The way I see it, as long as you're going through your rotation as usual then you're doing the same amount of damage in a shorter time. How quickly you empty out shouldn't make a difference, right?

If you're emptying your TP you're going to be doing higher DPS for the duration that you have TP but once you hit the wall you're going to be doing 0 until you get TP making SkS only worth it for short fights were you don't risk draining all you TP. If you hit this wall SkS stat weights is going to be something like 0.04 as it still affects dots. In this case just picking up more det will be better.

I feel i should inform the monk community that i will be leaving the game due to my raid static removing myself, and most likely not coming back any time soon, as such i will no longer be able to answer questions here on the forums, but i have faith that there are many others who can easily do exactly what i did.

it has been a good run with everyone here, and i thank those who congratulated my achievements across the way (namely the world first monk A4S which i didnt even tell you all about, stalkers!)

It was posted on the tonberry thread so I knew you were up there.

Sad to see you go bro.

So now that we know the accuracy cap for A8/M4 Savage (723 front, 713 flank) I just found 2 BiS builds. I don't know which one to go with though.

723 acc, 983 crit, 587 det, 706 ss, Steamed Staff

720 acc (little bit under front cap but enough for flank), 1070 crit, 362 det, 853 ss, Baked Pipira Pira
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/SZWD

I personally prefer the first build because it's more balanced with the stats and has less skill speed...but on the other hand, more crit is always nice right?

No, that's not it. The Japanese got it from some guy on reddit who was taking a guess. It was published on reddit before a7s was even cleared.

Oh, right. Well my bad then. lol. Guess I'll carry on taking any upgrades I can get till we actually get the caps.

Am I the only one who isn't okay with their choice of buffs for this patch? On my server, Monks are STILL being the less preferred melee DPS because of their lack of utility. I even saw a PF up today that only wanted a DRG/NIN/BRD or MCH/SMN or BLM. I don't think simply increasing their DPS was the way to go.

Maybe these people want to be #1 DPS and know that having a Monk on the team will prevent that from happening? Monk is beast.
