@Kaos: Crit heavy? Not a fan of crit on mnk but switch visor for melee circlet , fracture isnt worth it. post patch legacy was meh for AA dmg if you didnt know how to use the camera right post lock on fix though its no big deal. just use lock on, lock off when you need to dodge. melee boots are also more crit focused than coil boots. heros slaying neck has more crit than maiming.

i still recommend det over crit though.

Crit heavy build is something like this someone else can ddouble check this im tired,

Allagan Baghnakhs

Melee Circlet

Allagan Cuirass of Striking
Allagan Gauntlet's of Striking
Allagan Tassets of Striking
Melee Gaskins(Allagan pants when acc isnt needed)
Melee boots
Hero Necklace of slaying
Allagan earrings of striking
Allagan maiming bracelets
Vortex ring of striking
allagan ring of striking


food: hq deviled eggs

again dont really recommend it but if you must.

The accuracy you have which is 461 is more than enough for all coil. Have you ever missed with that? I only have 458 and never missed.
As for the camera, I personally use Legacy and have no problem with it. It's kinda easier to dodge compared to the default settings.

And finally, I tested crit and det. Comparing both with ~100 gap. DET is worth more, it will increase your dmg.

Yeah i do like det as im aware it is a direct increase to damage we do. I stuck with Allagan feet purely for the det. Crit is nice and all but i dont crit all the time so i need to maintain damage also. The build you listed is the crit based BiS, what if you wanted a more balanced hybrid that combined both Crit and Det?

change for sollerets, maim earring, choker of maiming, both allagan rings, visor instead of circlet

For a more balanced BiS, this is the one I made http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/LRGE. You have a decent 500 crit with a high determination. It exists another gear set where you can have higher DET, but the crit rate lowers drastically and imo the det gained over the crit lost ain't worth it.

As for extremes I recommend this http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/LVF9 with HQ buttons.

lol that first one is the exact same one i came up with the changes i made after he asked. good stuff

[Duf]

Well... it would have made sense for the OP was updated with a digest of up to date practices and such - similar to the Dragoon Thread - but that hasn't happened. If anybody is up to the task, it may be worth migrating the discussion to a new thread with someone willing to maintain it.

It's something I considered doing (still consider now and then) but not sure about how much time I can put into it lol. If it isn't done soon, I'll probably get around to it though.

Would definitely appreciate this, thankfully I saw a post saying the latest patch started at 150, but restarting the thread with an active OP would be awesome, and I don't think there's a more qualified person, you certainly seem to know your stuff.

Having looked at both, im not really seeing much in difference. the primal one has less Crit by about 10 and 2 extra Det. Wouldnt the 10 crit amaount to 2 det? if it would then im obviously missing something here :/

[Misake]

It's because I didn't put the food on the primal one. Now click on both, make sure button in a blanket is checked et voila.

Thank , i see now you get almost 15 extra Det with the other option which makes sense considering they are smaller bursting fights with the chance of dropping GL being higher you want higher dps.

Thanks ^^
