Tbh I haven't bothered checking the math, but I vaguely remembered this being a thing in era too. However I also remember this dude being a pretty respected Monk main back in the day - from a pretty quick google search

Given Nasomi and DSP's in general jank physical damage formulas though, who tf knows if this is relevant to Nasomi. Spharai's extra damage can proc on kick attacks here too, so I'm sure that will also need to be factored in to some degree.

Can't say ive noticed any procs on kick attacks or off hand from Spharai, is it meant to?

Also whats up with Guarding on mnk? Feels like its a big part of MNK that doesn't work here, mines at 44 probably get 1 skill up a month and a proc every 2 months. I remember reading awhile ago a lad went to the effort of skilling up it and still didnt do much, loved to guard some of them heavy hitting TP moves that mobs like to spam one after the other here

So are kick attacks broken on Nasomi?

Fun fact: guarding skill ups happen regardless of the mob level attacking you. Grab up a herd of mandies some defense gear or /rdm and you will be capped in no time. Guarding works, but as it was in retail its fairly useless. Your casts still get interrupted if guard procs. It also doesn't reduce damage enough to justify not being /nin. So at most its blocking some damage when shadows are down. Compared to parry or evasion its just less useful.
