5/5 Formless and Penance. Invigorate merits are kinda useless since it's weaker than most regen spells.

Especially when you can also idle in 10hp/tick pretty easily, too.

5 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 25, but not really 25.

Missing a small fraction.
.4% haste isn't going to beat everything I get in return. I really don't understand why everyone gets *** for 26% haste, if you can get it without sacrificing other important stats, then sure, go for it. Is it mandatory or best? Not always.

Oh, I wasn't saying it matters.

That's why it's a small fraction.

edit: or I'm 6 pages behind.

I've never found a situation where I needed more than 1/5 formless. I personally like invigorate since it stacks with everything. Free Regen or merits that are not being used. = Regen

It's very useful in Salvage2.

It doesn't stack with regen, unless they changed that?

When I did NNI on MNK I changed my merits to 5/5 Formless Strikes just to improve dmg on the floors it mattered on. I swapped back after our group finished with the event . Considering how easy merits are to obtain these days its not unreasonable to change your merits to suit your needs for whatever events you may be doing in the near future.

Invigorate doesn't stack with any Regen-effect spell, and at 1/5 Formless Strikes is hardly even worth having.

Invigorate is pointless, cap Formless Strikes.

From what I'm gathering here, Invigorate doesn't stack with regen spells.

I get it already! Lol. My bad, was incorrect. Havent done much Salvage2, so wouldn't know. Barely play anymore anyways. If it is that useful in Salvage2, i guess i will be changing it up a bit. Thanks for the info.

I figured it stacked with spells because it DOES stack with my Regen idle set. Didn't really care to test whether or not it also applied to Regen spells. Probably shouldn't have said "everything". :p

If you don't have a healer around to regen you/cure you, you're probably solo in which case the value of inhibit TP increases greatly. There's also a decent chance you're on /DNC, so the most annoying thing would be big spike hits IMO, which Inhibit TP is better at stopping.

Inhibit TP is also generally more useful in lowman situations than Invigorate is.

With few exceptions, effects that have the same status icon do not stack. That's why Refresh from the spell cannot stack with the Refresh effect of a Yagudo Drink, because both effects have the same status icon. That's why Slow and Elegy stack, because while the effects are the same, the icons are different (one being a song)

The sad thing is that when they buffed cures, they made regens really pointless on WHM. A Cure IV typically cures like, 900 HP for 88 MP (You also get a bunch back from pentaloons), and regen IV with Briault+2 and Mitts+2 gets you 925 HP over 75 seconds for 82 MP. It's basically only useful as a safety net (Hoping a tick can save someone if you're busy casting something else, that sort of thing). They seriously need to fix Regen spells for WHM.

Not really. I guess if you don't have the usual choices (AF3, Thaumas) it's a good thing to use as a holdover if you just happen to have it.

I just picked up my Nemetona Cap last night. When exactly is this piece good for Victory Smite? Seems Thaumas and Aias Bonnet should be better in most situations where this might shine.

Decent accuracy piece for TP and Smite if you don't have khepri.

Are there any situations where a MNK would need the ridiculous amounts of accuracy from the set below? Pretty sure it's overkill and curious as to what should be taken out of it for the situations where we need Accuracy for TP phase.

Got bored. Speculating 3% each upgrade since 3 pieces = 6% haste, so I'm assuming 5 pieces = 12% haste in this case.

I seriously doubt this is something viable compared to the other mix-n-match sets we have, but it's fun to poke around at the actual utility of Shaolin belt.

Edit: Probably should've put Ghillie +1 ear, oh well.

Why would you sac all of the multi hit from thaumas feet/body?

It's nothing serious. As said I got bored, and seriously doubt it's viable. I prefer the multi-hits myself.

I use my acc set when I'm fighting something large and my buffs aren't up to par. Most primarily Odin v2 w/ my gimp 2 song brd mule, or voidwatch if the group is bad and the fight lasts too long. This is my current set and it does well; too much more acc would be over kill i'm pretty sure.
