Monk BiS! Please help!

Skill speed doesn't affect Auto-attacks and DOTs which is a big chunk of MNK's DPS

Oh? It does not affect autoattack rate? Do you have the data on that?

If he doesn't, I do.

Note, however, that Greased Lightning is different and does affect AA speed.

Thank you for the link. This is a rather peculiar result, and I should like to replicate it. I know that FFXIV-APP is known to miss one in 60 (or was it 600?) reports. If that is the case and one was missed, your 101st reported hit would be at 328.44 seconds -- which was actually observed. I will do some testing over 30 minute to an hour and simply count the number of hits over that interval with and without skill speed. That should give me a more definitive answer.

Hmm. . .true, but I visually observed the first attack land between the 1 and 2 second mark, which throws everything off. I do agree that a longer test would quell any doubts, though. I was just doing that one during my lunch break. >_>

So, what are the stat weights now? Pre 2.1 I read everywhere it was STR > ACC Cap > SS 481 > CRIT > STR > Vit

I can't give you mathematical stat weights, but these are IMO the order of importance for MNK:

STR > ACC cap > DET > CHR > SS

DET is so high because it affects AAs the most (a huge chunk of our DPS), and it stacks so well with all the criticals we get from Internal Release and guaranteed Bootshine crit.

I agree, I also value diet more than frit but not to the point where it should be ignored. Thus here is what came up with. May not be the absolute ideal gear, however feel this is what will be aiming for going forward. Any input on this?
