Monk BiS! Please help!

In my opinion there are only 3 possible sets that can be considered optimised/BiS. Each has 472 accuracy.

+209 crit, +92 det, +15 skill speed
Weapon: Allagan Baghnakhs
Head: Melee
Body: Allagan
Hands: Allagan
Belt: Allagan
Legs: Melee
Feet: Allagan
Neck: Hero's
Earring: Tremor
Wrist: Inferno
Ring: Vortex
Ring Allagan Maiming
Food: HQ Deviled Eggs

+198 crit, +100 det, +15 skill speed
Weapon: Allagan Baghnakhs
Head: Melee
Body: Allagan
Hands: Allagan
Belt: Allagan
Legs: Melee
Feet: Allagan
Neck: Hero's
Earring: Tremor
Wrist: Hero's
Ring: Vortex
Ring Allagan Striking
Food: HQ Deviled Eggs

+182 crit, +111 det, +15 skill speed
Weapon: Allagan Baghnakhs
Head: Melee
Body: Allagan
Hands: Allagan
Belt: Allagan
Legs: Melee
Feet: Allagan
Neck: Hero's
Earring: Tremor
Wrist: Hero
Ring: Allagan Striking
Ring Allagan Maiming
Food: HQ Deviled Eggs

The winner would depend on whatever the correct stat weighting currently is for MNK.

how much accuracy is needed for t5 for monk 485?

I believe so, in which case I believe changing the belt to the hero belt would be a better option as it gives you more acc and allows you to use buttons in blanket HQ which gives great stats. Also don't forget to stack to stack on them STR potions as its great for zerg times XD

With diet becoming even more important due to the upgrade to GL I'm personally aiming for the second set in that list with the only change being the belt so I don't need ACC food but can go full on DD food.

Thanks

1000 character limit? Really?

I know this is somewhat of a necro at this point, but I found a combination that (according to these stat weights) ends up better by a bit, and this seems to be the most quoted post/thread when it comes to Monk BiS.

+163 crit, +124 det, +15 skill speed, 473 Accuracy
Weapon: Allagan Baghnakhs
Head: Melee
Body: Allagan
Hands: Allagan
Belt: Allagan
Legs: Melee
Feet: Allagan
Neck: Allagan Maiming
Earring: Allagan Maiming
Wrist: Allagan Maiming
Ring: Allagan Striking
Ring Allagan Maiming
Food: HQ Buttons in a Blanket

Another (my favorite) upside is that Buttons are much easier to farm than Deviled eggs. For the unlucky/poor man, trading out the neck and wrists for Hero's gear still ends up marginally better than the quoted set.

According to this, the link below might be better than the most quoted one.

That one has 15 less accuracy than any other on this page. Is 458 the cap for dungeons or something?

458 is more than enough for all coil.

I see the error in my ways. I was to the understanding that DET was 2xSTR in regards to AA but.....

DTR seems to have roughly twice the return on investment for auto-attack than for weaponskills.

Swapping chest and feet down to i80 pieces isn't a good idea. That 7 Str loss is a pretty huge impact not to mention the Crit loss you take with that set to get just a little Det. Also your build doesn't have enough Det to make full use of the HQ Black Truffle Risotto. 4% of the 340 Determination you would have in that set is only 13.6. You would need to have 425 Det to get the full benefit of the Det.

Hey thanks for the catch. Not sure what I was thinking basing my DET off 341 instead of the 202 base value when calculating for the Truffle. Updated my post.
