Gearing Your Monk in iLvl 90 Gear: A Discussion

[Zigkid3]

So if I have weapon +1, myth helm, myth chest, allagan earring of maiming, hq gryphon pants/boots/ring, DL the rest, what should I save my next myth tomes for?

Seems like it comes to pants, necklace, or wrist maybe? Gloves? I have the worst luck and haven't gotten any Turn 1 or 2 drops =/

For someone using Relic+1, youll have 341 acc base and +37 from the weapon, this means you need an additional 94 accuracy from equipment to meet the 472 accuracy requirement for the soft cap. For the weights, lets go 60%>30%>10%, these weights are arbitrary depending on how much you value one stat over the other.

If you prefer Crit>Det>SS, 60%>30%>10%:

Boots: Either
Head: Melee
Waist: Allagan
Chest: Allagan
Legs: Allagan
Gloves: Allagan
Bracelets: Allagan of maiming
Neck: Allagan Choker of maiming
Earrings: Hero's Earings of slaying
Rings: Allagan of striking & maiming

You'll get 476 accuracy (4 over), +153 crit, +49 det, +56 ss.

If you prefer Det>Crit>SS, 60%>30%>10%:

Boots: Either
Head: Allagan
Waist: Allagan
Chest: Allagan
Legs: Melee
Gloves: Allagan
Bracelet: Allagan of maiming
Neck: Hero's
Earrings: Allagan of striking
Rings: Allagan of striking & maiming

You'll get 476 accuracy (4 over), +134 crit, +81 det, +32 ss.

I entered the gear in at XIVdb and got a different outcome than you, can we confirm if your numbers are correct?

I got 133 accuracy, 144 crit, 81 det, 58 ss. Not too shabby if my numbers are correct, which is why i wanted to confirm with you.

I double checked the stats for each piece.

my hero's belt of striking was 16 acc and 16 ss, when it should've been 11 acc and 16 ss. This is because i used gamerscape for the stats and gamerscape reported it wrong as 16, 16 when it shouldve been 11, 16. i double checked all of my gear's stats with the FFXIV LIBRA database app just to make sure which website was reporting it correctly, XIVDB is reporting it correctly, gamerscape had it incorrect.
there was also a typo with allagan cuirass of striking saying it gave 24 crit, it was actually supposed to be 34 crit.

Now that i fixed those two problems which effected accuracy by 5 and crit by 10, everything else should be correct. thats why i had 134 crit at first instead of 144 crit that you had, so there's that 10 crit difference. determination was the same. and i have also confirmed that my skillspeed was correct it is 32 and not 58. i plugged the set into XIVDB wardrobe as well and they too say that skillspeed with this set would be 32. also accurcy according to xivdb as well as my excel sheet both add up to 96+37=133 as well.

I will reupload the updated version on dropbox and change the google doc link as well, and will edit this post once those changes have been updated. other than those two things, everything else is correct and adds up correctly.

edit: Okay both links have been updated on my post on the first page. here they are again if you don't want to go to the first page:
