MNK PT in KR Tomb

[Tracid]

3 MNKs, BRD, RDM, WHM. I have a question whether or not to continue using Spinning Attack > Raging Fists> Dragon Kick for Light SC after we all get Asuran Fists. Or we all solo with Asuran Fists when we have obtain the WS. Our camp is either J-8 or secret room. Thanks for comments.

Its difficult to say. You do have a RDM, so magic bursts are a possibility, and a strong Light off of the Dragon Kick will do good damage on its own even without a burst.

You will have to see what your individual Asuran damages are. Also, the speed at which you will be killing and chaining is a big factor here as well. Soloing Asurans may allow for quicker kills over time (no waiting for 3x 100% TP) so you may be able to chain higher like that.

Test it out and see what works. Its hard to ignore the potential damage on a solid Light though.

Since it's a 3 way SC, usually it'll be overkill on low ITs or VTs monsters unless its done at start of the battle. If you guys decide to save the tp and do it on the next monsters, then tp is wasted

In short, do the light sc when its not gonna overkill, spam asuran fist otherwise.

from personal experience, 3 x asuran is generally better when not fighting a Lemure

We used to do fragmentation on ghosts (asuran > dragon kick) but with the patch, Banish III weakens ghosts so we can hit almost 1000 damage doing Asuran to it.

But yeah, usually our party is MNK75/WAR37 x 3, RDM/WHM, WHM/BLM, and BRD/WHM. The highest chain we got the other night is 57, we're figuring out a path to try to get us close to 100.

If the monks are worth anything, spam asurans, but when they are doing like 500dmg its just not worth it heh... High chains are too dependent upon mages having skill, so I'm all out of luck here, a lot of mages here can't handle the tomb, its stressful as fuck for mage.

[Tirrock]

It just takes some time to get used to it as a mage. I'm not the best WHM out there, by any means... But in 2 hours I went from running out of MP at chain 6 to hitting chain 12 with MP left.

Been there >.>

Re: MNK PT in KR Tomb

Asuran Fists spam is best if youre strong. Sometimes you may want to do Asuran Fists>Raging Fists if you see the opportunity-- but its not necessary to organize such a renkei. This applies to lv75s though... since you seem to be in the low 70s a renkei may be more useful to you. Light's not really necessary, though. Asuran>Raging would do fine in most situations if you really felt a renkei would speed up exp accumulation.
