Monk materia?
So I just returned from a long break and got my monk to 70. Iv been reading a lot of mixed reviews on what materia I should put in my gear.
Some have said sks or DH or crit.
Now I understand why people say crit but honestly i feel like since bootshine is a gurenteed crit as well my other abilities still seem to crit at a decent rate i dont really see the point of it
Ithers swear by sks and some people love DH. both make sense to me but i feel like you would only need so much sks.
Basically what would be a good aim for Crit and sks numbers? I feel like once i hit those peak points i will just throw in DH for the rest.
Thanks for any help

You always want to prioritize crit since every crit weaponskill is a 50% chance to open a chakra. So in addition to the added damage from doing a critical hit, more crits = more Forbidden Chakras.
As for DH vs SS, as I’ve come to understand it, it comes down a lot to your personal ping/latency as well as preference. If you have poor ping, since you can’t execute moves in your combo until the server registers you’ve executed the previous one, you’ll want to go a DH route.
However, if you have good server ping and latency, a high SS build is equally viable. The difference between the two builds ultimately is minimal, and can be said to come down to personal preference in this instance.
Here’s a chart as well that can help. Basically there’s no point in adding more SS if you can’t get to the next threshold of GCD reduction. Could change a couple melds or equipment choices.

Ok kool. Thank you for the reply.
One last question. Is there a crit cap or anything. Or is there a point where adding crit doesnt do much anymore?

Not really. The way crit works in this game is it scales exponentially, so the more of it you get, the better it is. The more crit you have not only does it increase your critical hit chance, but it also increases the amount of bonus damage on that hit. So especially on monk, the more of it you can get, the better.
