The Monk Temple

[theamato]

Unlike the Melee Cyclas, the Melee Gaskins actually are BiS... so it would make sense to spend that myth on the pants rather than the body...

There is currently no logical reason to buy a Melee Cyclas unless you find yourself in a position where you're really hurting for accuracy even after getting the Gaskins. Even then it's painful to watch.

that's the situation a lot of Monks will run into once they start getting Coil drops, though. Allagan armor doesn't provide Accuracy (chest piece aside) and only the Maiming accessories will help you.

it's the unfortunate result of all Monk accuracy being available only from 4 armor pieces for 3 slots (and 1 is a Turn 5 drop).
