    gear to aim for, minus the insulting each other

    that other thread is too chock full of arguing, so what should i aim for to reach caps off of this gear:
    af head
    ifrit claws
    storm serg tabard
    fingerless rap gloves of slaying / +16 str
    felt trousers / str dex +10
    af shoes
    rubelite ring x 2
    electrum gorget +25 attack
    storm sergeant earring
    veterans field belt

    i would prefer an "ok for now" set that just caps str, rather than an ungoldy hard to get best of the best list, as i dont have the time to devote to being garuda/darklight/3-4x meld monk

    You reach your caps by melding 2/3 materias on that gear.

    The only spot you can meld int is head/legs. Without getting triple melds or DL gear I don't think its possible to hit both str/int cap.

    Yes. That will work fine until you can get DL/Triple melds.

    Storm Sergeant (with Sanction) > Garuda > Ifrit > Storm Sergeant (without Sanction)

    Looking at your current gear, Garuda may be the superior choice due to ACC. Otherwise, you'll have to lose an accessory (neck or ring) for ACC.

    This is incorrect. The Ifrit base attack is 131 with 39.69 DPS. Storm Sergeants, even without sanction, are 132 with a 40.00 DPS. While the difference is small, the hooks still superior to the Ifrit claws.

    Also, I wouldn't say the GC gear is superior to Garuda claws, at all. The Garuda claws may have a lower base attack, but since most MNK damage comes from your weapon skills, that 41.07 DPS is more important. Along with having the ACC boost. You really shouldn't even need to put INT on your weapon, anyways.

    Flame lietenenat's jamadhars are quite amazing if you reach 5 pieces. Damage 137, dps 40,29, attack power+30 accuracy +20. they're quite superior to ifrit's claws, and pretty decent against garuda's
