A little more sub discussion

[Wiseman40]

Alright, at risk of sounding like even more of a noob than I usually do, I thought I'd ask the question:

Is drk a viable subjob for mnk? Souleater seems pretty appealing.

Try not to flame me too much. I'm not trying to beat the system here. I'm currently 20 mnk/war and will probably remain mnk/war forever.

I havn't had the chance to use berserk yet as a mnk but I can tell it will be very effective, and I've read all of the posts on how nothing can beat /war as a subjob.

I've also read the posts by people saying that thf is viable, particularly when farming - and there seem to be one or two /sam advocates out there.

I've examined those I think as closely as I can and decided that the popular concensus is correct - war is better.

However, in the spirit of creativity and discussion, please illuminate the /drk idea.

Basically Berserk wins hands down. Just gives too much atk 3/5 of the time you play to ignore. /drk may have some situational uses, but not during xp.

Re: A little more sub discussion

Caspian pretty much nailed it. /WAR simply wins with Berserk and Double Attack. Asuran Fists + Souleater and Hundred Fists + Souleater can probably be devastating, but that's way more situational and the latter can't be done more than once every two hours.

/thf is also for ending skillchains. It's situational.

why would you want warcry on mnk? lol boost is stronger and they don't stack

Re: A little more sub discussion

Ummmm......Boost and Warcry DO stack (not for Chi Blast, but for everything else they do). Not only that, but Warcry gives an attack boost for a full 30 seconds (to everyone within range in your party, including you), whereas Boost gives you just a single attack boost on only one attack.

Why would you want Warcry? Excellent to use before a skillchain for increased damage from everyone in your party. Gives your party that extra edge to finish off a mob for a chain. It carries a decent ammount of hate - good for saving mages, pulling hate for SATA partners, or backup tanking.

So yeah, I'll take my Warcry thanks.

Turn off all filters. Warcry, then boost.

you will get the message XXX's boost has no effect!

It's less attack than boost. Only point for it is hate.
