Warrior is a good subjob for a Monk.

Warrior. But you can always change it anyway if you really don't like it.
warrior, it also helps when you are the only tank, as it helps keep threat on you with a couple of awesome JAs.
WAR is most definetly the best subjob you can use in a normal exp setting and most things in the game.
-Provoke: Good for setting up SATA, backup tanking, and in cases, even main tanking.
-Berserk: I believe its +25% ATK for 3 minutes, activation is minimal hate; negligible.
-ATK Bonus: ATK+10
-Double Attack: Another strike, has roughly 10% chance of firing off. Combined later with the MNK's natural Kick Attacks, you will have a chance of hitting even more, and therefore gaining more TP, and more damage over time.
-Defender: Great to use with Provoke and possibly Counterstance(not sure).
-Warcry: ATK Bonus for people in Area of Effect for a short duration. Reletively High Hate. But this is still good to go in conjunction with your attack powers.
Minor DEF Bonus - DEF+10
This is getting old but...yes, WAR is the best for Monk. Be warned: when I played about a year ago, I tried making a MNK/WAR, and it's kind of hard. There's never really a place for you in a group (Well, there is but some people don't think so), so expect a lot of time with your party flag up.
I can't think of any alternative subjobs for monk other than warrior.
THF although i feel is inferior some people use it and say its ok. /WHM is for HNM Chi Blasting o_o MNK/NIN for Dynamis and other stuff like that. MNK/DRG for Ballista lvl 30 caps. But otherwise /WAR in most exp pts.
THF works, but is useless till you know.... a rather high level, and also, most WS wont stack with Stealth in that relation.
Stealth? o_O;;;
The reason i say its not that good is becaues you lose double Attacks and which compliments Kick Attacks and Berserk. Not to mention only the first hit of a WS counts torwards SATA and since MNK is mostly multi-hit WS...its wasted.
I meant Trick Attack o_o"
that and, (Bones Parties) if theres no dark knight, and someone is needed to close light skillchain... you will be able to, right?
I am more inclined to think a MNK/WAR will outparse a MNK/THF in every single way. I have no hard proof at this moment but even IF the WS is more than a MNK/WAR, your overall damage should be alot higher subbing WAR over THF.
I agree with Lionx. Once upon a time it was a popular thing to have the hugest amount of spike damage you could muster. RNGs were the big boys for this pre-nerf. However, to some extent people have finally started understanding DoT (Damage over Time) most, I would assume, because of parsers. MNK/THF can do great spike damage with SA but can do more DoT with /WAR.
Also as cool as people may think it is to rip hate from the tank because you're omfgleet (DRKs come to mind) it's not really cool and it's not a good idea. Slow steady damage lets a tank hold the hate line much better and in the end it's better for everyone.
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm gonna go with the Warrior subjob:)
good :)
because to tells ya the truth, I dont really care for a THF sub anyways.
Yeah, MNK is an extremely awesome DoT job. And a WAR subjob manages to complement that very well.
I wonder if another job in future times will arrive that will surpass the WAR sub usefullness towards a Monk.
there are ppl going mnk/pup and pup/mnk on shiva now
i'm guessing they're just trying it out so see how effective it is. I can't think of any real reason for it though. maybe pup/mnk for some added h2h, but mnk's a boring dd, /war all the way
Yeah the only bonus from /pup is better h2h and... Well ya get a puppet ^^.
Those aren't really a bonus.Quote:

lol you're taking me too seriously, when I say "and ya get a puppet!" I'm just being silly :p...
Heh, I always though PUP was a bit of a joke, main or sub :p
Still, I always thought mnk/war was the only way to go. I wasn't even aware people used mnk/thf in anyway other than for farming perhaps.
SATA Dragon Kick is very nice. Also MNK/NIN is a good combo in a fair few situations.Quote:
