What exactly does Hundred Fists do?

[Shojin]

Retested /w Brown Belt + Fuma for 11% in eq. Also used Haste spell for the latter half of 100 fists. Even with Haste Spell + 11% in eq, attack speed wasn't changed.

That's usually what I figured, but thanks for this, had been wondering whether or not to replace O-hat + AF2 pants/Dune Boots combo for Turban + Byakko's/possibly Fumas.

Ran a simple test on my 47 MNK. Used Rep Signet Staff(Delay: 366), Fraps'd myself hitting some Goblin Furrier's near lowlands outpost. I only used a few data points, so account for margin of error~

(data)

1.583 * 60 = 95 Delay

It's likely just a coincidence, but I was thinking... might the delay be 100? 'Hundred Fists' would be an amusing pun then, hm? This might be how the 2hr got its name in development instead of any of the other billion ways to say "reallyfastattacking".

[Azuke]

I remember one of those discussions and the conclusion was.

Always use full ATT+ACC gear when Hundred Fisting since Haste won't help.

Nice to know if you're a Monk during a zerg.

[Max™]

But haidate would still be beneficial (acc+crits) unless you have Usu legs/Shura legs, more so for Mnk/Sam with a staff...

Man, I'm gonna have to get my Shinai and go Hundred fist some shit later, that should be hilarious as a taru.

It was discussed in the "meat vs sushi / WAR vs DRK vs MNK" thread.

Yeah, Shura is also a nice option for Hundred Fists. Although, if there is a bard singing Madrigal (which one of them should be for a MNK hundred fist zerg fight) then I've always preferred the AF2 pants/Dune boots combo, probably more noticable if you have capped Kick merits too. However I would like to try Usukane legs/Usukane feet combo too some time in the future (and a lot of luck in Salvage).

Oh, another quick question about Hundred Fists, excluding Spharai, which weapon would you think is better? I've seen a few monks use Faith h2h over Destroyers, and I've always been curious as to which would parse higher in a zerg fight. :bagel:

[Alleya]

So am I alone in thinking the optimal setup would be melee hose (+1 (*'-')) + dune boots for hundred fists? Seems like upping the number of kick attacks and giving them the damage boost would be the best way to get the most out of HF.

I've actually been using this setup for a while, though not on salvage bosses due to maybe needing to cast shadows.

[TB]

I think it was common sense that Haste gear doesn't affect Hundret Fists? >.>

Always HF in Acc+Attack gear.

Don't forget Bahamut's hose, +6 kicks

"Common sense" in this game is people usually just making assumptions without any testing.

I said it twice in this thread

Oh, my question earlier about Faith h2h or Destroyers for Hundred Fists zerg fights, LS is doing 2 bahamut v2 soon... So I'll parse the both there :rocl:

Use Destroyers. If you HF in Destroyers, you can Asuran Fists. If you HF in Faiths, I don't think the damage is worth the JA/WS delay after to continue attacking.

Also, Martial Arts will still be taken into account with HF, so if you test with Relic Knuckles, use the lowered delay.

I throw on Ohat/life belt and keep my usu legs on (dune boots are on anyway lol so can't exactly swap into those)

[Awoir]

AF2 legs and feet during Hundred fists, with DRK sub and souleater, duh.
