The Monk Temple Reborn

How would that set stack up against this one? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OYFA
Loses 58 crit but gains 28 det. Wondering since our Internal Release boosts our crit so much anyway if the 28 det would be better.

Overall DPS should be roughly the same with that. There's only a 0.12 STR difference in favor of the set I posted. The one you posted might be a little more stable on dummies since you're trading crit for det, but I think with enough attacks factored in the difference is negligible. There a few different sets that are all within 1 effective STR of each other to fit how people want to gear.

In short, that set is basically just as good.
