2.2 is supposed to drop in "March," so 6 weeks could be accurate.

P.S. Between beginning my Coil career in PUGs, and running with a static, then building my own FC group, I've seen 34 Coil drops on my main character and have never received a single piece of Allagan loot. I feel that pain immensely.

Then there will come a night where you run coil and suddenly all turns drop MNK loot.










This night will be the first night of farming Turns 1-5 once the lockout has been removed.

What do people think about the new stat weights put forward by EasymodeX in this post?

Following those, you'd end up with BiS being:

The weird part about this is that he values skill speed almost as highly as crit. EasymodeX, how did you arrive at those numbers?

How's that strange? For Monk I'd value skill speed higher than crit, actually. Crit has diminishing returns and Skill Speed has increased returns, so the more of both you have, the better skill speed is. Combine with Infernal Release and Bootshine lessening crit's effect even more and it should be an obvious conclusion. The softcap I'd place at 2.00 on 3 greased lightning stacks because when you go lower than that, you lose dps while using skills that are off GCD.


Furthermore, I've noticed that with very low, minimal skill speed like in your sets, I actually cannot use 5 skills after Perfect Balance, at least while using non-GCD skills in between them. That's why in you post-T5 BiS list at least, I definitely would swap Hero's Necklace of Slaying with Allagan Choker of Striking and Allagan Tassets of Striking with Hero's Belt of Striking, giving you 32 more skill speed and 32 less crit. Probably can do similiar swaps all around, because I just don't see how crit could possibly be better than skill speed for monk. Bootshine takes approximately 1/6.666 of your GCDs so at least 15% of your crit for your skill damage is 100% wasted(or was it 1/6.333? Either way...).
