MNK+Sleep Attacks=LoL

[neira]

i guess my brain wasn't working when i decided to respec my crab like this but if any one else thinks about this be aware of the pro's and cons.

Crab: MNK/WAR, MNK Traits, Damage Resistance+15%, Damage Resistance Bonus, Sleep Attacks

Sleep Attacks and Dmg resist bonus arent fully leveled yet but i've noticed something funny about it. If you land ensleep on the first of your two hits at a mnk the second hit will wake the mob with no additional bonus damage. however if you sleep the mob with the second hit or the first strike sleeps the mob and the second misses and then land both of your attacks on the next round both attacks will be at bonus dmg (even if both crit). So its kind of a trade off, you have twice as many chances to sleep the mob, but only the second strick is actually worth anything.

On a bright note, stack the two damage resistance traits with with the Bonus only being at Lv.32 the amount of dmg my crab is taking is laughable. The fights are still long like any crab fight will be, but with the resitance and Scissor Guard he is only taking half the dmg that he deals per fist, and only ting that can be dispelled he can put right back up. This crab also seems fairly smart, be does bubble curtain against spike/enspell fighters wich suprisingly effective against it, knocks enblizzard from ~50dmg per hit to less than 10. But this is just an FYI to any one with mnk pets considering sleep attacks, its a trade off.

[EDIT] crab mnk's have an insane amount of health with mnk traits

Wow I never knew that. I knew that both hits would do 2x damage but not the other thing.

My crab had lvl50 Def bonus, lvl50 Damage Resistance with Phalanx.. it never lost. >.>

I have the same thing on my Mnk Tauri. I try and keep it meleeing til I can land a 2nd hit sleep, then I No mercy him and hopefully he ws for extra sleep dmg.

I just got defense bonus + hp regen innate on a King Artho plate.. that I'm probably going to turn it into a mnk/war. xD I was also thinking about dropping triple attack bonus and endispel on it for kicks, though no idea how that'd turn out, though I imagine I'll probably get forced to drop phalanx on it at some point. >.>;
