You know both of your lists don't have a belt, right?

Looks correct. Going to make another list that excludes the Baghnakhs.

Wrists: Inferno

[ChinBin]

560 crit, not 544

[MomoOG]

I thought needed turn 5 accuracy is 482?

[ChinBin]

These stats assume you are using Hellish Claws.

You need 482 accuracy to hit the 3 small dragons at the start. To hit Twintania herself you should only need 472 (although my BRD hasn't reported any misses at 470).

I just made a stats comparison spreadsheet: Melee new gear stats

So it's nice to finally see a semi-serious monk thread. Now my only question is where are you guys getting your weights for SS/Det/Crit. The excel sheet that I have used definitely weighted Det as being the worst stat. Does ANYONE have any definitive proof that determination is our best/second best stat? Also there is no way that I would ever play a monk with such slow Skill Speed especially with the changes they are making to some of our skills.

Any monk worth his salt will get SS to 1.99/2.00 GCD so that you can do both side and back without losing damage buff from Twin Snakes and not losing your GL stacks as well as buildup to 3x That is why Skillspeed is more valuable in my opinion than crit or det. Right now I keep my skillspeed up to 1.99 GCD and then try to stack crit (because everywhere I've read crit is the better option and Det is garbage) while keeping accuracy capped. Now I wouldn't mind going Skillspeed (to 1.99 GCD), Det, Accuracy, If there was some definitive proof that Determination is actually useful. Anyone out there with some about Determination/Crit?
