Does anyone know if Avatar tier IV spells can trigger yellow/lime stagger? I'm inclined to say no, but never actually tested it. Just recently occurred to me.

I could be wrong but I don't think the avatar version works but the Elemental one does. GL getting it to time it properly though.

MNK merits and gear sets?

I assume Kicks + Counter for T1?

Yes, Kick Attacks and Counter for Tier 1. Tier 2, 5/5 Penance at least unlock Formless Strikes and spend the rest on what you feel like spending them on.

What's the best quest in A-Altepa to spam in order to unlock Brygid Strikes Back?

I think you want to wait for changes on hasso and new sTP trait because that can pretty much change everything depending on the activation rate of zanshin and its cooperation with Ikichoten.
New sTP tier itself let you drop tactical mantle for Atheling which change a lot in those 5 vs 6 calculations made few weeks ago. Seriously it's not even worth planning anything at this point unless you trying to find a setup for 2 weeks.

I pretti much have all the gear for 5hit/6hit builds, and beyond. I just don't model things well, so I wanted to see some discussion and builds to give myself some idea. (Bullwhip vs Goading, Carb vs Curry Bun, etc...) I'm gonna shoot for a Masamune and play with the builds myself. By the time the next patch rolls around there will be new discussion and I can go from there~

I keep seeing people saying that Atma of Allure is worth using on whm, but I honestly can't see why. Wouldn't another refresh atma or rescuer be more useful? (Unless it's just "omg it looks like a whm atma")

Rescuer is garbage for WHM because 30 MND beats 10 CP when you can cap CP from gear and you will be hard pressed to get +30 MND out of those same slots. Rescuer is just "omg it looks like a whm atma".

When I'm with my full group, I only need +15 refresh from atmas and I have +7 from my idle set plus Light Arts and Sublimation (which I rarely need to use). Unless I'm hammering C5/6 nonstop, I never run out of MP. I've been duoing as WHM/THF + WAR/SAM and I've dropped my 2nd refresh atma for Dread. I still don't run out of MP. Orison Pantaloons +2 make all the difference in the world, and boy do I notice it when I forget to bring them or I'm forced to come out naked.

I use Allure because I don't have Savior yet. Allure isn't "good", but the -30 Enmity lets you stack on MND gear instead of -Enmity.

Gimping Thf/Dnc and Nin through abyssea. What are the bare essential dagger and katana weather trials I would need to do? I did get a couple of decent +6% crit hit damage + daggers from Grauberg dom ops, but I don't think they will hold up.

2.5 stacks of mangodio tusks will get you lvl 2 fame from that fang quest, taru in white robe near flux 1 gives it and dont have to zone.

Mnk Maat lv 70:

Sleep to 100% TP
Focus/Dodge
Chi Blast
Howling Fist #1
Icarus
Howling Fist #2
Hundred Fists (both of us)
VE#1

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I'm doing 1500-1600 damage to him and he's still alive after that how much HP does he have?

[tol]

chakra after the first vile to get you enough time to vile again? im not sure never fought maat mnk

[Rooney]

Counterstance. For some reason his dmg increase on you is completely negligible, but you'll be returning a large amount of his hits back to him. I tried it your way 2-3 times before I tried counterstance. The fight I did, didn't require any meds at all besides the sleep potions.

How should I use ACP body/MOG Cap with the following mains: DRG BLU SCH RDM MNK.

When he hits me its for 300+ with CS up. Though I guess if I'm dying anyways it can't hurt. When did you pop it?

When I did mnk maat I did CS + other JA buffs (plus food, regen drink, blink band etc) before engaging, didn't bother sleeping TP, and just went in with HF (use HF before engaging), WSing only when I had TP naturally. I'd lost before using a strat like yours, but won using CS + HF.

Awesome I just won doing this. Though I opened with a WS. Thanks for the tip!
