The Monk Temple

[Riot55]

So to verify, there is no Best in Slot gear for Monk that is AF2, right? Allagan is all better in every slot?

I'm having trouble deciding what to buy with my myth tokens considering I have 4 gryphonskins (chest/legs/boots/ring) and the rest Darklight, and I have a Coil group that can beat turn 1 and will be working on turn 2 next week (will probably get it, didn't seem too hard).

Here's me: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2253344/ What do you think, should I go for the myth helm since the allagan visor drops in turn 4? But then again, the allagan helmet is much better than the AF2 one, so then I'll feel like I wasted myths. I could get the chest piece since it's comparable in DPS (according to that spreadsheet someone posted) to the allagan and nobody has posted where the Monk chest drops in Coil yet, but then I would probably feel bad for replacing gryphonskin I spent a lot on. The chest would have a lot of +ACC though which would help if Allagan pieces start to drop since most of them don't have ACC. Ugh! Lol, stressing myself out! What do you guys think the wisest path to take with myths is? And just wanted to verify, is any AF2 better than Allagan at all in any slot, including all the accessories? Myth necklace looks like it might be BiS....

Imho, AF2 helm is better than allagan visor, the +6crit it's better than the determination, this is the only one AF2 piece which is worth it. The AF2 legs are also better than allagan, but without the turn 5 gear, the +34acc force you to drop other bis piece to not exceed too much the acc cap.

This is my bis pre turn 5 implying allagan cuirass doesn't drop on turn 1-4 : http://en.xivdb.com/?wardrobe/2099/mnk3
With the turn 5 : http://en.xivdb.com/?wardrobe/2097/mnk (just add the 3 bis from t5 and switch legs and neck for acc)

I think you should buy the AF2 helm, maybe, idk, gl

Thanks. I don't see the AF2 pants as being better, but I guess it's just to keep up the accuracy after the other slots are filled with Allagan? I guess I will go for helm first, then a toss up between chest or neck/bracelet maybe.

It's just my opinion, but I think AF2 legs are our best way too be acc capped with turn 5 weap/chest/wrists

PB opening
DK > SP > SP > SP > IR > DM > FR > ToD (will give GL3)


1. Open Behind - (skipped if opening with PB) Only start with this if you have GL3 and not opening with PB)
BS > TS > IR > DM > Frac > ToD

The rest are assuming you have GL3

2. Flank
DK > TwS > SP (If you don't have GL3, you can repeat this 3 times to get it.)
3. Behind
ID > ID > BS > TS > Flank SP
4. Flank
DK > TwS > DM > SP
5. Behind
ID > ID > BS > TS > Flank SP
6. Flank
DK > TwS > SP
7. Behind (stage 1 repeat)
ID > ID > BS > TS > IR > DM > Frac > ToD

Is this the optimal MNK rotation? I haven't touched my MNK since 1.0 so I'm lost on how to play it.

Any geared monks finding their enmity/threat skyrocketing? I've been slowly getting gear (relic +1, more darklight pieces, etc) and I don't know if it is just the tank in my FC, but even when I waited a bit on the pull, I'd still eventually build up enough enmity to pull off of him.

Would be neat if they also made fists of wind lower enmity or something like that

I am currently contemplating about getting sphairai +1... Is it worth getting Sphairai +1 or should I just use my points on Accessories/armor?

Get Sphairai+1, definitely.

How geared is your tank and what fights do you experience this problem? There are many factors to be taken into consideration.

Personally, I wouldn't go for the Melee Circlet over the Allagan Visor... sorry but, I don't see how +6 crit is better than +15 determination. As for the rest of your set, it looks good.
