The Monk Temple

[AlphaDragoon]

I got my Allagan weapon on Monday, so happy. I feel I put in the work for that one since I had pink eye at the time and was playing with only one eye open. XD

Now if only the Cuirass and Trousers would drop I could have a full Allagan look for the Glamour stuff.

Hello everybody,

I discovered monk recently and I really like it. I am only a fresh 30 monk but I wanted to know a little about it and found this thread. It is however difficult to obtain some information as it is a really long thread. I was thinking of a new thread with the first messages being updated.

However, as stated, I am only a 30 lelvel monk and I don't know all the skills and also I don't really do maths or performing extensive in game tests. Moreover, I am french and my english may not be understandable. Is there anyone here that would help me to create this new thread by providing me with some information for example?

I just want to bring up the new items added:

Sphairai Atma / Pugilist's Arm / Item Level: 100 / Equipment Level: 50
Sphairai Animus / Pugilist's Arm / Item Level: 100 / Equipment Level: 50

Both Sphairai of the same item level. Maybe you have to choose which to upgrade to?
Interesting.

It's a good idea, we need a more consolidated set of information.
Ideally where the OP is kept up to date, but that poster for this thread hasn't posted in a while.
There's always people coming in to ask about rotations and tips but this thread is way too long to shift through for it.

Monk uses weapons. Biggest fallacy up here. =)

[DeviantFox]

The same reason that no war ever is fought with fists... but I'll let you continue RPing

Also Monk uses weapons. Biggest fallacy up there.

Ya, I think the live letter mentionned that you can choose which path it'll take. No idea if they can be switch back and forth though.
Though my guess would be that it involves redoing the quest to switch to the other version.



EDIT: some of the gear info are up in the xvi database site:
http://xivdb.com/?search/gloam <-- gerolt
http://xivdb.com/?search/saurian <-- crafted
http://xivdb.com/?search/fistfighter <-- that biker set

omg I knew my fav set would be a dungeon drop Q_Q

EDIT 2:
Our gerolt set looks is kinda heh. Totally gonna vanity the fistfighter set.

The Animus Versions are the better of the two new versions of relics. I guess you will need to get Atma first and then you can get Animus.


I Hope the Gloam Gear is the new Tome Set, Because that Body Piece is pretty nice.

Looks like the majority of MNK gear now has Skill Speed and Critical Hit. Hm...

From the stats alone, Allagan is high in speed and CRIT, while Gerolt is high in accuracy and DET.

Actually I think it's:
Atma
/
Zenith
\
Animus

But we'll see when the patch is live.
