Anyone use a Dex build? MNK seems like the perfect job for it.

Detroyers/BlackT
Turban/ancient/pixie/brutal
Osode/hachiryu/raja/thunder
Cmantle/BB/Bhaidate/Fuma

Sounds like a very potent build and maintains 25 in Haste. MNK seems like the perfect job for rune chopper type build because of BBs huge haste.

it works pretty well if you don't have full usu

Could probably swap Osode for Usukane Haramaki and Thunder Ring for Zilant Ring to change 2 STR 1 DEX, but an incredible amount of Acc+.

Of course this is a little extreme, it's still a possibility.

If you're talking colibri, dex build is sidegrade to full usu until you have enough dex cap crits while being able to use bkote. Another drawback is unless you plan on eating sushi, it's a focus up only build.

Also, usu shoes are always better than fuma unless you have SV double march, haste samba, haste, and capped acc.

I don't merit, the dex build would be used in Salvage where pizza is usable.

Well don't know their exact stats, so wouldn't know exactly what to use, but they're weak enough anyhow. ONly thing I don't see it being viable on would be higher end NMs, possibly gears, and mega boss

[Banter]

Honestly if you don't know the mob agi or can't get a really close idea, you're better off just using a regular build.

I can't see myself bothering. For one, actually getting to put a DEX build to use would require being fully unlocked, which might not happen until a full hour into the run. For another, I'd be shocked if the difference made was that substantial. Critical hits are damned nice, but most mobs in Salvage are so squishy that they should be exploding pretty rapidly regardless of whether you landed a few extra crits. It might shave off a few seconds here or there, but I doubt it'd make a meaningful difference in a run compared to using a more standard setup.

Very true and techically I should just go DRK every run but after 300+ runs on DRK its fun to go MNK! Mnk just gets so much dex from normal gear sets its fun to mess with stacking.

MNK is just hard rape on anything with favorable pdif you can get good acc on really. Throwing in a high crit% is icing.

Akira Toriayama's great, great grandkids can go to college off a single MNK forum's thread.

[pathwriter]

Ignoring that you spelled the man's name wrong, is that supposed to be some reference to the single Toriyama character used as someone's avatar for two posts?

Oh noes a typo!!!!
