No I never played a monk, at least not prime, and no further than Valk levels if at all.. I'm ******* disgusted they're whining with regen like that. Balance my ass.
Same shit, different day.

Yeah.. warriors - taking the risks so others may benefit. Suck at solo too - still spend a lot of time regenning when some other classes can run twice as much without even having to stop, even at lower levels.. pathetic really. I'd give up warriors but I can't be fecked starting all over again - already found that out.

[quote="13":3tm7krbl]Will, you joke about being 'the eternal newb' from our standpoint, but dude,
this is why you get that label. You actually posted this:

[quote:3tm7krbl]Touch is lvl38 tard. So a lvl40 monk doesn't have
anything to really look forward to until 38 tard.[/quote:3tm7krbl]

IIRC Monks get between prime 40 and 38 avatar

more dmg reduction
increased dmg
the avatar retreat thing
a better strike
a better (but still frickin useless) stun
about 250hprgn
prediction
swiftkick (like ambush but with dgrip and outside)


And then there was this

[quote:3tm7krbl]Also I know I stated this
before, but maybe I don't understand it. Crippling Strike ... does this skill
improve stabs damage?[/quote:3tm7krbl]

[i:3tm7krbl]Maybe[/i:3tm7krbl] you don't understand it? It adds damage to stabs. The dmg that
it adds increases with the stabber's avatar levels.

[quote:3tm7krbl]
If so, were's the love for monks?
[/quote:3tm7krbl]

What I wanna know is where is the love for spelling and grammar.
It's a new class that you haven't been playing since the dawn of time;
would it kill you to have to think and find cool stuff to solo or are ya
gonna group the whole way to 40 tard? Don't forget that you have 3
other classes. Use them to your advantage and stop asking ignorant
questions.

<3[/quote:3tm7krbl]


First off, I know my grammar is pretty shitty on Sloth Since I usually deal with my clients via emails at work. I don't really re-read or spell check,
what I type on Sloth (place to relax).

I have 3 great classes to support my Monk Prime, however I wanted
something more as a Prime skill besides Wraithtouch. Ki may be faster then
focus, but from my understanding its the same amount of damage as regular
focus. Hence why I pushed for additional damage for a Prime stand point.

IIRC Monks get between prime 40 and 38 avatar (again I do know)

more dmg reduction (Mo in any slots... 2% less then Prime?)
increased dmg (You get +6dam for your tards I know.)
the avatar retreat thing (Yup again any monk can use if in class)
a better strike (Again anyone can use)
a better (but still frickin useless) stun *yea useless*
about 250hprgn (Wa/Mo gets more use of out this as tanks)
prediction (Nerfed a little but anyone can use)
swiftkick (like ambush but with dgrip and outside) *cough* anyone can use

I'm asking for something more as a Monk Prime. Besides of the benefits that
have been posted Wraithtouch and Ki, Why should anyone pick Monks as
Prime???

Yes I know I have to compare "Thiefs" again, because they are the closest
class to monk with quick damage. Thiefs can backstab ether mobs with
their posion. Crippling Strike adds damage. Per what every 10 levels?
Something that adds more damage on the first hit. Monks have nothing
to improve their grips until lvl 38 tard. Also Aa I posted at the begining
that touch was lvl 32 monks. I was posting that comment to correct what I
posted earlier.

[Weasel]

Here's an idea, to -start- to even things up.. make defy usable once an hour instead of once a day (real time), so at least warrior primes have a chance to kill ONE bigger mob every hour instead of never, while some other classes can take out anything in the game whenever they want.
Here's another idea - give warrior primes inherent and realistic HPregen rates, rather than worse HPregen than a number of caster classes get. It doesn't even make sense the way it is.

[Weasel]

and yes, I R hijacking this thread

[Leaf]

Open a new topic Ferret!!! This way ppl can say No, and Create a Thief.

Also Aa, I do know how to solo ... well somewhat with my monk.

But the LAG from grip needs to be improved, or something. Ooo lookie
here, I'm asking for more lovin!

[Alberich]

actually, there is ONE poison that effects ether mobs - it's a pain to brew (you can't buy it) and it only applies the damage of the poison, not your stab damage (unless it's been changed.) It is in no way comparable to wraithtouch.

while we're on the subject of wishing for ponies and highways paved with gold - lets give thieves parry too, to make up for having no AC, low HPs, and no mana regen. That way we might survive more than 1 run in 2!

I think the problem is that you people don't know how to mud very well and you blame it on your characters. Jesus Christ, get a grip. This shit is getting retarded. I honestly don't know what else to say.

"Stupid is as stupid does" If you think this shit is retarded, quite adding to

Contemplation is a monk skill that gives increased resting hp regen. Dogs currently gets 282 hpr when resting in his dmg mode. I know you say its so much and yadda yadda. Honestly contemplation is the only skill that I have available to heal myself. Well I can use soul infusions but try and make enough of those to heal when you got 400 mana and you need most of that for spells. I created Dogs to prove that almost any classo can be functional if you learn it. Of course I cannot run much eq mobs with Dogs, my mr is too low to regen and 2 run something. However he is great to group and do smallish xp or coins with.

Clue: Hellwell is half ethereal.
Clue: Elemental school is nostab.
Clue: Get one.

Yes Hellwell cells are every other for ethereal.
Elemental is nostab and mostly "Mage" type kill there for gold. (When I'm on)
Got one

U could have included Pronghorns, Irap, and some ET maybe first lvl.
Hellwell is harder for grip and blast, due to the lag. So u will usually get
hit pretty hard on the turn around. (Then again i know Dogs at ac-8 or -9)

Here let me go back and bitch from the start:

More Grip/Touch/Strike for Prime Monks
Have mobs lost attack or alot more -hits once gripped, but not touch
Reduce the lag time for grip, would like to do something in group/solo

Actually thats about all I'm really "bitching" about. Just to see some better
improvements, since Warriors/Thiefs getting more skills.

Has there been any changes to Monks since the start? Ooo besides reducing
+hand dam eq, and Predictions?
