Yes, I mentioned in this entry you can use Footwork before Hundredfists, but I haven't tested it much, I'll try it more and see if I can make 5WSs as you suggest etc.
Also I am not sure if I understood you but I am on Diabolos server and not Ragnarok so you wouldn't see me on your server =P

I don't think anybody has the new weapon yet, but people think might drop from LVL5 zNM so it's likely pretty hard to get but not expensive like relic.

I have the new kick boots but they apparently changed their effect since I tried them, it used to be increase in kick rate when footwork was off, I don't know exactly what it is now but it doesn't seem very interesting, from what I can tell it's still either dune or fuma.

I didn't like footwork either. One of the criteria that I applied to footwork was its damage potential. If it did 2x more damage than 1 punch and if each kick was approximately the same as 1 attack round, Footwork could be useful.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the case. However, I'm still curious whether or not a MNK that has +kick attack items would benefit more from footwork especially like AF2 legs if they don't Byakko's yet.

For a fun time, try /drg and footwork. It doesn't quiiiite process right and gives you Footwork dmg with hth's double fists, with resulting stacking double attacks.

Fun to play with, if anything else.

Oh, hth's double fist with footwork's TP too.

I will give it a try, although technically jump can have punches plus kicks plus double attacks, so depending on averages, lowest etc it might just be a footwork attack plus a kick and not two punches with footwork-like damage in a jump. Plus for jumps I also liked the fact that Faith Bagh. could stack with all the rest, so again that's one more thing you would give up with footwork, so it would be a matter of looking at whether averages are really increased enough.
Either way unfortunately it's still very hard to make /DRG work well these days when pulling is so fast (recast on jumps feels like an eternity) and when your haste is already capped...

This isn't related to your post but, I wanted to know your opinion on whether or not it is worth getting Spharai vs using Destroyers and Faith weapon. Also, do you think it is more worth it for a DRK to get relic compared to a MNK?

Re: Relic genomeffxi July 15 2008, 05:29:46 UTC
I would definitely say getting a relic is better for DRK. I mean honestly I don't know too much about DRK, I am mostly saying it because spharai for MNK is just not all that interesting. Final heaven is not very cool, doesn't even look too cool to me, and gives a stronger subtle blow effect for a few seconds... which is kinda lame. The counter+10 is sort of nice but really not worth the effort and the damage end up being too close to destroyers on average to be noticeable (the high delay hurts them, the lack of crit+ also hurts them, the WS dmg is a bit higher but that and the low % of triple damage just barely gets them on the same level with a slight increase in damage ( ... )

Ya I am getting more friends saying go for scythe so that settles it. You're right, getting to the point where gil is not being spent on anything anymore so relic is the next logical thing to do.
