What the changes to War, Drg and Mnk really mean...

[Ayasee]

As long as Coil continues to not drop any DRG gear, I'm going to continue to buy the visible Wyrm gear and then move on to the accessories. Yes, contrary to all other drop reports, my coil group has seen next to no DRG gear. Looking at my gear, one would think I started Coil of Bahamut a week ago. -_-

I was tempted at first too, but I held out and used crafted/melded shoes/gloves instead. If I bought the gloves/helmet/pants from the vendor, I would have instant buyer's remorse. The helmet I can see it being decent if you have the Allagan spear, but I don't think it's worth it even if it's ilvl90 (maybe for vanity though).

The only Wyrm gear I have slight buyer's remorse on are the Greaves because that slot is a Turn 5 drop. I do feel your pain on the lack of DRG coil drops in comparison to what everyone else says though. I finally got my gloves from Turn 2 only for them to drop the next 3 times after we cleared Turn 2. >.<

Which is a lot less than a straight 10% damage increase.

My brain just melted......

Lol I was thinking the same thing when I read that post.

What the hell is the difference between 10% dps increase vs a 10% damage increase.

Congratulations! And yes, that seems to be the trend. I know that once I cap on mythology gear, it'll start pouring DRG gear from coil. I can see it now. o_o

Ha I thought this would have been the case for me, after next week can use the heros belt because of the heros bracelet recoving the accuracy lost from the darklight belt, but still full left side myth and no bard drops. Pretty much just going to learn to live without it, but is what it is.

You are a Monk, obviously you're going to make it seem like it's a lot easier than it is, which it isn't. I said at end game, at an optimum level, you are worrying about more than "2 positional" attacks. Having to worry about clipping Chaos Thrusts/Phlebs/Fractures, and putting them back on immediately. Making sure you don't use a FT when HT is going to be dropping. When to use your cooldowns. When to jump. When to use TTT or IDC. When to apply Fracture? How to keep Phlebs and CT's up without losing DPS on a TTT combo? All this while dodging AoE and dealing with other boss mechanics.

The list goes on. I'd advise not jumping to conclusions on what is needed to play at an optimum level if you haven't done it.

You think a Monk doesn't need to do those or something? You're not a miracle worker for managing a few timers.

I have been gathering philosophy materials preparing for 2.1. Currently, my DRG looks like this.

You know after your story about not getting drops ;_; im so sorry <333 all my love for you and luck on drops soon.

No debating that they deserve a buff, in terms of the jump reduction. The dmg boost, however, not really needed since they already do beastly dps even if the rotation gets broken up. Still though the problem with most drgs is that the vast majority just are too lazy to combo, have no idea how to combo or would rather be spear chuckers and think they are bards.

Me neither... I was just commenting that I think they're harder to play than I thought.
I didn't knew their DPS was good though, I thought they were subpar compared to all other DD jobs.

Damn... that's badass as f**k. Screw Coil drops, one day my DRG job will have the full Wyrm set.
