Gearing Your Monk in iLvl 90 Gear: A Discussion

[Xell]

500 accuracy is more than safe. It's actually a relatively large mistake that will lead to poor optimization, since that is what this thread is about.

I don't understand the argument of 491 skill speed. The only two reasons for the 2.0 break point are wanting to use more filler skills, i.e. ID and wanting to fit in true strike. ID is an inefficient TP drainer and true strike is an incredibly minor dps increase. You can still use true strike with more than 2.0 skill speed, you just lost 10% dmg for an auto attack+the skill, or something like that. I would so much rather have more crit/det so that I don't get TP starved so easily.

There was a thread earlier with a guy that ran the numbers through a program and came out with the ideal set. I believe it had something like 32(extra) skill speed in it. Here is the thread. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Best-Monk-Set

The excel function figures out the best allagan/myth piece combination assuming accuracy >= 472, and crit>det>skillspeed.

Every number I've seen says det is quite a bit better than crit, point for point. I hope what you mean saying that is having 34 crit on X gear is better than having 18 det on Y gear (made of numbers).
