Best Monk Set?

[EasymodeX]

Thats true to some extent, but the returns on skill speed just don't make it viable. 100 skill speed will give you 4% haste whereas 100 crit will give more than 8% critical chance. (also TP starvation is a thing in coil)

100 crit will give less than 8%. Current formulas have it at 6.9% unless there's been significant testing recently post-valk's. In addition, Monks have a good baseline average crit due to Bootshine mechanics and a traited IR.

This is a set of gear, not a single piece. The program I wrote to generate this takes into account every permutation of gear choice and weighs them to determine the best set.

The question is what stat weights are being used. I have Excel with a solver function that can spit out similar results, but it goes back to how much modeling vs. simulation vs. "gut feeling" / bias there is with the stat weights. I use stat weights based on a rotation model / partial simulation.

There's also legitimate strategic considerations like TP drain re: SS, which may or may not matter depending on the fight (and which also is really a "breakpoint" function where SS less than a certain amount has a normal value, but SS above the "softcap" will have TP problems in long fights and therefore has low value ... actually I could probably model that softcap).


Sidenote: What the heck is with this "rank" concept? There's basically T5 BiS and T4 BiS. Everything else is irrelevant for identifying because it's based on your personal luck with gear acquisition, which is unique to each player.
