I have 16 stacks for when my MNK dings, BUT wouldn't Birdbanes be better for meriting? IDK it just seems like 25% boost in melee hits with haste cap would be better than fast hits with shitty dmg and ws...
as a main MNK, i wasn't too pleased with the announcements made at vanafest 2010. as many MNKs may know MNK doesn't get much when it comes to updates. a decent peace of gear here or there and lolfootworks is about as updated as it has gotten. in vanafest 2010 all jobs was noted to be getting rather decent or just outstanding updates. like PUP getting an A in H2H.. made me cry as a MNK knowing only martial arts and gear is the only thing that stands between PUP out damaging MNK with there fists. not to mention they have a beefy auto next to them spamming them with cure 5s and hitting with 1.5k weapons kills them self.
on top of that they insult MNK by giving them this for the update.
in return of TP gain and the ability to weapon skill.
ACC , and subtle blows ... WTF! how useless is that, EXP pt wise. completely. most MNKs have NO problem with there accuracy. and subtle blows is just crap unless your soloing something you just don't want weapon skilling as often. and subtle blows barely even shows with no matter how much you have. so sucks there. endgame. the acc would be killer i can see. but still nobody is going to put a MNK in endgame PT to feed the mobs TP regardless of how much subtle blows they have. MNK is just unfortunately left out of endgame unless your lucky enough to get in a chi-blast group
sadly this slap to the face is rely disgusted me with SEs thoughts on MNK and makes me want to drop it entirely and just level SAM. at least most of my gear wont go to waste...
what is everyone elses thoughts on this?
Cry more. Other jobs been screwed for years, learn to deal with it.
This is the first update PUP gets that BENEFITS PUP, PUP has been ***for 4 years, ***gear lvling up, ***skills and some of the maton frames, ***. Just cause PUPs get Usukane which isn't even until lv75 AND getting Usukane doesn't happen in a week also PUP WSs suck and Stringing Pummel isn't good enough to the point where its game breaking, PUP deserves this and MNK will still be better in many ways, seeing as you get idk real gear, real stats so your WS and DMG can obviously be seen and you have JAs that if PUP had then I could see why you would cry blood. All I really got to say is, its about damn time SE.
Mnk CAN put up good numbers don't mean they do. Only 5ish mnk on fairy i'd consider inviting to a pt. The rest, I could beat on my pup NOW as it is before the update.
Stringing pummel in every way shape and form is infinitely better than asuran. If I could trade the asuran on mnk for pummel, I'd do it in a heartbeat and never look back.

The reason SP is better is the 30+% modifiers wiki shows it as 32/32 but i'd bet it is just a flat 30 on both. If asuran had even 20% mod's it would be pretty epic, but being only 10% it mostly sucks...unless you are capping acc...even then you're generally only landing 6-7 hits missing 1-2 somewhere in the mix.
ive invited pup's to merit before, i go as mnk, and asuran always > SP
That's because their acc/attack is much lower and they're probably eating sushi while mnk can eat meat. When you close the gap in acc and attack, get them both on the same food, Pummel will be much more powerful. For example, if you could do pummel w/ mnk's stats/gear, it would easily outdo asuran.
