Whats everyone thought on Blistering Sallet +1 r15, being yse for VS?
Adhemar has crit dmg. AFAIK that is valued higher in most cases than crit rate. More STR/DEX on sallet, but no attack, and DA instead of TA, plus no subtle blow (I like having capped SB in my WS sets personally).

Hello! I am working on "resurrecting" my Monk which I haven't seriously utilized in a long time. Researching posts here have answered most of my inquiries, but one question I had remaining was what is the ideal timing to activate Footworks?
In the time impetus is down
I guess if you want to be specific, after impetus wears, after you've built tp for the next ws, right before your ws.

Nothing is ideal. It all depends.
Personally, I do it about a minute into Impetus. It really doesn't matter all that much.
Why would you do that, they're opposing buffs. You're either wasting crit damage on tornado kicks, or you're wasting footwork to gain tp
It kinda matters a lot

It actually matters if you have Veret at r15. With Impetus footwork is just to add a little white damage and tp generation. You wont be doing Tornado Kicks with Impetus up with R15 Vere. Vsmite is way too strong then. With Impetus down tho, Veret + Vsmite is much weaker and you can use Footwork then with Godhands and do Tornado Kicks.
It really doesn't. 20kish attack rounds with r15 GH are commonplace with Impetus+FW up together. It's for the white damage, I couldn't give less of a ***about TK, and I don't have Vere nor do I plan to get them. YMMV, but MNK is not SAM. Just a matter of style and tuning gear/luas around that style.

Yeah, but how much from that 20k is from footwork? 1-2k?
In my experience, there is a big difference in white damage over time with it, from the base damage boost, crit boost, and extra attacks because of how I gear during FW.
Again, YMMV, but this is how I usually play it. Like I said, it really does not matter that much.

How current are the sets on the first page?

Thanks for this... Either I had no idea that it existed or I completely forgot about it.
Just came back after a long time off, after reading thru a lot of posts I still have a question:
Is there an upgrade option to steelflash/blade earring set that falls in between them and sherida/telos?
In other words what would be the logical upgrade sets progression for TP on monk?

Brutal / Dedition
Could pick up Odr, it's good enough for near zero effort and free(*)

Just buy Mache earrings. Simple upgrades that you can buy and work towards your martial arts as well, if you need it. HQ for the extra cash

Are there any DM augs y'all are hoping to get for your MNK this campaign?
I can't for the life of me find anybody discussing subs to use at end game. Specifically Dyna W3 and such. Can anybody provide some insight on this? Appreciate it. I figured /War, /Drg, /Dnc, /Nin, /Run all have their places.
Really not a discussion to have. You got /war as your 99%
/drg for enmity shedding - Can't really go wrong with /drg
/nin survival - kinda defeats the purpose of being mnk but not useless
/dnc more for soloing
/run is niche
You go with what you need.

Always looking for that WSD herc body - Scoring some TH+ my highest priority for a DM until I had +4 though.

I went for phalanx+ on my DM hercs. Having close to 60 (38+21herc) total phalanx received feels good man. Makesmy mnk a tough nut to crack.
After every DM campaign I've still yet to get a single phalanx+ higher than a 1

Useful for every job that can use herc. I'm sure there's a code out there, but even just manually swapping into it with Koru-Moru out works fine. He uses it on his 3rd cast or so, so it's pretty predictable when he's going to cast it on you. Just swap DT in the other slots do you don't get wrecked (that's what I did). If you miss his cast, cancel it and he'll put it back on you.
Also, I'm pretty sure Phalanx+ won't work on Barrier Tusk, if that's what you meant by it.

You say that and I just got +5 on hands today. No DM mules. Just need legs and I'm done.

Is that WSD Herc body for Final Heaven?
It's not MNK specific, but would use it for FH yeah. This'll be the year they fix all the relic ws! Gotta be ready.

You can use react where the specific rdm casting phalanx on you can make it switch to a phalanx equip set. Most of the time prior to starting something I just macro equip my phalanx gear, get phalanx casted on, and not worry about it for 12 minutes lol.
Shout-out to eiryl using final heaven in 2020/21. Literally the only monk who hasn't given up on that travesty of a WS*

They will fix it by changing fTP to be transferred to all hits and WSD wont be best :P
On a serious note, its all they need to do and they could have done it with WS update for monk. It was that easy, no need to change fTP even, just make if transfer to all hits (which they did for every H2H WS beside Final Heaven, even for PUP exclusive Strinning Pummel) and its fixed. The only thing that I think stopped them is because, they probably dont wanted to fix only one relic WS and not other. They will probably do all of them at once.
