MNK 4.0 Changes . . . I'm not a fan tbh

In order to get 1200-1300 are people melding or actually using skillspeed gear? I was under the impression that I should be maxing crit/dh/det (which are ~1620/1760/1100 currently)

I have almost 1100 on mine and I do just fine, I don't use any "new" opener I just adjusted my old one for the new skills though so it's probably not the best but w/e I don't care too much.

you don't really need to meld much to reach that numbers, me current skill speed is of 1293, and i haven't melded anything to reach that number, just don't avoid skill speed

the whole point to reach that number is to get a gcd of 2 s when you are under gl3, so you don't drop demolish before refreshing it at every 3 combos

anyway, me gear(currently) is this:

susano knukles(skill speed +184 direct hit + 263)
lost alagan headgear(critical hit +107 skill speed +153)
lost alagan coat(determination +249 direct hit +174)
ala mhigan fingerless gloves(critical hit +103 direct hit +148)
gentai obi of strikking(skill speed +79 direct hit +113)
lost alagan breeches(determination +249 skill speed +174)
lost alagan thigtboots(critical hit +153 determination+107)
genta earrings(critical hit +79 skill speed +113)
lakshmi's necklace(critical hit +79 skill speed +113)
genta brazalet(skill speed +113 direct hit +79)
lakshmi's ring(critical hit +79 direct hit +113)
genta ring(critical hit +113 determination +79)

at gl3 i get a gcd speed of 2.01 s whit that much skill speed

in me opinion, is a priority to reach around that numbers on skill speed before you prioritise the other sub-stats since monk is all about speed, and since rof make us hit slower....
