Patch 3.2 - Too much skillspeed in monk's gear

[ZerofraZ]

In current patch 3.2 there is a lot of skillspeed in monk's gear, with little GCD monk is loosing TP very fast and, the class becomes almost unplayable. SE, you should change bonuses in 230 and 240 gear and make less SS in it. Please, watch this video (not my video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSXq...ature=youtu.be ,than check this set, which I've made as BIS http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TCBA - to have necessary accuracy for Savage 8 and as less SS as possible. Even in this set we get 766 SS. Do you know what GCD will be with such amount of SS? 2.35sec. It is too much for monk and Purification will never save monk from being drying out on TP. Only Gaod of ninja and TP song from Mech or bard can solve the problem in a slight way. But with Selena's buff and (or) Astrologian buff monk will dry out in any way. Thank you

ayy thats why we got two tp restore skills lol

As much as I dislike all this skill speed, you should just use purification to keep up your TP.

Impossible to reach 3rd invig even with purification meaning that in any fight where the MNK has 100% uptime they will run out after around 4 1/2 minute. From what I understand based on how groups do the mechanics A7S is such a fight.

Dude let all of his TP drop then used invigorate lol that's a no no. You wanna pop it at half TP that way invigorate is almost back before you reach 0.

Or he purposely used it wrong for the sake of his "funny" video ehh.

It is not my video and I agree, that on this video Invigorate was used too late- must be used on 550-600 TP. But in any way the proper usage of Invigorate will not safe monk. As for me- with my 2.39 SS right now I cant damage dummy for 3 minutes, because my TP will dry out. Yes, I can use Purification, but this will not help- I will not pass DPS check without The Forbidden chakra

For the record re: that set -
9 Crit is NOT better than 12 Det. (Midan Gloves)
681 Acc is NOT enough for A8S.
The stat weight on the 240 fists does not equate to the 12 effective STR gained in Weapon Damage with the 245.

Doesn't have nearly as much Crit as your set gets, but meh? I don't care enough to look for a better set, but this one's already down to 675 sks. There's definitely a lot on MNK gear this patch - I hadn't even noticed how much - but I think the bigger issue is that they have quite literally zero crit/det pieces in their entire selection. Everything is either Acc OR Sks - very rarely do the two stats overlap. If you go min Sks, your Acc flies through the roof (900+) and if you go min Acc, your Sks flies through the roof (950+).

Ok, maybe my set is not ideal (yes, Ive made a mistake with the weapon). Your link on another set has little amount of crit, that is why SS in not too high, det is high. About accuracy cap- maybe Im wrong. But you have noticed serious problem- stats overlap. You will have or a lot of accuracy or a lot of SS. And it is NOT good
It is not possible to create a good balanced set with 2,43 or 2,41 GCD

Ever think the speed might help you keep GL in savage and extreme?

Extra Skill Speed isn't going to save you from 10-20s downtime for Boost.
Extra Skill Speed isn't going to save you from dashing around the field to hit orbs during Brawler.
Extra Skill Speed isn't going to save you from quarantines in A7S
Extra Skill Speed isn't going to save you from the spreading mechanics in the final phases of A8S when the boss isn't targetable.

Every other point in each of those fights is essentially a striking dummy. Skill Speed doesn't help you maintain GL3 while standing still punching a wall.
