Victory Rings or Snipers

[Gaignum]

Simple, quick question.
Im currently using sniper rings for mnk, i can use victory rings now.
just wondering what you guys recommend.
stay with snipers, or go victories?
victorys, in case your not sure give +4 str a pop.

Stay with Snipes, at lvl 60+ mobs have like perfect evasion, even if you can deal a shyt load of dmg, you cant deal any if you cant hit it now can ya'? :p

Stay with Snipes, there your best freind, and put it in your PT comment, you'll look more blinged out

BTW heres a lil idea, you should do like I did, you could get the STR rings and right b4 you use your WS to SC macro in the STR rings so that it will add a 70% more damage onto the attack. Thats the only purpose I used my STR rings for. But use your Sniper Rings for dealing general dmg, since you'll gain TP faster if your actually hitting the mob.

yea I'd say buy snipers and sun rings for sc's

Umm, no. don't.
You're gonna be using rangeki til howling fist. the 5 hits of rangeki are /exactly/ when you're gonna want that acc. keep an eye on your TP return and you'll see exactly how badly whiffing castrates you.

I was done with the brown/snipers vs life/str rings debate like a year ago. few other equip alternatives has been beaten to death so heavily. You've kept snipers thus far, so I have to assume you're using brown belt. no reason to change that now. when you get shiva's as an alternative you may want to look into str rings and play with equip combinations (life vs brown, specs vs fang, sun vs snipers, shiva vs spartan, etc.) mix n match and see what you come up with. Each situation is gonna have a different right answer.

Mixing and matching is the key here, as stated above. Don't go all out STR or ACC, test out and see what the happy medium is that you are happy with.

Monks have survived all 75 levels doing it one way or another, so it comes down to whatever you like using. No one is going to yell at you for going one way or the other (for the most part, they won't care about your equipment at all as a Monk, and certainly not if "you have Snipers or STR rings").

As long as you find a way to hit hard and hit often, your parties won't look twice. Luckily as a MNK that is easier to accomplish than with some other damage jobs.
