Monk or SK

[PintoB3an]

I'm dead set on these two you could Maybe throw Ranger in the mix. Zero twinkage and it would be Iksar. Which one is better for Red solo and group pvp also to get into raiding?

Monk

shaman, send tell to me in game on Gzaz, i'll give you some pointers

[Drakaris]

Necro or SK - Monks can rarely get kills without a Tstaff...

No gear? Monk. Monks naturally have hand to hand damage that scales up as you gain levels (you don't necessarily need weapons like every other class). As a monk your main hand should have no weapon and you will provide decent dps for your group or solo. Sk is more gear dependent especially if your job is to tank for the group.

monk, if you dead set on camping a t staff, do it up.

sk's suck unless u r willing to farm golem wands and spend a lot of plat to pvp.

[PintoB3an]

Thanks guys decided to try both and see how it goes.

[B4EQWASCOOL]

I like the way you think.

[Bazia]

rogue and monk are best at pvp AND raiding so there's really no reason to pick anything else at all

Classic no here yes, who ever is developing seems to think Rogue's and Monks should be hero classes.

[Madbad]

Both of those classes do crazy damage end game

[Bazia]

the insane damage and utility both those classes bring together make it hard to justify picking any other class unless to sacrifice yourself by fulfilling less important and fun but still needed roles like the one warrior/enc/shm or the two to three clr/brd/wiz for raids

as far as pvp goes a good example is 3 rogues or t staff monks will kill a rogue/enc/clr

3 rogues or t staff monks will kill a shm/mnk/brd

rogues or t staff monks will kill any other combination of classes that aren't rogues or t staff monks no matter the scale of numbers assuming you aren't massively outplayed or outnumbered

Grab a peacebringer for your monk and enjoy the journey.

SK, 1 shotting harm touch disc in velious, you'll be able to collect all sorts of kills.


Most people say go troll sk for velious which is prob the right call. I am a big fan of the ogre sk tho.

[Stasis01]

SK in Velious is a one button hero, monk will be a wrecking machine.

Be an iksar monk. They are the 'go to' class/race for velious, you can blend into the crowd. No one will remember if you do something stupid, or piss someone off, because there will be 100 other iksar monk mains.

[Stasis01]

I stand out because of my PD robe and my Hoshkar boots.

[Purp]

whatever you enjoy playing~

yes there is a reason, not everyone can play a melee, its not easy to joust

[Genedin]

Rogues and Monks most dmg....like by a long shot in pvp, can run through any dungeon or zone to find target, can both lock down players. Really only two classes in game worth playing on this server besides a Wizard if you are good.

[Omnifiend]

Monk. Decent weapons are very, very cheap, if not free, and don't require any other gear until you can camp it yourself.

SK everyone is going to expect you to tank, so you are gonna need more than just a weapon. Hard to afford what you need till you have a farming class in at least the 40's.

[Chronoburn]

Live-Velious, geared out warriors & SKs were unstoppable. If they fix Monk mitigation (Needs a nerf), 2 Handers, and AC checks they might be back on top. But I doubt these issues will be fixed so just roll a monk.

[Splade]

Iksar ranger 4tw

[Bazia]

monk, sk not even close

[Qtip]

Now? Monk
Once velious is released sks get another decent lifetap, offensive skills go up in line with warriors, a big boost in hp/mana items with much higher resists.
Monks do get triple attack towards the end of velious, but I think sk and pally are going to get alot better. Also paladin will be unkillable in raid gear.

[Bazia]

after velious still monk

[Farzo]

Also monks are op dps/tankage in velious.

Seriously ever one has one because of it.

[Tassador]

SK was fun in classic when you could log for an hour and a half, comeback with a new ht.

[PintoB3an]

Update- Played Warrior and Monk the past week.
Ogre Warrior is level 30 with crap gear.
Iksar Monk is level 24 with crap gear and 2x trance sticks.

Both seem pretty fun, I just wish they could solo a bit better ive been running into a slew of bad groups lately. lol I end up losing more exp than I gain in some of them.

Guess this means I should roll necro.. =/

How well do SK solo? if I manage to scrounge up some gear. Or a pally and a Ghoulbane undead solo.

[Pumped]

melee require gear, or a group
