A place for discussion about the choices I have made in gearing up my Monk.

I do not intend this as a "Brag Book" (as I know that I am far from teh oober Monk) but rather my personal thoughts on the suitability of various equipment.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

TP Gear
I would think that the most 'controversial' choice would be the Denali Gamashes over Dune Boots.

The boots have been a hard choice. But, without parsing, the +STR and Acc on the Denali seem to be a fair alternative to the longstanding MNK choice of footwear. Besides, they just look better. ^.^

Asuran Gear
To be honest, I tinker with Asuran macros a lot and without parsing, the only real noticeable change is when I add or remove the pre-WS boost. my current setup-in-testing is to swap in my Temple Gloves, boost, change back to my Melee Gloves +1 and then swap four pieces of gear.

Here are the pertinent stat changes: Accuracy -15 STR +17 Attack -26 plus the latent effect on the gorget v.s. the skill increase from the torque.

Chi Gear
I don't really Chi-Blast much anymore... last I checked with WAR sub, I had MND of 65 + 67 I think. Will have to verify and check what it is with WHM sub.
