MNK 2hring - Which weapon? for which sub, situations...

[Tulia]

So hundred fists... I was thinking use the Faith jailer weapons on 2hr, or Destroyers... I always thought Faith was good but the lower damage sucks.. so maybe they are only good for certain sub/situations?

MNK/WAR - Use Destroyers?

MNK/DRK - Souleater : use Faith? (Need massiave cures from mages though)

I'm not even sure how I can parse which is better, since double attack procs with /war or Faith isn't entirely static..

[Tulun]

For maximizing Souleater, you want more hits overall; likely the Faith will net you more hits for the duration. But I'm sure someone will have number crunching to prove which one is better ^^

[miokomioko]

Vampiric Claws for the rare 1-2 hp drain. Yeah.

[Ichthyos]

For /DRK, Kclub?

[Starr]

Sub DRG and use Tropical Punches+1 8)

[miokomioko]

Boreas Cesti for the 100% proc Wind dmg. Especially useful against Puks.

From my experience :

For Dynamis Lord i like to sub nin and use destroyer, lots of time i eat a nasty aoe and /nin allow me to survive a terra slash so more chance to complete my Hundread Fist. I was /war only at first but realise fast that half the time i eat a nasty aoe who knock me far with gravity or kill me and end up never manage to do my hundread fist full 30sec.

For Kirin who never use physcal attack (few TP attack can be blinkable tough), i prefer /war for double attack berserk attack bonus, and again i prefer destroyer than faith, im a crit whore :wink:

I tryed /drk at KV and was really sad with my dommage, not THAT much more than without souleater (my base HP was 2300) and faith weapon, one asuran put me from 2K HP to like 800, i used Hundread fist with a whm and a rdm spam cure me and rlly my dmg was not rlly more than /war ; ;

[vegetaa]

I'd say Destroyers, because critical hits are a very good DoT enhancement, and Destroyers (unlocked) have a good dmg. I'm not a big fan of Faith because of their lower damage, but that's just me.

Overall : /WAR + Meat + Focus + Berserk + Warcry + Destroyers + Brutal Earring + Dune Boots + Minuet + Madrigal + Double Attack COR roll + Crit COR roll + Feint/Angon/Dia (whatever way they stack)...And if you really really want to push it, I think SMNs can give Enthunder with one of their BPs, not sure which.

Hundred fists is 45 seconds.

Personally on things like DL and other zerg types I like MNK/DRK w/Faith Bags... Just make sure a mage is cure bombing you and you'll do amazing damage with hundred fists/soul eater. And with MNK it's really easy to push upwards of 2500 HP.

[Tyche]

I always /WAR at DL. My /DRK sub isn't finished yet thuogh (24). Even then, with the low numbers we use (around 25-28 people) we like to keep the mages to a minimum. 2 WHM's tops. So maybe /DRK isn't a good option for me anyway. HP even as taru (albeit i hav fully meritted mantra) is more than enough to survive a slash and hopefully your mages cure you in time. Usually, i open with asurans then hit HF. It's usually dead before i get to icarus wing.

[Vaxx]

I use destroyers full time for HF.

/War for chainspell stunned things

/Nin for everything else

Edit: I'm a taru, and I never /drk. Being a mage I hate monks that go /drk. The mp/dmg ratio is too small imo. Extra whm's doing all the curing would be more useful on another job.

[Snowknight26]

For Kirin who never use physcal attack

It does use physical attacks.

[Linsivi]

For Kirin who never use physcal attack

It does use physical attacks.

[LinktheDeme]

For Kirin who never use physcal attack

It does use physical attacks.

It uses physical attacks just not often though

[Blackice]

Kirin does Physical TP moves but it does not melee. Cleared up

[aurik]

He melees occasionally.

[Lagunasa]

For DL i usually go /war for better dmg but i stack on acc and pop a meat sammich, i dont have Faith Bangers so I cant say anything bout them, but Destroyers are lyke...Destroyers

[Terrestrialrage]

Kirin melees, if u kite him u just wont notice cuz he'll TP on you before he gets in range to swing. Straight tank him, he'll swing a few times.

[Wizerd]

/DRK is annoying for mages, dumb for MNKs. You need like 3 WHM on you the entire HF to actually get good results without a high chance of dying.

Also definitely not worth losing the benefits of /WAR or /NIN through something like a Salvage or Dynamis run. If you try to use Souleater during the run, mages will just stop curing you and by boss time you'll be useless.
