The Monk Temple Reborn

[alvisto]

I actually read through this thread opener's summary
I managed to get 490 on a dummy with food buff, shiva weapon and ilvl 123.

Wish to ask a few questions though
1. Read before that if Demo is still more than 5sec, dont overclip it.
2. Gear stat should i aim for more determination or more critical hit rate provided that i cap my accuracy.
3. Strength primary stat of ilvl 130 vs crated penta-meld ilvl 110 gear. I know there's a lot of discussion around about this, but i hope to refresh my presepctive and get some new opinion on it. ^^
4. What is the minimum skillspeed requirement to do a 5 GCD for a PB ?

Thanks <3

I have no skill speed on my gear at all and get in 5 gcd's.

So what do you guys think about the AF2 gear and the weapon?

First thing I thought when I saw it was that I thought the gear looked pretty good, not the best I've seen, but I'm happy with it... But the best thing of all was the weapon IMO, I hate all the "claws" for MNK in this game, and I was happy that they went with a more blunt weapon. I know there are spikes all over that thing, but I would still classify it as a blunt weapon kinda... It's like if you had brass knuckles with spikes on the end, it would still be brass knuckles, not claws.

From what I've heard so far though, people have different opinions on the gear (as with every jobs set so far), but I haven't heard anyone liking the weapons D: Am I the only one?

I don't particularly like any of the weapons except the PLD one. That one looks awesome.
As for the armor, I like the BRD one the most. Poor SCHs...yikes...

I know it's weird for claws to make a blunt punching sound when attacking, but aesthetically I actually like claws.

MNK definitely got one of the best AF2 and weapon combo. Nice to see some new knuckle designs as opposed to what they've been going with recently (claws abound). AF2 kinda reminds me of the current crafted/WoD set but I guess that's a bit on purpose.

Are...are you blind? You have UFOs for fists and the AF looks the same as WoD set yo! Mad disappoint.

Looks more like the Arachne set, and both are leagues above the WoD set. I'm glad we actually have fists this time instead of being Longclaw Mcgee for the umpteenth time.

Hey man, nothing wrong with having UFO fists.

I'm hoping we also get a rear WS move. Man I can't wait to see our new moves, Asuran fist anyone. GL 4 would be crazy.

How good (or bad) monks perform in pvp?
It's a good class to play in frontlines and other pvp modes?
