Trying to settle into my 75 Mnk. Merited on it a bit but still slightly shaky on some elements of how to properly gear. Have capped H2H merits and just got my black belt so kinda want to take gearing Mnk more seriously. What WS boots do ppl recommend for example? Currently using Rasetsu sune-ate (+5 atk) and that seems about the best available? Also what earring do Mnks typically want to pair with Brutal for WS? Presumably +6 atk, +2 str, or maybe 3 acc from diablos's earring? Any advice experienced Monks might could give me about stat priorities in general would be welcome. I know many things involving stats and WS particularly work differently than in retail.

Also upon doing some reading it looks like Brutal earring can not actually trigger on A. Fists because of a cap on the number of hits that are possible. If that's true brutal presumably is not a good WS piece >.<

Acc or Atk seems like the only choices, idk if the synth for seihanshi or w/e works but if so it'd be nice +3 str. Enkidu's can't get right now so those are out, shura or tabin could give some acc, or if footwork merits do the right thing could dragon kick in some dune boots, other than that you pretty much stuck with rasetsu I guess.

Slow on the response, but for Asuran, Acc and Att. You're pretty much on the right track. +5 attack is pretty much the best thing you'll find obtainable for the foot slot (besides Rasetsu Sune-Ate +1 at +6 attack.

Keep in mind that Nasomi isn't retail, and while I'm certain that you can't get a 9th hit on asuran via double-attack, I have never seen data to know if double-attack can make up for a missed hit.
If you choose to equip something else in the earring slot, I would go for acc or attack. Diabolos/Minuet Earring(under Minuet) for acc, otherwise Merman's/Coral/Spike. Asuran seems to be more or less like retail where the STR mod is minimal.

Footwork doesn't exist, so I didn't bother to get dune boots. It may still affect Dragon Kick, being Nasomi, but I don't know. Anything I fight on my MNK is something relatively weak anyway, so Asuran is my go-to WS. If you find out that Dune Boots do something for Dragon Kick, let me know :lol:


Asuran:

Shenlong's
O Hat
Hachi Body
Charger's Mantle
Shadow Gorget
Bandomusha Kote
Life Belt
T.Sting
Fenrir's Earring (or spike)
Brutal Earring
Sniper's +1 (x2)
Shura Haidate
Melee Gaiters

Earrings and feet could be upgraded, but need either more inventory or to re-prioritize what I carry.
L.Ear doesn't get macro'd, so I change up manually when I realize day/night has changed. If I end up with consistent aggro (some meripo or farming), I usually just full-time the fenrir's to avoid the -5 evasion.

TP:

Shenlong's
W.Turban
Hachi Body
Charger's Mantle
Faith Torque
Melee gloves +1
Black Belt
T.Sting
Fenrir's Earring (or spike)
Brutal Earring
Sniper's +1 (x2)
Byakko's Haidate
Fuma Sune-Ate

Might be worth it to run a Rajas for TP, not really sure. I eat Yellow Curry Buns or Akamochi depending on accuracy.

Dune Boots are a Hundred Fists piece only, don't bother with DK.
