MNK endgame gear?

[Aidir]

I'm looking for tips of gear for armor to wear at endgame better than the AF. Currently I'm wearing the Flame Sergeant's Tabard and working on getting Flame Sergeant's Hose. Any other good pieces of equipment I should know about?

I use:
Ifrit's Claws
Temple Gloves
Darklight Caligae
Darklight Eyepatch
Darklight Corslet
Felt Trousers 2x meld 13 str 15 vit
Boarskin Belt 1x melt 13 crit
Explorer earing
Electrum Gorget +1
Rubellite Bracelets +1
2x Rubellite Ring +1

I parse 100-110dps on MM with all abilities on cooldown using this set.
(this is from our under 17 min AV runs where I change to monk after we spawn MM)

Why Ifrit over Garuda?

I change from bard after Mistress pops, and all WS are on cool down, so most of my damage is from auto attack.

^ Don't pay attention to what she said. It's all extremely rare gear that you have to give your life up just to get.

Anything that boosts a MNK's primary stats (INT and STR) and gives attack power, crit attack power, etc is good.

Rainmaker's Tunic
Felt Khecks
Felt Trousers
Fingerless raptorskin gloves of slaying
Caligea
...You get the picture lol. Just if you use crafted gear, apply some materia. And the gear from the Grand Company's is really good for what it's worth and the extra stats you get. Plus the new GC weapons we will be getting next patch will be almost just as good as primal weapons.

Holy balls! 100-110 DPS in a Corslet? You're making me ashamed to be a monk. I pull 120 in sub-par gear.


...

What DeadRiser said is pretty solid advice. Aim to get STR around 350, and INT 310 then go Attk/Crit Attk. where able.

Legs/Gloves are easy places to stack STR materias, and head is probably your best source of INT (AF head is a pretty good piece there, TBH) for entry into endgame.

Pick up a pair of Flame Sergeant's Patas, providing you can keep Sanction up, they're better then Ifrits and will activate the (3) set bonus on your body, which is pretty nice for UD.

You missed something. lol
When I engage Mistress I have ALL abilities on cool down, because I swap from bard after she spawns.

I like how people are told to ignore the best gear because it's rare.

Kinda funny isn't it?

This is what you wrote. You basically called him no lifers for having darklight pieces. That statement is very ignorant and dumb.

Also to stay on thread, OP you may want to work on stuff like below if you thinks Darklight Pieces are not worth the effort (they are still one of the best though),

Double/Triple STR gloves,
Double STR Legs,
Double/Triple Crit attack body piece,
AF head is decent i guess, INT doesn't do all that much but double/triple INT you can strive for it but definitely in the lowest priority,
Not much choice in feet, AF feet is ok until you get Darklight Caligae.

No, but it's fact that you have to spend every minute you can farming the dungeons for a retarded drop rate... So in essense I did say he had no life. But it's the truth and y'all know it lol. Just because I don't have the stupid rare equipment doesn't make me poorly geared.

Every time you say "he has no life" it just makes you look even more retarded than you currently are. I go to college and work full time as well. That doesn't mean he doesn't do anything outside of the game as well. Stop being an idiot and automatically assuming just because someone has darklight means they have no life.

On second thought, keep doing it. It makes me giggle when people like you think you know everything.
