I havn't
tried it but I dont really see a reason...
And here is why I say this:
Mnk(
lvl 30 ) gives you what at Level 60 if subbed??
Boost
Dodge
Focus
Martial Art
Counter
Max HP Boost
Martial Art
Martial Art
--
Ok, so, Martial arts bonuses? Worthless.
Counter Attack, Ok maybe
alright, but still not that great for DRG
Max HP Boost, Why? You aren't supposed to be
getting hit right?
Dodge - Again, you shouldn't be drawing hate if you know what you
are doing anyways, maybe for soloing, but whatever...
Focus - Now this is the only
thing from MNK that I see a use for. Increasing accuracy would be VERY useful for dragoon,
BUT, One good skill is Not a reason to sub Mnk. And you dont even get it til you are Level
50 Drg... so yeah.. You will be hurting until then, and it wont help much when you get it.
Boost - Meh, I have never liked this skill much, I can find much more use for
Berserk or Sneak Attack if I want more damage.
Those are some reasons why it
wouldn't be soo good. You would have more hitpoints than any other drg, but it wouldn't
do you any good. And the only skill you would have at your disposal is Focus.
Now
with a warrior, you get..
Provoke - Um, save your whm?
Berserk - Great boost to
attack, much better than mnks Boost crap
Defender - If you end up tanking for some
crazy reason
Double Attack - Great thing to have, especially with a slow weapon. Great
for your TP pool.
as well as
Defense Bonus
Resist Virus
Attack Bonus
With a thf you get...
Steal - How could this be a bad thing?
Sneak attack
- Very good with DRG WS
Flee - Um very useful skill for both farming/camping and saving
your ass
Trick Attack - Stick all that nasty hate you get from penta on the Paladin
Gil finder
Evasion Bonus
Theasure hunter
Resist Gravity
Evasion Bonus
Sorry for the Novel
Just my opinion.
If you would like to do a
Monk sub, thats fine, you would definitely be Unique
hehe.

I'd go
with about the same opinion, I did see a MNK/DRG once, that was just horrible. I'm not
saying Dragoon is a useless subjob, but it just didn't work for the person using it.
DRG/MNK may be ok for farming weaks since you would avoid some hits and be able to
go longer before your HP gets low, but that is about it. The most massive stats for MNK are
mainly HP and VIT and those aren't all that helpful since No Provoke means you won't be
tanking by any stretch of the imagination. Also since the main point of Dragoon ultimately
is the fact they can shep their hate then more HP and VIT isn't all that helpful in groups
.

well i
was thinking getting the extra hp would be good since humes dont have the greatest hp to
start.
but i think ive swayed myself from that idea and i kind of like the THF sub.
debating between THF and WHM subs.
mainly because its kind of geared more towards
helping lower levels with stuff (such as finding items or being the helpful WHM that comes
up and casts cure on you when you are almost dead just cause they are nice)
raise is a
great reason to be a WHM =)

be a whm then. u wont get raise as drg/whm til 50, unless u wanna do it just for that purpose =/. But yes mnk is definitely not a good sub for drg. As westa said, double attack and berserk will do great dmg, and sneak and trick + TH will do u good dmg and farming. war for better dmg overrall, thf for more dmg in a single hit. Your choice, but I'd definitely not even think about mnk. GL

Only reason u'd consider Mnk like every1 else has already said is Focus at lvl 50. Focus would be something you would use b4 u penta thats all i can think of since Penta's acc ain't to great on its own w/o a brd anyway. Other than that ya choose a different sub.
Alot of Samurai go with Rng sub for the acc bonus's does this apply well to Dragoon cause if it does that may be another choice.
