but really if you're gonna say mnk is useless because they are in HNM and ***, why even bother posting on something about mnk and pup? both are useless for those events

Wuts your point with this I know they get these, I had all these considered when I made the post. Both jobs are gonna be fairly equal tho imo just depends on gear and skill like I said. My point just was monk hasnt been killed is all.

Unless you do a salvage run and then log off ffxi, i dont see how it can be usefull.

Saves me time from having to lv mages to solo ***. Solo'd t1/2/3 ZNM today. While a mage can do it, quicker for me to do it as is now than lv another job gear it ect

I'll let you all discuss this, not wasting my breath trying to explain to people who are hardcore endgame

Well tbh I personally only do salvage now 3x a week as endgame but mnk is also decent for dynamis farms, einherjar I ended up tanking quite a bit as monk with TDG, some ZNM fights monk can tank, nyzul its decent, KSNMS, ISNMS, ENMS.
HNM isnt everything.

No, but if you're not capped w/ pizza+1 and other options (Usu legs, hachiryu legs) you shouldn't be using Asuran to begin with(hi2 howling), especially if you have 25 ws acc head. Haven't used my haidate in ages.

Only area I think a MNK would be uncapped without shura haidate +1 would be colibri pt, and that would only be if you didn't have focus up.
So I can agree with your statement concerning the use of Usu/Hachiryu legs in place of shura.

eh i get to go mnk to anything , if your mnk is good it will get in period. and im sorry to break it but subtle-blow + pennance = your mob never gets a damn tp move off you. go caps your merits on pennance and try it out. MNK can out do almost any job on a merit party ( even on brids been 2% below a sam or a drg is not shaby ;3) also remember mnk has to gimp it self with /NIN to beging with. every merited MNK/WAR? you laugh @ SAM/DRGs or DRG/SAMs whem comes to dmg. so like Yonnin for NIN, if you cry about Yonnin messing your acc is probably becouse you should not be playing NIN to beging with. MNK dont really need anything. A Pup needs a puppet to do its job. if the toy dies... the PUP becomes a gimpy gimped mnk. gear wise.. Blackbelt hello? not dissing PUPs just they DO need the update . we mnks dont.

Pup breaking 300 hand to hand skill and having an automaton while Monk is still stuck at 299. How balanced.

Those knuckles aren't the best thing to wear though so less than 300 skill will be better than 300 skill

Oh I think MNK got killed by the two handed patch way back when.. Now they are just situationally good DD's.
MNK is the only melee DD job I have, and it's pimped out very well but I still find it really difficult to put up numbers in a parse against other DD's in my LS, even those that are geared/merited much worse comparatively than I am. I've also seem some of the (supposedly) best geared MNK's on my server in action and.. maybe they just had a few bad fights.. but they failed to really impress..
They do tank pretty well though, and I think this is where SE should give them a boost.

Idk another good piece at 75 is chiv chain and it's lvl 60. I'd say your gear won't become obsolete if they don't implement gear that is rediculously superior to what already exists. So if there is gear that is similar to idk... askar, hauby, etc then you can still use your existing gear if you already have it.

First off, in terms of straight melee MNK will always be superior to a PUP simply because of Martial arts VI vs. Martial Arts III. Unless the MNK in question is vastly undergeared than said PUP. The only way a PUP ever beats MNK is with the Puppet...Not the Puppetmaster. Also, Stringing Pummel is good,but it doesnt beat Asuran Fists. Unless the MNK is complete Suck at WS gearing.

Don't feel bad.... It looks like they gonna F up Sam too. Thinking of lowering sekkenoki to lower level so it can be used on subs. Drakesbane x2. Every job gonna be able to solo skillchains now. The only thing I like thus far is the possible additions of new white magic.

lol sam was broken far before sekk, other jobs having it isn't gonna make much of a diff. Will help them catch up a bit.

LOL at all the people who say "mnks just don't put up good numbers". Run a parser and see the proof. While you'll almost never see high WS numbers on mnks, the DoT they put out is insane. Btw, is everyone forgetting that mnks get 3 additional martial arts traits over pup? What about Black Belt? That's 8% haste that pups will never see. This thread is pointless imho. Pup is generally used as a solo job.
as a main MNK, i wasn't too pleased with the announcements made at vanafest 2010. as many MNKs may know MNK doesn't get much when it comes to updates. a decent peace of gear here or there and lolfootworks is about as updated as it has gotten. in vanafest 2010 all jobs was noted to be getting rather decent or just outstanding updates. like PUP getting an A in H2H.. made me cry as a MNK knowing only martial arts and gear is the only thing that stands between PUP out damaging MNK with there fists. not to mention they have a beefy auto next to them spamming them with cure 5s and hitting with 1.5k weapons kills them self.
on top of that they insult MNK by giving them this for the update.
in return of TP gain and the ability to weapon skill.
ACC +, and subtle blows+... WTF! how useless is that, EXP pt wise. completely. most MNKs have NO problem with there accuracy. and subtle blows is just crap unless your soloing something you just don't want weapon skilling as often. and subtle blows barely even shows with no matter how much you have. so sucks there. endgame. the acc+ would be killer i can see. but still nobody is going to put a MNK in endgame PT to feed the mobs TP regardless of how much subtle blows they have. MNK is just unfortunately left out of endgame unless your lucky enough to get in a chi-blast group
sadly this slap to the face is rely disgusted me with SEs thoughts on MNK and makes me want to drop it entirely and just level SAM. at least most of my gear wont go to waste...
what is everyone elses thoughts on this?
