good set and I am working towards that myself, but it doesnt happen overnight lol..... I have had a mnk of that calibur once before so I know how big of an improvement to look forward too, he was 3/5 usu though missing body and head, so a mix and match but still i can get the idea of full usu having multiple friends with it that look identical to you.

if it help you to think these h2h arent "wasted" just know that I am after BB lol.. but until one of my T4's znm drop something theres no way to even buy it as im broke atm from sch (spending 4m broke the bank). I will ks99 my beard for sure, as stated im 0/9 and fed kinda pissed. the tounge/egg ill be trying to lowman off nqs, but honestly they are botted to hell here day1's even. And while doing so if i have the gil and its not the ls i hate then i could probably buy it at a reasonable price. All due time.

I have no doubt that you'll eventually rock them out hard core. But I just found it funny, because the average person doesn't start with Shenlong's and then upgrade everything else. Shen's are usually a last part upgrade of a persons gear. Don't get me wrong, congrats on your h2h, but for the time being, they cry.

Gratz on your h2h still. I'm not dogging you for the accomplishment, you just got your accomplishments in a really backwards way. If you don't like my comment, ignore it.
http://www.ffxiah.co...64136#item_sets since you were interested.

Edit: That and I'm working towards Spharai, so don't really care about the Shen's personally.

No one gives a shit that you spent a lot of time getting that armor. Has it ever occured to you that maybe Azagarth has spent a lot of time towards his gear too, but has not been as lucky or as fortunate as others in obtaining armor? Just because his armor isn't on par with those hardcore gamers does not mean he should be excluded from lotting Shenlongs. That's like telling a RDM they cannot lot Duelist's Chapeau because they still have 3 NQ staves and no enfeebling torque, or telling a MNK they cannot lot Usukane pieces in Salvage because they lack a blackbelt.


I know for a fact that you did not ding into perfect gear on MNK. Stop acting like everyone dings into 5/5 usukane, black belt, full merits, et cetra, because in reality they don't.

azagarth1 congrats on the H2H.
As for the armor debate it's pointless [ http://www.ffxiah.co...64136#item_setsmonk's ] get about as much action as [ http://www.ffxiah.co...ts.php?id=26843 ], except for Salvage whoring my Monk sits in ah

Wait, what/ You're saying you don't give a shit about his gear, but he's supposed to give a shit about X person's gear/ Just pointing out the hypocrisy, continue.

Of course everyone upgrades their gear gradually. Shenlong's just aren't the place where the upgrades start for like 99% of the Mnk player base. How you know for a fact that I didn't ding into my Mnk gear? What if I had another job I obtained my Mnk gear on so it was ready when it was 75? I've known many people that have dinged into perfect gear.

[azagarth1]

well besides BB what other mnk item gives you such a large upgrade?

I think these are 2nd most damage increasing item that mnk can get that I didn't have..... With that said maybe I did it smart and am getting the top performance boosters first THEN working on small upgrades like tipha>black, pcc>faith, Minuet>hollow, Sniper>tor, Am+1>cuch. All which i Plan too along with usu. I think I went and did it the smart way personally, I got one of the largest boosts for mnk and it can only improve as my gear does also. I am happy and Would rather have had these then full usu, which is why ive been working hard on znms and not salvage ;D

Your MNK was 75 when you got Usukane Haramaki. Just one example I dug up that was recent.

Edit:

And Blackbelt.

Black Tathlum..

Again, as I've said before, not everyone dings into perfect gear for any job. Everyone has improvements somewhere. (With the exception of like, Minidragon and Wopa, but even they had minute improvements to make)

No, I was pointing out the fact that he has nearly perfect gear, thus implying that he should've gotten Shenlong's before Aza. If one cannot congratulate someone, on a piece of equipment that takes hours of work to obtain, then they should kindly GTFO.

Wow thats funny about BM..... Seeing as when he got his black belt the only thing his mnk gots over mine pre shens was his feet, usu head isnt as good as wala unless your accs something int the mid 80s, which with pizza it shouldent be ever, meaning its nearly pointless (confused mnk ;D). Our bodies are pretty much equal, mine now with higher dmg rating uses the str more too (meaning it may actually be best body pre usu for mnk with shens, i cant remember who did that math but they pointed out that each body can beat the other in certain situations, reason ive chose to ignore shura body), I am just floored tbh.... you paid 4m on usu head before you got BB, thats messed up prios if you ask me and yet you had the balls to jump on my ass lmao.... about a FREE item. ffs that the funniest shit,..... The only thing you really had over me is 1 dex ine ar slot, 4 attack in trade of 1 acc in ring, and 1 str on back...... ys so basically 4 attack 1 str... ill give you the extra .5 acc since i use diablos alot. if you think 4 attack 1 str makes you that much better then me (not counting usu feet) you need go take a look in the mirror and understand theres a point where its stupid to talk down to people b/c of that.

oh and small correction to your comment to veg... It took countless months at easily 10-12 hrs a week of pic taking....... so technically days of work instead of hours haha, reason most dont go after PW.... 1/4 T4 trophy drop rates means most advid hnmls can only gather a pop set every 2-3 months with diligent work. And then the fact it takes 40-60 ppl and countless hours of work and explanation and planning... ya..... each pw pop is literally hundreds of hours of work, farming zeni, poping t1-4s, each 4x min on the avg for trophy, and then getting a time that enough will be on.

[BlackMoomba]

Everyone starts somewhere. If you really wanna look into my history Sakka, dig deeper in KI back when I was getting verbally abused by Zektar. I was one of the gimpest shits you'd ever see. People bitched at me for it and I stopped posting til I was able to come back and prove I wasn't gimp anymore. I've been in this situation, everyone has.

Anyways, enjoy your new h2h Make em shine someday.

Edit: Miss the old Mnk Mafia days.

I used to mnk mafia like a mofo on a bitch real quick two times

Oh he had improvements to make. Had great gear, but some of it was "wait, what is he using that for?" I only played with him for a couple random things, but he wasn't the best player ever, that's for sure. Definitely above the average player, but he just had a ton of people following him around, so you can get anything in that situation given some talent in your crew.

Either way, grats to you Az. I really wish you could talk to my PUP friend on Pandy though, he's one of those guys that's just flat insane with the job, and he's mentored a few others to being pretty damn good themselves.


And goddamn, I want my Mafia back. Team Sexy will suffice if that can't happen though.

Ya i love pup its very cool job, but its to demanding to play lol.... so busy if you play it right. best way i can describe it is dual boxing 24/7.... gets tiring after awhile and for lackluster results over easier no brainer jobs XD...
I consider myself one of if not the best pup on server... i know ego there, but i lved it as first job on this char w/o any help or friends on bis to get me going. Farmed all my attachments pre 40 and geared myself well the whole way.

If you notice my pup for being a pup is very well geared... and thats because everything i go after is for pup first. Thus when i went after shens was more for purpose of my pup, and it was clear these are thier best h2h, however i never gave thought to mnk to much and just assumed they where good, until my friend told me otherwise. Now after playing with them i can easily say they rock and wipe destroyers lol.... but i cant convince my mnk main friend still.

Yea he's much easier to do now that someone figured out the 4.3 distance thing. Walking out of range of the quadrastrike is cheating yo.
