    Miss kitten, let's have a deeper look on the weapons:
    Garuda's Talons -
    Wind Resistance+15
    Accuracy+25
    Critical Hit Attack Power+40
    Chance to inflict wind damage

    Sphairai -
    MP+70
    Evasion+30
    Attack Power+60
    Refresh+5
    Increases Shoulder Tackle damage

    It has slightly higher DPS that most probably makes up for the increased wind damage, looses on accuracy and crit power, but gains evasion, refresh and +MP to maintain fists and a good deal more of attack power.
    Does that makes it more right? I wouldn't know i'm not a monk, but a straight DPS comparison is not a good idea.

    While you obviously shouldn't just take DPS into account, it doesn't matter because the bonus stats on any of the weapons really aren't that great. The best ones as far as I can tell are lance, bow, and staff, and even then the stat increase really isn't worth the time/effort and just in general calling something a relic and then giving it easily replaceable stats is pretty silly.

    As far as MNK goes: refresh/MP is nice but nothing to get excited about, ATK is okay, but it should be higher, and EVA is absolutely useless. The Shoulder Tackle bonus is also laughable.

    Pretty much ;/ I'm getting bow, which I think is the best one to get simply because of the song duration bonus, but honestly, -30 enmity? Right after they nerfted BRD? REALLY? WHEN AM I EVER
