You can clear all content in the game with R15 Godhands.
Verethragna has very very low base damage and Victory Smite is a very inconsistent WS against high tier content.
If you're mowing down easier content either weapon is fine but I have stage 5 prime and I'll still use Godhands against things like V25 Ngai.

Hello fellow Friars of the fist. I'm a somewhat returning player from some time ago and would like to get into playing Monk. I've been tooling around on it with 5/5 Malignance and have so far invested in the neck +2 and Moonbow Belt +1.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what weapon I should try to sink my teeth into. I have empy at 90 and was planning to do that, until I read here how Godhands isn't really behind empy or how Godhands can pull ahead. I really do not want to sink millions into something second class.
My issue is getting a group to do aeonic weapon runs. Money I can at least farm solo and eventually get the empy done. I really need advice on what exactly to do. I mostly play solo or low man content as of right now. Using Denouncements currently and really wanting to upgrade. Any advice is appreciated!

I buff what i can before entering Sortie. I use Marine stewpot on me and trusts.
For Ghatjot, I melee him and use Yoran-Oran, Kupipi (he removes silence very fast), Ulmia, Cornelia and King of Hearts.
I start with Geohelix II non MB for 10K+.
I use Haste Samba. Dual wield Maxenxius + Bunzi.
Immanence WIND ELEMENT+ BLACK HALO for GRAVITATION skillchain.
I MB for 50-53K normally.
Rinse and repeat until dead.
I beat my record today and killed it in 3:15 :)

Lol I would never want BLU to be on different set. Trust set is by far the best one with Mercy being second best. Justice probably 3rd and Hope 4th.
The amount of defensive stats on Trust set alongside that Triple attack is just borderline broken. Especially on jobs that also has Sakpata/Malignance hands and Null back is bis for them. The amount of meva in this set is ridiculous. Not to mention all the other uses for this set like casting buffs, debuffs with massive acc/macc and cooldown reduction thx to Fast Cast (you can reduce cooldown on TP reset spells for example). It's bis tanking set. Mostly bis idle. I think some pieces can even be bis for white wind with that much HP.
And all that TPing and casting while being the most tanky is just pure win. Having sword enhancement isn't perfect, but having something like sTP instead would make this set super unbalanced vs other 4.
You're wild for not thinking the justice set isnt the best.... it literally has Everything you want in a TP set. The Trust set is solid sure, but niche, and mainly good for red mage useage outside of macro swaps for the other jobs. If you want to make the arguement that Trust is a huge step up as a TP set for any of the jobs... then Justice would be far better if the jobs were on it.

You know I’ve always thought of it as Rent a Shield, Airbnb shield. Have always accepted payment per synth. But actually after reading some comments gave a good idea. Easier just to charge by the Activation of the shield, all u want 30mins for 10M. Thanks for the input. I’ll craft and try whatever for 30min you keep whatever results.
Thanks.

It would be cool if in the mog garden / monster rearing area
There was a connected zone where only BST could enter
Were you could strengthen pets
Like there doing with trusts
Keep a charmed pet > Give a new Job ability to summon it
Also a new job trait that let's BST use pets as mounts
What else?
Monstrosity? Maybe BST goes here to do something pet related

Who was demanding X tip for HQ? Atleast not in my post. If someone else said that, that’s their business model. Mine is you keep what you get but X amount per try.
More HQs the better, brings more business.

but having something like sTP instead would make this set super unbalanced vs other 4. doesn't need to be STP or a offense focused stat at all.
looking at the set something like SIRD would have made sense, maybe conserve MP, SED feels shoehorned in.

Is Spirit Taker 1:1 damage:mp
With all the crazy *** gear won't it give more mp than myrkr (when its safe to spirit taker instead of myrkr, obviously)

I was still under the impression that only HQ2 would be able to reach Rank 30 when I posted that. That's why I asked if there was any confirmation or not. It was initially speculated this may be the case. With the knowledge that the +1 version can reach R30 then yes, I agree the set is a lot more appealing. The magnifient set looks really good imo.
It's still not even close to being as good as you wrote though. Feet being slightly better or brake even vs Malignance, Kendatsuba or AF+4, while having less meva than Malignance and Kendatsuba.
Body is good for impetus down, but it's not a massive gain over alternatives. Legs and hands aren't an upgrade at all. Head is good upgrade if you are missing Nyame.

It's a pretty accurate depiction tho

Interesting! The hell with HQ2s of that Phalanx set, then.

Do we know for sure that augments are the same and they aren't capped lower than the HQ2s?

There are times and places for glasscannonry
I don't believe tatenshi feet ever qualify though. AF feets take that slot in glasscannoning (and since they now have reasonable meva, maybe they're not quite as glasscannony. Not bothered to run numbers on them in quite a whilte)
Glasscannoning has sense if you being glassy also comes with you being a cannon. Here you drop like 300 meva and 20+ DT to get 1-2% damage (maybe).

This is my bigger issue. The time to reward ratio is pretty terrible. Is it better than oddysey gear? Yes. Is it that much better that it justifies this high of an investment? Highly questionable
Nq and hq1 are barely worse than hq2.
Each HQ1 piece is only 1acc/macc/att/sb/da/dt/evasion/str/dex etc. And like 2 meva and 5hp less than HQ2. Augments are the same.
Hoxne Ampulla is like you said the most impactful for MNK, UT it doesn't change the fact that it's also immensely powerful for Drk, Dnc, Bst, Drg etc.
For DNC it's still easily better upgrade than whole Duty set.
|
|
 |

IS BiS for everything tp related for every job listed
Definitely not with Ampulla and not even without Ampulla.
During Impetus Empy legs, Empy body, Malignance hands beats Duty or are break even. Feet barely beats Malignance and head barely beats Mpaca, but overall best option is probably Nyame A if someone is a a MNK main.
Overall I would mostly go for feet, head and body. Probably in that order and only if you don't plan to get Nyame A head and not use Ampulla. With Ampulla none of the Duty pieces are a clear upgrade. Some are break even and generally worse alternatives. They could be upgrade in some specific scenario when you are not accuracy capped.

Hi, I'm looking to get a sketch of the following:
Tarutaru Female, with yellow pigtails
Corsair, wearing Laksamana body with Opo-Opo Crown and those blue event leggings, you know the kind
For the action, the Tarutaru is using Phantom Roll, but repeatedly busts in front of her whole Linkshell, much to their dismay
I hope this is something you can envision, let me know if you would like more detail!

Phoenix.Enochroot said: »I definitely hope they take another look at Monstrosity. They need to finish the species list at the very least.
From what I remember, Monstrosity was one dev's grand idea and they were the only ones working on it.
They moved on, and it stayed unfinished. Probably no one else understands the spaghetti code at this point.

I have a real-life analogy for how FFXI has been pieced together over the years that actually mimics my personal experience.
FFXI is like an apartment you move into when you're younger and begin decorating. It starts off with all of the rooms being relatively simple but having a very apparent theme and furniture in each room that makes sense.
Over time, you moved into a Townhome and brought your apartment furniture over into your new space, and then filled the rest of the space with other random stuff you bought here and there at various stores. Some match, some don't, but whatever, you're filling out the home. You repeat this for a period of time.
After 20 years, you have moved into a larger home but now have so much mismatched furniture and styles from different eras/stores that there is no longer any consistency and theme to any of your rooms, and you have a bunch of dated old furniture in storage you have absolutely no idea what to do with so it just sits there collecting dust.
One day, you open your storage closet and wonder why you never made some of these old pieces work and had a better vision for decorating instead of just arbitrarily throwing pieces of furniture together. You discover old stuff you completely forgot existed and wish you had put more thought into your plans for modeling, because it could have been so much more beautiful as a whole. The house still is functional and works fine, but it would have been so much more inviting if the forethought was there and took into account everything that existed prior.
This is how I feel FFXI has been managed over the years: still playable, functional, fun, but so many dated/mismatched pieces of content that were abandoned or don't make sense with how they never completed the vision and aren't purposeful. Just went a totally different direction and now you're stuck with a storage closet of relics you don't bother exploring anymore because you've moved on. Kind of sad. (They ARE starting to revamp older content: Besieged, Limbus, we will see what's next)
