    Monk Post 2.2 Gear Progression Thread

    Currently looking at 2.1 the allegedly BiS for monk is as follows:

    Added Stats
    | +131 Acc | +209 Crit | +92 Det | +15 SS | +194 Vit

    Total
    489 Str| 472 Acc | 550 Crit | 294 Det | 356 Skill Speed | 396 Vit

    Weapon: Allagan Baghnakhs
    Head: Melee Circlet
    Body: Allagan Cuirass of Striking
    Hands: Allagan Gauntlets of Striking
    Belt: Allagan Tassets of Striking
    Legs: Melee Gaskin
    Feet: Allagan Sollerets of Striking
    Neck: Hero's Necklace of Slaying
    Earring: Tremor Earrings of Slaying
    Wrist: Inferno Bangle of Slaying
    Ring: Vortex Ring of Slaying
    Ring Allagan Ring Maiming
    Food: HQ Deviled Eggs

    The reason i go with this setup was that i prefer to go CRIT built as opposed to DET/SS build. This may not be the BiS for some but its one of the BiS with the maximum CRIT a gear can give
    There were no problems hitting 5 moves in PB even with a lowly 356 SS as the alleged 400 SS (Demo - Snap - Snap - DK - Snap)
    Did not record any misses in T5 even attacking from Front although people were saying Asclepius ACC cap is supposingly 482. Can someone confirm this?

    So here is my concern. I am currently sitting at 1k soldiery tomes with the above BiS. No problems hitting T6 and i believe there will be when my static starts going into T7.

    Therefore the most dreaded question. Where do is start gearing first. In 2.1, Zenith was the go to upgrade first before anything else follow by Body and gears on the left and then the accessories. So moving forward with soldiery tomes how do i go about gearing up my monk. Keeping in mind that i should be hitting ACC caps on coils.

    Note:
    I have all monk/dragoon/primal accessories if there is a need to swap to get ACC caps.

    Any pro monk willing to give some advise on this? Very much appreciated.

    Recommended Gear Progression With Soldiery Only:
    1) Weathered Gloam Brais (+4 Accuracy, +2 Determination, +6 Vitality) - 825 Soldiery
    Total
    Str 494 (+5)| Acc 476 (+4) | 550 Crit | 296 Det | 356 Skill Speed | 402 Vit

    2) Weathered Gloam Earrings(+12 Accuracy, +6 Critical, -11 Determination)
    Str 497 (+8)| Acc 476 (+16) | 550 Crit (+6) | 285 Det (-11) | 356 Skill Speed | 402 Vit

    Recommended Gear Progression with Soldiery + Coil:
    Will update once more info is gathered.
