Best Monk Set?

[Jahaudant]

With Twin Snake duration increased to 15 seconds you do not need 2s GCD to rotate between flank and rear. Since that was really the only remaining reason to add skill speed to your set I don't see why anyone would bother any more, unless I'm missing something?

If you're one of those monks that only attacks from the flank, then crit is weighted more heavily than if you don't (i.e., if you were doing it correctly).

I never stated I only dps'd from the side, i actually said i had 2.0 GCD so I could get both side and rear rotations in without losing Twin Snakes.

And yes with the increase in duration for Twin Snakes it will allow us to drop some skill speed which will be nice since then we can use more pieces with crit or det. I was just curious where people were getting info that determination is a good stat so I could decide which to go with. For now though I'll be dropping some skillspeed to get more crit until determination is proven as a useful stat.

It's good info, but none of it concrete info. Make of it what you want.

I meant that as a blanket statement to anyone reading, not at you specifically.

As for crit/det/str weight, there was a spreadsheet posted somewhere around here that showed 1 STR being worth more than 7 crit. That would imply that det is worth more than crit anywhere you could trade it at a 1:1 ratio. There aren't many pieces you can do that, since SE usually decides that anything with det on it has a reduced allotment from the standard stat budget for a given ilvl, but they are there.
