Considering MNK can already get to haste cap pretty easily, I don't see those being all that popular.

5% in any one spot allows for a lot of gear movement. Isn't there a new ace's type helm for mnk?

That cape is better than Cuchulain's Mantle. Key reason, it has Store TP, which acts as pseudo-Haste (and we should be getting a bit more Store TP as we level up to 80 now). Both, however, are for when you need the Accuracy. When you don't, Forager's Mantle is still going to be your best choice unless 2 Store TP eliminates an attack round on your way to 100% TP, that is, if you habitually end up at 99% TP, you're in a position to use Belenos' Mantle in spite of less Attack and no STR.

Oh I know the cape is better than cuchulain's, however it doesn't have some of my other jobs that could use it like Cuchulain's does such as SAM PLD and eventually DRK when I get a chance to exp thanks to all the 80 madness.

There is, called Brisk Mask. There's also two new pairs of gloves that actually give Monk Haste there.

It remains to be seen what kinds of adjustments will be actually necessary for level 80. I wouldn't even bother trying to think ahead to 99 because, if this update is any indicator, all the gear we collect in the next couple months will be obsolete by Christmas. Thus far, though, I have not seen a lot to suggest that reducing 5 levels of level correction and adding 25 skill points will leave us as dependent on Accuracy as is presently the case. People seem to be having trouble finding much that is both IT at 75 and 76 and worth fighting. As we explore Walk of Echoes and Abyssea further, my opinion may change, but right now, it's highly unlikely I'd give up Usukane Sune-Ate for another pair of Footwork boots.

I don't think that those of us who love the job are going to let that fly. the only thing Footwork really has going for it is the Tp feed into the mob drops significantly. there is not enough reason to use it, thanks mostly to how it is handled. people do not seem to realize how strong our Monks are, because we don't shit 1k+ Gekkos. nevermind that we are essentially dual wielding axes at the speed of daggers, WS is the only thing that matters!

Not sure whether the OAT fix changed that, but pre-patch, Wargfang's OAT stacked with Footwork, allowing for massive damage from several Kicks in a row, and Kyoshu kyahan's huge bonuses to Accuracy, Attack and Kick damage made Footwork superior to regular punching, at least according to some testing done on Alla or BG, not sure which it was. I think the guy who made KParser tested it.

[Kyte]

Has anyone with Warfangs been able to test them?

OAT procs on both hands apparently.

[Tekni]

Either you have really nice TK gear or its boosted depending on buffs and mob defense. I didnt break 1k in the tree last night on 78 /36 dnc . I didnt do but 3 weaponskills before i went to bed though so idk. didnt have footwork boots on me either. those are some nice damage ranges on an IT

ANNND FUCKING BREAKING NEWS. PERFECT COUNTER HAS THIRD EYE TYPE THING WITH SEIGAN, DOESNT END AFTER 1 COUNTER SOMETIMES

or not. After more testing i think that perfect counter procs AFTER a normal counter and that enabled two counters.

Also TK to gekko makes frag. Not sure if it closes light yet.
ok it doesnt, But has anyone tested if its AoE or not yet? Seriously looks that way. good damage genereally too, even without super gear swaps, im doing 800s in mamools at nyzul at 76 sync

Definitely not AoE, two mobs only hit one.

About the tk to gekko frag, sam in my party saying its like yuki so the yuki gorget might work with it.

I have however noticed very large SC damage amounts from this weaponskill, normally 200-300 on mamools, im doing 500-600s

Honestly, that's awesome. It looks likes they're using a variation on the new coding they gave Unlimited Shot an update or two ago.

[Tekni]

I love the new ja actually. im just running around dunebooting with semi decent gear. 1418 @300% is my highest at mamools at 76. avg is 1k
And ding. 80

Also the new blue spell corrosive ooze is apparently insane. Large debuff of Attack and defense on enemies. thf in my LS doing 1800 ws and 3.6k SC in tav meadows

And total fail. KRT still sucks. spartaois EM at 80, hatis are DC.

[pathwriter]

Um... duh? They didn't change anything about King Ranperre's Tomb, we knew those mob's levels ages ago, and there's a very good reason why no one has merited there in years.

[Appie]

They are saving KRT to adjust as lv99 camp. We can hope! =D
Seriously though, what is SE gonna do? They need to up more zones, can't up some they did this patch or we won't have as much lv80 camps anymore.
