Monk help

[Reiker]

Here is when you'll see an increase in damage as monk. Once you're level 30, there's really no accessible weapons in the game better than your bare fist ratio (EBM is ratio 3.5, fists are 3.4)

1: 4/36
5: 5/36
10: 6/36
15: 7/36
20: 8/36
28: +1 Primary Damage Bonus
25: 9/36
30: 10/34
31: +2 Primary Damage Bonus
34: +3 Primary Damage Bonus
35: 11/33
37: +4 Primary Damage Bonus
40: 12/32
43: +6 Primary Damage Bonus
45: 13/31
46: +7 Primary Damage Bonus
49: +8 Primary Damage Bonus
50: 14/30

^This. Save it somewhere and use it as a guide.

Also note that your AC is significantly impacted if you're using overweight weapons which push your stones above 15, so in some cases it might be better to forego a slightly better 1hb in favor of your fists (i.e. cracked staffs which weigh a crapton but are better than fists until 10). Also keeps your H2H skills up.

Side note: Kunark made twink monks OP. Double Knuckle Dusters (14/28 ea) made fists obsolete until late 50s, and Tranquil staffs continued to do so. I remember using those in my 30s and was able to be incredibly reckless since mend was fairly consistent in that range and I hit incredibly hard.

Then Monks got their AC nerf later on, and I could barely solo blues (with epic and ok gear) after Luclin because I didn't raid... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
