be too big an issue, but dps will probably have to slow quite a bit to not pull aggro.

Nope. Without positionals you can't do enough damage to hold aggro, and even if you could get positionals healers would overtake you with how much they'd have to heal you.

If they WHM's stoneskin spamed I would say yes it could be done. I have seen a full WHM party beat Titan.....

I would have never stayed awake through the whole fight to see the end of it

In Titan Extreme, I found it hard to keep up with DPS with my monk and was wondering in this fight would dragoons have a higher DPS then monk?

Hey guys I just finished my PLD to ilvl 90 and now will be working on my MNK (only been gearing it for the last 3 weeks). I kind of need some advice on how I should go about spending Tomes and what not.

Current setup. (ilvl 82)
Sphairai (Not Zenith)
Melee Circlet
Fuma Koromo
Darklight Bracers
Darkight Whipping Belt
Fuma Hakama
Fuma Kyahan
Darklight Strike Neck
Allagan Maim Ear
Hero Bracers
Allagan Maim Ring
Vortex Ring of Striking


I am Still working on trying to get the EX primals down to get the Hellish Claws. But I am unsure what my next Tome buy and/or CT drop should be. Any advice? (I will be mostly taking PLD into coil for MNK drops)

Would the Fuma Hands and Myth Choker be my best bet, or Myth Hands and ignore a CT Drop (and pick up the Light armor for my WAR), or someother combo......

Thanks!

DRG is more forgiving because they do not have to stack/re-stack GLx3, but a properly played MNK should be near the top of the meter on every fight. I recommend playing what you enjoy, and just focusing on clean execution.
