every single BiS list for Monk. I keep seeing High Allagan Boots over the Gloam boots as BiS.

All the BiS list I've seen listed Gloam over High Allagan. 12 det is slightly better than 18 crit.

Maybe I just got unlucky with the ones I saw, Thanks for the response.

The Gloam Boots used to have a typo in the stats. Prior to them fixing the text people were leaning towards to the HA boots during this time. I'm guessing you just saw some old BiS lists from before this fix.

Hey guys, I have a question I hope someone can help with.

I have the Hellish Claws and I've just completed my first book on my Sphairai Atma. When should I replace the claws? I'm working on my 2nd book now and soon my relic should have 35 Str.

Does the +4 str (2 books) on the relic outweigh the +26 det on the claws?

I'm a bit acc starved atm so I still need to use my relic in coil, but other than that I've been using the claws.

Thanks.

Considered getting Wave Patas to tide you over until your animus?

I haven't done Levi Ex yet... but I guess I could try and ask my FC for help with that. Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm wondering about something :

Monk is my main class and i'm pretty sure to play it perfectly or near perfectly, however my dps has always been lesser than what other people parse with their monks. On T8 I have an average of only 400 with ilvl 106 if I'm not bound (i'm however in charge of the link and the brainjack). I parsed 410 on a Dummy and I realised that my character isn't doing all the auto attacks, since I'm playing on Legacy mode (to avoid the back pedaling).

I'm considering using the left and right strafe on legacy mode instead of turn left/right key (my english isn't perfect so I hope this will help you understand what I mean) : .

what is WASD on your keyboard is ZQSD for me, french keyboards, please don't mind it .
The problem is that when i hit both S and A or D my character start back pedaling again and I hate that.

So basically, do you think should I try to get used to it or do you know any other way to solve my problem ? Thanks in advance.

I'm jelly. 106 is insain lvl for monk at this time. 410 with dummy with ilvl 110 sold weap is awesome, but that video on YouTube of " 400 DPS monk", set the standard. And that cat was at the time like ilvl 95. No1 cares he spent a week and 2 stacks of x-pot str to get best results. But, he did it.

To answer your question, apparently your kb works just fine. Keep up the good work brother monk.

I'd say the main issue here is that you're in charge of the Link and Brainjack, most groups have a Bard or offtank do that as it's a huge DPS loss for a monk.
When you're parsing on a dummy are you in a group and if so do you use buff food on the dummy? It makes a huge difference.

[Livaille]

Thanks for the answers.

Do you think 400 dps on T8 is a good number if i'm doing the brainjack ? I am at 415 during the 1rst phase but I'm not sure.
@Atreides yes, I was using Buttons in a Blanket HQ.
