Beating that dummy haven't seemed to be too big of a problem for many jobs, but it doesn't seem to be that easy for MNK.

I've been playing MNK for a year now, and have never had a problem with DPS and doing a perfect rotation on a dummy is really simple, so can't really do anything different to get closer, not much closer at least.

Have SE put the requirement too high, considering we have crazy high SS ?

The SSS dummies are for how well you're going to do in a raid environment so i guess SE put MNKs DPS higher than most others simply due to how we don't have any utilities that increases party DPS and therefore need higher DPS to make up for it. This causes the gear requirement to be higher as well.

Quick question, working through a5s, does anyone save their b4b and IR for when he's shrunk down? Along with any other cd's?

I don't save any CDs. I just use them when they are up.

I got to 8% with i222

Should I bother with PB during the 5x Shock Therapies in A5S? I understand it's a burn phase, but shouldn't I be saving it for the add phase?

Save PB for when you lose gl due to boost. If you aren't losing it there then it would definitely be better to save for the add phase. You'll probably have tp issues doing that tho

Soo right now i have some really weird stats (740+ accuracy for example) and been thinking about fixing it with some crafted accessories. My question is how do they stack against the i230 lore and a5 i240 accessories.
Would it be worth it to get the crafted crit/det earrings or just wait for lore/drop because of higher strength?
Im currently working on A6 so i only have access to A5 loot

Ive just started playing Monk, got it to level 52 so far and i LOVE it!
