Salvage Group Lfm

We are currently looking for a MNK with With a counter set, a damage reduction set, 260+ gaurd, merits,(black belt would be a bonus).


We are also taking applications for Damage dealers, we currently do no need mages but if you think you have something to offer us feel free to ask, either myself, Grens, Jesslynn.


Basic Salvage experience is a must(casting lots on cells, following directions).

gl in your search, but heads up. Guard sucks and is irrelevant to a good mnk, counter+ builds are meh at best(aside from melee gaiters which can just be macro'd). So I wouldn't look at those as requirements, or you'll pass up a lot of good monks.

What do you go for to be a salvage mnk tank? pretty much dmg reduced?

I have capped guarding. On tougher mobs (like chariots) the proc rate is abysmal, no noticeable difference than when my skill was under 200.(to go further into this, you can *** guard+ gear to get a decent proc rate, but you'd be better off in a PDT build at this point than wearing things like feral mask) On mobs where it does proc well, they hit so weak (especially w/ phalanx II), or miss all together to where it makes no difference in mp management. It's a waste of time to skill and if I could go back, I would have done something more productive with the time.

As for the counter build, it can be counter productive at times. For example, temple hose+1 with +3 counter, if your acc is uncapped, you're better off leaving byakko's on for the 7-8 acc. Why? Because counters can miss. It won't say the counter missed, but you'll just not counter. It is acc based however. If you need an example, go to a mamool ja lurker, with counter gear in every slot and +0 acc, counterstance and engage, see how many times you counter before you die.

mind = blown

I had no idea that acc changed that.

Yea, I used to *** counter+ in every slot back in the day. Now I just juggle my DD and my PDT builds. It's all you need as a mnk tank. If you're solo'ing add an eva build to that. Guard and counter builds though, meh.
