Wasn't sure how to do merits to be honest. But my thought process is to get two in H2H for the base damage upgrade.
After that i'm thinking about finishing my Red Mage merits, which will either be 5/5 Wind and Ice Accuracy, or 4/5 on both and 2 merits into Convert Recast. I'll have to see how I feel about it when I get there.
Than 3/3 on Paralyze II, easy choice there.
Here is where the dilemma comes in. There is no point in putting the merit points in if you aren't going to max the spells. So 3/3 on Slow II... or 3/3 on Phalanx II and become our tanks best friend.
The monk merits are easy, cap H2H, 5/5 Counter, 5/5 Kick Attack, Crit Hit Rate, etc.
imo.. it really depends on which job you are going to use for meriting.
If using monk, then definiately pimp monk out first, so you can have more fun meriting for other jobs.
Para II and slow II from what I read is the most popular for Alliance/exp/solo, Bio3 and blind 2 then said was a waste. And Lots of ppl put just 1 into phalanx because the damage mitigation wasn't that much better at lvl3, and lvl1 actually works better in terms of the cast cycle for whats already a busy job of a rdm.
I'm going to do counter eventually.. but since the only time I'm soloing on monk, I actually want the mob to hit me, I won't be doing that for a long long time. Kick attack +5 all the way.
