Monk should be more rewarding

[AruTheUnicorn]

I don't know where you live but I believe a good guess would be Colorado because you are smoking something. Monks are the wow rogue of FFXIV. Triple damage from behind, health regen based on attack power, can attack with nearly no prep time, and getting aggro shedding like a sudtility rogue on World of Warcraft....I can tell you DRG don't get the "Phoenix Wright" you Monks get so I call this thread a whine and cheese post.

mm k..

On a more important note, I'd like to see a 50 MNK pls

monk.. AoE.. is good? HUH

Musketeer can I have it? This class should do blunt damage and get a Bard like boost from Monk.

That is the best suggestion so far, just give us a new class/job that can work with Blunt damage increase.

can you please tell me how exactly is a bullet going to do blunt damage?? it should clearly be piercing if anything

Same way Ifrit-Egi swings his claws and does blunt damage instead of slashing.

A bullet is blunt. If a bullet wasn't blunt, it'd just zip right through without doing a whole lot of damage. Getting shot with an arrow would cause more injury than a sharp bullet.

The reason it goes through you and your squishy bits is because of Physics overcoming your skin's ability to not separate .

Yeah but they might make the bullets with pointy surfaces thus being considered "piercing"

Blunt front means more surface contact. Pointy front means less. But most bullets land with so much kinetic energy that, unless they are full-metal-jacket "solids," they expand, mushroom, flatten, or explode (break up) regardless of their initial shape. Energy transfer is not the problem, but energy retention is.

Long, skinny, pointy bullets hit harder then blunt ones downrange because they sneak through the air instead of fighting it. Air might not seem like much of a threat against a bullet flying at 3,000 fps, but it is. Blunt bullets push air like Mac trucks. Spire point bullets slip through it like Formula One race cars.

Huge differences in trajectories and remaining energies between these two bullets, both .308 slugs weighing 150-grains, both launched at 3,000 fps and zeroed at 200 yards (B.C. means Ballistic Coefficient).

At 400 yards, the 150-grain Round Nose with a B.C. of .23 has a velocity of 1,576 feet, a 28-inch drop, a 27-inch drift/deflection, and 827 foot-pounds of energy.

At 400 yards, the 150-grain Spire Point with a B.C. of .44 has a velocity of 2,190 feet, a 20-inch drop, a 12-inch drift/deflection, and 1,598 foot-pounds of energy.

Dramatic differences, aren't they? Just changing nose shape from pointy to round increases drop by 8 inches and wind deflection by 15 inches at 400 yards. And the round-nose bullet loses almost twice as much energy as the spire point

So if I am a musketeer right now, I'd go with pointy ones than blunt for obvious reasons

I've got both class lvl 90(well..almost for the monk just miss the helmet) and i can tell it doesn't matter which one is the best beetween MNK and DRG.They're both pretty similar in term of damage,MNK having a strong sustained damage output while the DRG can put out a much stronger burst (the best in the game i think execpt for the BLM getting Fire III proc everytime).
They're both good for a party any high lvl content can use both of them.
Ofc,DRG can use his Disenbowel for the BRD and himself but seriously it's not like it will make a difference beetween the wipe and the victory.
I'm more of a DRG player but just in case i lvled both class and anyone who did the same will agree that both are REALLY ok for any kind of content.They do'nt need a adjustement or something.Just good players and good team comp.
