The Monk Temple Reborn

[Ricdeau]

How much DPS should I be getting out of my i113 MNK?

On a dummy with out food, party or pots, I'm around 465. I just can't shake the feeling that I'm doing something wrong when my i111 DRG is putting out 460 (subbed Nexus for Diamond Spear in calculator) and my i113 NIN is doing 470.

I'm opening with PB - Demo - B4B - Snap - IR - Snap - Steel/Howling - DK/TS - Steel/Howling - DK/TS and following up with a refresh to Demo before using ToD.

Any suggestions or validation would be greatly appreciated.


EDIT: Gear Weights - MNK = 389.442, DRG = 401.814, NIN = 394.55. Should I just chalk it up to that and better optimize my MNK?

At your gear level with i115 weapon I was doing 490-500 depending on crit RNG over a ~4:20 parse (two invigorates until right when I run dry). I'll reiterate again the stat weights for monk were pre 2.4 and need to be updated, but it shouldn't result in any major shift. Ninja definitely appears pretty optimized since it was released well after the launch jobs (the class as a whole is very nicely designed for the most part), but I don't think the stat weights have been accurately accounted for just yet. Dragoons keep pretty on top of updating weights and theorycrafting. We've lost some of our major theorycrafters unfortunately so our weight info is not maintained as well.
