The Monk Temple

[Mishaela]

BiS on paper based on secondary stats like det/ss/crit is not something I'm really concerning myself with. I just did some spreadsheet math based on what dropped on my first few coil runs (3 Maiming accessories) and went from there to make a gear plan. The main thing is balancing ACC. This is why I chose the Melee Circlet over Allagan Visor, as this puts me at 476 ACC (and then eat omlettes for acc+crit when needed). Also, it turned out that getting the "DRG" accessories was better in the long run for me, anyway, I think.

Like, Allagan Baghnaks are nice, but you will have to make up that accuracy loss somehow, which you can do with Melee pants or body, but chances are you're going to already have your Sphairai+1 long before you get to turn 5, much less clear it. Using Baghnaks+Melee Gaskins, for example, nets you similar accuracy and a lot more DET with a loss of SS, this is probably a worthwhile tradeoff but SS isn't *bad* for monk so the difference will be minimal. And I don't know about you, but if I'm going to drop 800+ myth on something after upgrading my Sphairai to +1 already, it's probably going to be for an alt job I don't already have several allagan pieces for that I'm serious about playing.

Ultimate BiS is something I might have another look at once my group can beat turn 5, but I'm being a little more realistic and incremental-conscious in my selection, so here's the gear set I'm shooting for (currently 7/12 on this set, missing pants, belt, ring, boots, body):
Sphairai +1
Melee Circlet
Allagan Cuirass of Striking
Allagan Gauntlets of Striking
Allagan Tassets of Striking
Allagan Trousers of Striking
Allagan Sollerets of Striking
Allagan Choker of Maiming
Allagan Earrings of Maiming
Allagan Bracelets of Striking
Allagan Ring of Maiming
Allagan Ring of Striking
