I am currently trying to finish up my TP build on my taru MNK, and I am not really interested in getting any kind of relic-class weapon... so the two weapons I am currently looking at are the DEX + (lightning) H2H or the STR + (fire) magian lvl 99 weapons... My crit hit rate is already + 13%, haste is at 23%... any opinions into which would be more beneficial would be nice... my gear acc + is about +35 or so as is.

I'm no MNK but I am pretty sure it is STR/attack H2H or go home.

Edit: don't waste money on fire geodes and just buy Brawny Adargas.

Just figured that I would also add that the main weaponskill i use is fully merited Shijin Spiral, which is DEX based and a 5-hit WS

Your best bet is to just get Brawny Adargas and work on Vere as you can.

Agreed with Tanag, get the Brawny and work on Vere when your able. Vere, aside from the chloris trial, are not that bad to get comparatively.

If you have time to build the Ursa Majors, you have time for Vere and there is no need to waste time/money on an inferior weapon when you could do the Vere with just a minor time difference.

Don't base your weapon soley on your main ws modifier, thats what macro gear is for and you will loose out on dps during the tp phase.

See this like once a week (or more) in one of the job threads. It's like we need a sticky in each one that says "EMPYREANS ARE NOT HARD!!!!" in big red letters.

Or maybe we just need someone to write a MNK guide!
