Synergies
Monk & Warrior
Monk and Warrior go together well if you also grab the Brawler ability from the former as Warrior’s high Strength lends itself well to most of Monk’s abilities. Monk also provides status curing abilities, HP regen, and a revival skill if used as a sub job. Warrior’s abilities give Monk some Debuffs to their attacks at a cheaper cost then some of Monk’s other skills. All of Monk’s Passives work extremely well with Warrior, and the same can be said for Warriors non weapon related passives.
can u explain Variance? i couldnt find it in anywhere
Damage can’t go below zero, so if you have more than 100% variance you’ll be increasing the range’s max while the min stays capped. So if you had 100 damage with 150% variance, that becomes 0-250, which ends up averaging 125.
Variance can be pesky since it introduces, well, variance. It makes your attacks less consistent. But it can also be utilized to your advantage. I think the duck also mentioned that a high luck stat can affect your rolls, though I’m not sure how much.
