iMoogle - An FFXI/FFXIV LS (2003 - 2014)

This is pretty much the same exact post I put up on Knights of Equilibrium. (Dark and Myrddine's Linkshell ^^b)

Recently I had heard that MNK/NIN could solo this Uncapped BCNM style quest, but I was skeptical. So I decided to head out to Riverne Site B, and waited a good hour or two before someone showed up to go through the unstable displacement. Next time I do this I'll have to get some help getting a Giant Scale or something. Turns out Monk isn't really good soloing Pyrodrakes fyi. lol

This video I did to show as proof that someone can actually solo this BCNM as MNK/NIN, as well as just to say, "Hey, this is awesome, I can actually make a video of stuff I'm doing in game now!"

I used Fraps, and converted it to a Windows Media 9 format using VirtualDub. That took it from about 200mb AVI down to 65mb AVI. ^^;

Anyways, enjoy guys and gals.

MNK gears are far more versitle than a NIN's IMO. With the correct setup, a MNK can have 300+ Evasion skill (with merits of course) and there are a vast amount of evasion and -dmg gear.

Good stuff you got there Kaze

You forgot about Guard kira lol

Guard like Parry IMO doesn't proc enough to be considered Unless they come up with something that procs as much as Aegis..

LMAO a moment in the life of kaze-kun~ GJ man ^^

Aside of getting my butt kicked while waiting for the Mammet to go DRG mode, I think I did ok in that fight.

Yeah, I agree Monk has alot of versatility to it. One of the odd things I found out recently is Monk can get more in defensive stats than in offensive stats. For example, a Monk with capped guard, can get about +68 Guard skill from equipment. So 269+68 = 337. Albeit not alot of Monks have capped guard skill, nor do alot of Monks wish to spend most of their time online just sitting there skilling guard. I do alot of that skilling up junk myself, you might see me from time to time toiling away in The Boyahda Tree. Lol. . .

But yeah, I agree Monk can get alot of good equip to help boost it in many respects. Evasion, Guard, Parry (though not much) all are boostable to a certain extent with Monk, but Parry is probably the least worried about for Monk, considering we don't use Staff and Club for more than Chi-Blast, or skilling up. Though some staves are useful for screwing around with a mage sub job while skilling up or something.

Guard doesn't proc all that much like Kira pointed out. I did a couple fights against Mourioche in the Tree and came up with about 21 hits taken, and 7 of those guarded as an average a while back. This was with my guard skill near the level it should have been while fighting Mourioche, as well as wearing like +34 guard skill. lol

o_@ If Monk and Ninja were to get something that procs as much as Aegis, SE would be really quick to nerf it I think.

If anyone is interested in my guard data though, I got a little page that I keep track of my guard skill ups on.
