    Dune vs lolFuma on HF

    On HF, which would produce better dot? I've heard haste plays a big role in HF, but I also heard Dunes are best DoT piece. I'll be using FB on HF as well if that makes a difference in the choice.

    FB= Faith Baghnacks
    HF= Hundred Fists



    Yes, I know Dunes are best for TP, this question is only for HF.
    5/5 Kicks 8/8 h2h, meat, BB, etc

    I'm not a monk, but I think the Dune pumps would perform the best? HF puts you in like maximum haste mode so the +haste on the fumas would be useless.

    I say max haste in that if you're MNK/NIN and cast Utsu Ni for some strange reason you get the insane recast time of like 16 seconds.

    Im pretty sure they changed that, and hundred fists doesnt change recast timers anymore, right? I know they changed something regarding recasts and hundred fists a long while back..

    Since more damage on kick attacks beat a pissy 3% haste over the course of a 50 second or less merit party fight?

    Always. +50(or whatever the exact number is) to your kicks beats the hell out of 3% haste.

    MNK is one of my lower jobs so I may be misunderstanding how HF works, but haste definitely seems pointless.

    I just sub in my WS gear for HF. I don't think you can attack any faster so haste seems worthless.

    ya HF caps attack speed at 70%, doesn't change if you have haste/march/haste gear on. And dune boots are way better than fumas for tp

    HF used to affect recast timers but they nerfed that.

    I had 75% in mind, but that's pretty close
    Using a haste setup during HF is a waste of DoT, since it will make you hit 5-6 hits more in the length of HF, but you will lose too much on the dmg of each hit. Your HF gear should be very close (mine is identical, can list it if you want) to your TP gear.

    Fuma is worthless for a MNK. Especially when OP says he has 5/5 kick attacks merits >< Perhaps Fuma is ok for soloing, but I think I still prefer Dune Boots, or even AF2 feet for the HP and Guard Skill it gives.

    Yeah my MNK is only 52 but I coulda sworn that Hundred Fists was max haste anyways, thereby making it pointless to swap in haste gear.

    Edit: I'd say the only thing that Fuma are good for on a MNK is Utsusemi recast, that's about it.
