Monk BiS! Please help!

My current BiS. the massive drop in SS usefulness has caused our BiS to change drastically, meaning that currently, no one is really sure what's the overall best. And, as always, opinion will CONTINUE to play a huge factor. However, there is no denying that your biggest goal (after acc cap) should be to get a lot of DET

My proposed BiS Pre Turn 5. These sets are assuming you use the food provided.
First set is slightly better than the second.
(Note: You need 480ish Acc for the snakes during the Twintania fight, any other and you can cut a lot off.)

If he doesn't, I do.

Thank you for the link. This is a rather peculiar result, and I should like to replicate it. I know that FFXIV-APP is known to miss one in 60 (or was it 600?) reports. If that is the case and one was missed, your 101st reported hit would be at 328.44 seconds -- which was actually observed. I will do some testing over 30 minute to an hour and simply count the number of hits over that interval with and without skill speed. That should give me a more definitive answer.

Quick question, you claim this is a "pre-T5" build yet you include the bracelets of maiming, a turn 5 drop. Not sure if it's a typo but might wanna consider something else. A pre-turn 5 build should be items BEFORE turn 5 right? Or am I wrong.

Hmm. . .true, but I visually observed the first attack land between the 1 and 2 second mark, which throws everything off. I do agree that a longer test would quell any doubts, though. I was just doing that one during my lunch break. >_>

This is what I came up with.

ffxiv.ariyala.com

[Gamemako]

time: 30m
hits: 531
skill speed: 435
list delay: 3.36
recorded delay: 3.390

time: 14m (the thing reset on me at around 20m, but whatever)
hits: 248
skill speed: 341
list delay: 3.36
recorded delay: 3.387

Conclusion: Autoattacks unaffected by skill speed.

(Unsure if I should report this as a bug, because spell speed is necessarily more powerful than skill speed.)

So, what are the stat weights now? Pre 2.1 I read everywhere it was STR > ACC Cap > SS 481 > CRIT > STR > Vit

I can't give you mathematical stat weights, but these are IMO the order of importance for MNK:

STR > ACC cap > DET > CHR > SS

DET is so high because it affects AAs the most (a huge chunk of our DPS), and it stacks so well with all the criticals we get from Internal Release and guaranteed Bootshine crit.

I agree, I also value diet more than frit but not to the point where it should be ignored. Thus here is what came up with. May not be the absolute ideal gear, however feel this is what will be aiming for going forward. Any input on this?
