then you can sit here whining about how useless monk is while the rest of the world uses real gear and plays the job in situations besides double idris geo for CP level mobs.
OMG, I don't know why I didn't think of this before now. I'm going to try to bridge the gap with you one last time due to how things have recently played out in the DRG forum. I'm not taking sides over there because I'm not invested in that job, but the negativity isn't necessary and it really shouldn't spread across every job thread. So, here we go:
You seem to not understand why using Apex mobs with known stats are useful for making baseline gear comparisons.
You also refuse to believe that my proposed gear set, which I will show again below, could cap Accuracy and Attack on said Apex mobs, let alone anything higher.
And yet you have seemingly accepted without complaint the results of Ramz's testing on Neak.
My proposed set (for your sim to run on Apex Crabs, ilvl 128-130):

»If I could wear anything, this would be my TP set, assuming no accuracy issues. I'm missing two pieces of this. (Well, three, since I haven't made the feet yet because I'm lazy/inventory).
ItemSet 352604
The set that capped on Neak, ilvl 145:
Did 20x Neak
Your MNK
Yourfinished TP:
Yourfinished:
Adhemar Head/Body +1 - Path B
Adhemar Hands - Path A
Herc Feet (tp) - 20 acc 4 TA
Herc Body - 15 str 25 acc 4 Crit D
Ryuo Hands +1 - Path A
BoG Frail/Fury/Torp/Fade (Idris 2x)
Marc. BMad/SMad/HMarch/VMarch (Moonbow Whistle +1)
Chaos/SAM
Boost-STR
Dia 2
Sublime Sushi
Alternate Impetus/Zerk (zerk is useless)
No Cyclas +1
Differences between the two sets:
Yourfinished has roughly 26 more Accuracy on the hands due to Path A.
My proposed set has roughly 19 more Accuracy on the feet.
Yourfinished has roughly a net gain of 7 Accuracy plus vorseals for being in Escha, bringing what would work great on ilvl 130 to the requirements of ilvl 145.
I hope this settles that the proposed set is real gear that could be used on real content assuming real buffs from buff jobs that are also using real gear for use on real content. The purpose of using appropriate buffs is to crush higher ilvl targets so they can be beat down as though they were lower ilvl threats.
I hope it also causes you to reconsider using your sim to beat down the observations that others are making in the actual game. I'm not saying eyeballing is greater than modeling, but if your sim is saying something is impossible that is demonstrably possible, something is clearly amiss.
