Mnk Hundred Fist Equipment

[Prep]

Kind of looking for the best setup in equipment for a mnk's 2hr. I was thinking something like this:

Main: Destroyers
Ammo: Tipha Sting
Head: Shura
Neck: Faith Torque
Earring: Etheral
Earring: Brutal?
Body: Shura
Hands: Melee
Ring: Rajas
Ring: Snips
Back: Foragers
Waist: BB
Legs: Byakko's? or Melee? (thinking byakkos for the dex)
Feet: ? usu ? melee if you dont have usu?

[Obev]

Don't use Black Belt for Hundred Fists. Get a Life Belt, since 7 STR doesn't do nearly as much as 10 Accuracy. Melee Hose, Strike Subligar, or Bahamut's Hose should give you more hits over time, as they'll add +5, +3, and +6 to your kick-rate. Haidate are nothing but a DEX/Acc piece for Hundred Fists, so more attacks should outweigh this. I'm still not sure what's best to wear on the feet, but if you're maxing Kick Attacks by equipping the appropriate legwear, Dune Boots should win out.

[Cream Soda]

Shura head's use on mnk, put on your mannequin. Either Ohat or Pahluwan head for HF. Rajas rly only if acc is 95% if not, stick with an Acc ring. The store TP should be pointless. With how fast you're attacking, highly doubtful you'll get the WS off before another round comes up. I also agree with the life belt, thats what I use. Now, looking at feet slot, what the hell were you thinking here to suggest melee gaiters over dune boots? >.>

[Shuemue]

Summed up nicely by the previous two posts, except I see a ? by brutal; it's a definite yes, you should wear it during HF

[Kimkytaru]

If we talk about the "best equip" i think what you put can have some correction.

Wouldnt Vishnu's Cesti do better in a Hundred fist equip since delay is 0 ?
Smart Grenade
Usukane Somen (dont like the HP - of Shura and the 2 str wont make a big difference)
Faith Torque
Fenrir Earring in the night / Ethereal in the day
Brutal Earring
Shura Togi +1
Bandomusha Kotes
Mars Ring
Ulthalam's Ring
Cerberus +1
Life
Usukane Hizayoroi
Usukane Sune-ate

That would be I think the best equip for Hundred fist, however it is absolutely not the best equip for Hundred Fist Soul Eater.

Stat for the set :

Str : +14
Dex : +7
Agi : +3
Acc : +59
Eva : +14
Atk : +104 (night : +109)

I think it's prety decent for a Hundred fist build. If you need more acc you could still swap Somen and rajas, but I would try without tho.

Edited : changed forager for Cerb +1 (always forgot about that one <.<) and Toreador by Mars.
Also added Ulthalam's Ring too.

[RKenshin]

I usually just switch into WS gear when I activate HF. It's a pretty good balance of Acc/Att by itself.

Although, being more anal I suppose a few things could be changed that would be more beneficial for HF?

It usually looks like:

Main: Destroyers
Ammo: Tiphia
Head: Optical
Neck: Faith
Ear1: Brutal
Ear2: Merman's
Body: Shura
Hands: Ochui or Usukane
Ring1: Rajas
Ring2: Mars
Back: Cerb+1
Waist: Life
Legs: Usukane
Feet: Usukane

[Kimkytaru]

did some minor changed to my ideal setup since I had forgot some stuff.

Also I will take the opportunity to ask what are you using for Soul Eater Hundred Fist ?

I use :

Destoyers
Smart Grenade
Genbu Kabuto
Peacock Charm
Pigeon Earring +1
Cassie Earring
Scorpion Harness (body wont drop for me)
Melee Cyclas
Bloodbead Ring (once I'll have it )
Bomb Queen Ring
Gigant Mantle
Steppe Sash
Melee Hose
Melee Cyclas


Would it be better to use Vishnu's Cesti since 0 delay and some acc ? Or do you think critical + is more important ?

Oh, you'll want that +18 DMG and crit+ when you're swinging at maximum attack speed. Put on the Destroyers.

[BlackMoomba]

Wepon: Faith's
Ammo: Virtue Stones

More swings ftw, duh

[Cream Soda]

Well lets see, ideally:

Weapon: Spharai/Destroyers/Faiths (Faiths being situational)
Ammo: Tiphia/Smart grenade (Depending if feinted, my acc%, ect)
Head: Ohat/Pahluwan (Depending on my acc)
Neck: Faith Torque
Ears: Brutal/Merman's
Body: Togi+1/Usukane (Again situational based upon acc)
Rings: Mars's/Divisor/Toreador's (Added third option cause the likelyhood of getting the first is well u know)
Back: Cerberus+1
Waist: Life belt
Legs: Bahamut's Hose/Shura+1 (Another one based upon acc)
Feet: Dune boots/Usukane (With dune boots being the primary choice, especially if using Melee hose or bahamut's)

[Ichthyos]

Don't forget Hydra Tiara. My friend uses this when he Hundred Fists.

Yea, totally forgot that. Hands down best head piece for HF (Assuming you only use it once that day).

[Nagiwazushi]

The only time delay/haste will come in during HF is when you pop off a ws. where if you're going for dmg you'll want to ws. as for gear changes don't worry about gear swaps. Asuran Fists has only a 10% mod on str and vit with no tp bonus where dmg is concerned. Meaning as long as you can get consistant good/full returns when you hit 100% tp and can recover from the short delay it should be possible to actually out do just straight melee for a minute. I usually can get at least 3 AF off this way. maybe more if I'm using faiths. Anyway, here's kinda what I use along with some other ideas...

Weapon: Destroyers/Faith (faith is situational due to the extra tp you could be potentially feeding, tp gain will shoot up though.)
Range: Tiphia/Smart Grenade
Head: Usu head/P head/Ohat/D head. Usu prolly best for AF recovery with P head being 2nd.
Neck: Faith Torque, PCC works too
Earrings: Brutal, Ethereal, minuet, fenrirs etc.
Body: Shura Togi, Usu body, atk vs. store tp
Hands: Melee Gloves, O kote, B kote, Usu hands depending on where acc is needed
Rings: Uth ring, Mars, Rajas (I like for the store tp honestly), etc.
Back: Amemet +1, Foragers, Cerb
Waist: Black Belt (the haste helps a lot with AF recovery to not lose a couple seconds)
Legs: Shura, Byakkos, Melee, Usu, etc.
Feet: Usu, Dunes, P Feet, etc. I personally like usu feet better for the acc, atk, and store tp for AF.

all double attacks are counted in the tp gain at the start and don't accumulate per swing, prolly common knowledge but it'd make it easier to hit the AF macro.

don't bother boosting before ws. just wastes time

The only time delay/haste will come in during HF is when you pop off a ws.

Um, your delay doesn't reset when you weapon skill. The delay is normal WS/JA that happens, it's the exact same delay as if you activate an ability during HF. Haste never means anything during it.

[potatoninja]

Since I don't have anything to push kick attacks up anymore on the leg slot I usually swap in denali feet not quite as good as usu. ; ; They decent option and not exactly like its hard to get to floor 20 lol and yeah someone mentioned it earlier im usually lazy and just hit ws macro

[Amarok!]

Depends on mob I know, but should howling fist be used over asuran fists during HF in general? Someone once said the lower time gap howling fists puts into your HF is better than using the relatively long Asuran fists.

I don't use WS during HF... always when its over and the mob still alive ... Asuran Fists ftw!

the animation is shorter yea, that's probably what he meant when he told you. I haven't really used Howling Fist much myself but to me it seems like a more unreliable ws in terms of dmg. my only concern would be if the second or two gained would make up the dmg difference between the two ws.

[Serif]

Alternative to Usukane would be Denali Feet, not sure if Dune Boots would be better in HF situation though.

[RKenshin]

Should spam WS during HF, and it should be Asuran.
