No buffs at i190 with i200 weapon I'm hitting 1250 pretty easily, and buffed up getting 1300+ isn't very hard.

Yup. Monks are still very strong and I've never understood the complaints from other Monks about being low DPS. Dragoons and Monks are neck & neck.

Anyone else going for shoes+something else next week? I have the weapon, but my accuracy for frontal adds in places like A1S is too low(571). Food is too expensive.

EDIT: Ignore the above, the acc gain won't be much going from alexander gear...

totally solo, no food no pots no party buff im usually doing around 1270, give or take, on a dummy when i hit tp floor with i200 wep, granted i have 2x i210 accessories placing me at i193.

as much as i'de like to say otherwise, i have to agree with dervy here, dragoon and monk are prety much neck and neck in terms of dps. at least before we factor in raid dps contributions (disembowel, battle littany)

Could say drg is on the offensive side of raid utility while mnk is on the defensive side. Was trying to tell people before that my drg and my static's mnk go back and forth in dps, all things considered. Though we do sometimes wonder if one of us should switch to nin.

Edit: I could, since I have it 60, but we've already put a lot of time into our mnk&drg already with items... etc.

Updated and put Dervy's initial stat weights for monk and accuracy cap.

PS.
Sorry its taken this long to update the guide. RL stuff got in the way. My current static is also missing people so haven't gotten the chance to really get into savage apart from a few times with pugs. If anyone wants to add anything new in regards to tips and tricks in savage please post it and I will include it in the guide. But by the looks of it, its not much different from normal apart from of course having extra more mechanics added from the old ones.

Hmm, I must be doing something wrong. I switched to MNK from NIN, partially due to Mudra-bullshit-lag, partially because I was overall sick of it. I'm ilvl 188 (have the i200 wep) and I do a steady 1200 WITH food/pot/party buff (chocobo) on dummy.

I wasn't using fracture, because I'm not sure WHEN to use it. Makes me feel like shit considering there are videos and parses of MNK's doing similar DPS with like ilvl ~180-184. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Give us some more details and we can help narrow down where you're falling short.

Well, I'm using this: https://i.imgur.com/6XMaU17.png as a reference. That opener, not using fracture at all. Using all CD's and oGCD's when available (after opener). I'm starting to wonder if I'm maybe refreshing Demo/ToD wrong. They never fall off, I always try to refresh them in between 1-3 seconds left. Sometimes I do refresh Demo at 4-5. Could be too much skill-speed, but after two Snap Punches it feels like I have too much time before I'd "need" to refresh it (if that makes sense).

If all else fails I'll fraps myself and upload it.
