Power Leveling?

that's true. i missed the part where he mentioned he actually intended to get to 50. but he'll be scraping for a long while.

it just seems like a massive waste of time to play one character to 50 just so you can twink another character that you really want to play, more so when the former character is slightly gear-intensive (weapons, anyway).

i mean, get a cheap ass PSD and a suit of banded and a rogue will group just fine.

My first character on the server was a mage, because I knew I wanted to play a warrior. It makes sense to want your character, especially one that is very gear dependant, to have better then cloth armor or even banded, for the first 15-20 levels. Leveling a character like a rogue is infinitely more fun when you're doing it with better then average gear.

Play the farming toon till 50ish, when you have the money to buy the gear for your rogue, then play the rogue till 60. You now have a toon you can farm money with and a toon you can raid with.

I'm not sure I'd choose monk as the farming class. I think at this stage of the game, enchanter or necro is a better option. Both fun classes to play, both can farm named or seafuries to make a solid amount of plat regularly. Plus the whole switching from one melee dps class to another melee dps class seems a bit redundant.

I was thinking Monk mainly for the ability to help others PL with FD...although I assume Mage would make just as good of a PLer as a Monk at endgame. I might roll a Mage at some point to be honest...I just didnt wanna bother with medding all the damn time. =/
