    lol, considering the other jobs Taku have to bring to the table. The chances he gets to test his taru war or mnk on HNM is very slim. We would have his Thf with assassin's armlet before those two jobs. Anyways it's kind of sad thought, as I really do want to see some numbers of what a Taru melee can accomplish on HNM >_>


    Anyways about Mnks, I only look a bit and didn't analysis it too much. BUT, I remember I saw our Mnk did some pretty high dmg with a SA + Dragon Kick on CoP Wyrm. It did at least as well as most other WS I saw. Perhaps he threw in some boosts also, I don't know how does Dragon Kick add up... I know it'll never reach the high damage of a Mighty Striked attack, but not counting that would it be pretty even?

    But, would a fully boosted SA'ed Dragon Kick be a good opener/closer for Light SC to bring in for Wyrms? Or my guess is probably better of just Chi Blasting? I'm not too well-versed in melee, so I don't totally know what I'm talking about. Hence why I ask ^^

    SA + Dragon kick as Mnk/Thf is better damage than chi blast if you know what you're doing (on CoP wyrms). As a mithra Mnk/Thf i can routinely do 1000-1100 dmg DK's with my highest being 1295 on Tiamat.


    As far as the race factor, it only affects early/mid game. As a mithra i have +61 Str with a base of 69(2 merit's) making for 130 Str. I don't care what race you are, Base str means nothing, it's your overall str that matters. I could get more if i used RSE1 feet, but i'm well over the STR cap for h2h anyway.

    Dragon kick defenitely has some potential... but then again so does Full swing

    btw, im fairly sure neither were with songs... and hes elvaan mnk, so maybe it does play a small factor

    I just realised that if you plan to level monk for endgame, you need to have a staff skill levelled. Which also made me realise that my staff is capped (thanks to PLD) so chi blasting as a monk shouldnt be a problem for me.

    Still...those brown belt items don't tempt me.

    If you have enough patience to even play this game in the first place, the only brown item that should be a "hassle" is the vine.

    staff skill has nothing to do with Chi blast, only boost's with/without AF gloves and MND.

    I don't believe in the so called MND*10 cap either, i've broken it many times.

    I remember in his live journal he wrote about every job in the game, and I think with mnk he said, "they do good dmg but require so much mp to maintain that they ruin the xp in any pt lvling up, and on top of that they can't skillchain for shit until 60."

    Then I see him lvling mnk and I lol'ed.
    Same.

    Then I rofled when I saw him exping in NQ amemet and AF body. Good for your average casual player, but for somebody leveling their 4th job and who is an elitist...no. Just no.

    You can only become an elitist after achieving something. What has mifaco achieved that would make him an elitist?

    Doing the same.
