Currently low lvl so I can't get that nice high dam to grip and kill them. I
usually get wacked on the second round, due to my ac-4. I also have
37 spell dam, a little low. Again I would cast if I could, usually due to grip
lag I have to recall. I can't "release" and flee, cause I'll be dead by then.
So for me its usually Ki up, Grip, get beat, blast. If they don't die, I hope
my second blast kills it. If it doesn't, 80% of the time I'm dead.

Since we've been comparing monks with thieves, I'd just like to point out that if you don't kill a mob in the first round or two while stabbing, you're probably not going to survive either.

It's the price we pay for being able to solo a multi million xp mob in seconds.

[Medios]

If someone will aegis Dogs, or I have a charm I can easily kill the whole hellwell. I have had to stop and rest for a tick when there is a bad round but overall I eat it up. The elemental school could be classified as mage mobs, but that is where you confuse yourself. Monks are best at killing ele school and mansion, not magis. We can do the blasting damage with movement points and never stop.

Of course you get a round of lag after your grip. This is just something you need to learn to work around. I played a few chars with monk before I made Dogs. I knew there was always at least one round of lag after my leading attack. This is why I opted to go with 6 attacks with maximum damage and necro for wraithform and spectral. Granted form doesn't help for all mobs, but you would be surprised on the xp spectrum. With all my attacks if I whiff on a grip I can still issue a good deal of punishment equal to about a normal blast. I created Dogs to deal a ton of damage regardless of what he was doing. Out of mana, no problem just focus and strike. By tracking my xp I estimate that Dogs can do as much damage with one melee round as he can with a frostbolt. This does not include striking once a round. It adds up.

PS Stop trying to kill thief mobs.

And while we're bitching can my cleric get 177 mana regen like a druid prime can, and wtf cant bards backstab?

[Leaf]

Your cleric regen super fast anyways, and which druid regen 177?
Without Vault room and Dreams?

Bards can't backstab cause they have a flute up their ass. Not sneaky!

[Yinao]

Stryx and iirc Daedalus does too and its in vault with dreams, and I would like to stab you in the face with a flute too.

[Leaf]

What do u regen in vault and dreams as druid second? 150?

[Yinao]

Pretty much, yep, unless I get a masterful rejuv or a good fortune and get up to 158, but those dont count

[13]

I think I may have found your problem Will

[quote:3pmjva5s]Currently low lvl[/quote:3pmjva5s]

[Leaf]

Thats still pretty good for non-prime 158 dang. My nc/ca regen like a nc/nc.

Aa, I'm lvl 11 Tard with +8 +20. Some of the mobs u talked about needs
to be splorked by touch. And I won't be able to until 38 tard. Another
suggestion would be .... *drum roll*
Grip has what, 3 rounds before it counts as full damage?
Why not hum... lose a round and add it to the first grip damage?
This say a lvl40 to lvl37 tard doesn't have that much of a gap for grips?
This additional damage can be from the lower end:
Lvl 10 Prime Monk Grip + last grip = the damage
Lvl 20 Grip + last grip + second to last grip = damage
Lvl 30 Grip +last grip + second + third = damage
Lvl 38 Grip wouldn't be used cause Deathtouch would be used instead, as
it would combined all the damages anyways.

[13]

well you admitted it yourself will

i do like the idea of shortening deathgrip a little, condensing it


a little

I can't wait until you start crying about the whiff rate on deathtouch.
bring it on!

[Leaf]

I think deathtouch has already been bitched about the failed rate.
One of the immorts said they have changed it and increased it. However
some ppl said it wasn't increased or fixed that much at all cause they fail
a lot compared to grip. Doesn't make sense to me, since touch should be
a better skill.

I prob won't make my monk to lvl38 tard anyways. I don't have the time
to mud like 1.5 months ago. Haven't played him in a week or two.

[13]

so you expect to be a super hard hitting newb?
it doesnt work that way
you have to invest time and learn your character
you cant expect to excel if you do not

[Leaf]

I have invested time, spent like 1 month being on 8-12hrs a day in groups,
and soloing.
Never said to be a hard hitting newbie . lvl 11 tard takes awhile. Lead
a few groups too Below are my exp within that 3-4 week time period.
Looks like best was on 24th for solo exp. Did a few 2-3 man.
