On Monk Footwork, NPC Fellow LVL 70 and F.Bagh.

I patched this video together quickly also because I don't really play much anymore, but I thought I should add something on these 3 topics for completeness.
I will have a matching entry on my website in a couple of days.

The first topic here is the fellow NPC, which I would say is the strongest item in the game if you ever solo anything, and recently was allowed to cap at lvl 70 instead of 65, enter a few more areas like the past, and can now move across zones with you and even log off and log back on with you.

The second topic is Footwork since I get a lot of questions on this. I usually try to make the best out of situational skills like these and find one cool application where they are useful (for example that's why I showed how to solo the 6 scorpions BCNM with mnk/dnc etc)...
But for some reason I really dislike this ability so I didn't try hard enough yet. It just makes you attack so... slowly, it feels like wielding a scythe and not like playing as MNK. Anyways I at least show a few Dragon Kick damage ranges with Dune Boots and attacks with and without Dune.

Together with all this I also show a bit the opposite of Footwork, doing what I like more with monk which is punching continuously with Faith Baghnakhs (which add 1-2 extra punches every other turn or so and stack with DA and 2HR).

Anyways, enjoy for now, I will have all the details, closeup pictures, math and whatnot in my web entry later.

can you 2h with only kicks now? i could see that being cool.

If you mean 2HR, no you can't. They made sure there wasn't anything particularly cool with this new JA. When you use HundredFists all the effects from footwork are turned off and it's as if you never turned on Footwork.

If you mean use 2Handed weapons, also no you can't even use a staff with Footwork.

whats the music?

[genomeffxi]

I forgot to add it to the video, it's just the music played during titles in the new hellboy movie, it's part of that soundtrack.
