Monks

[Omnimorph]

I've only been a human monk, funnily enough i did get offered to trade my account for an iksar monk on a different server, but i didn't want to [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I might start an iksar monk later on.

Human.
Seems to fit the RP aspect better IMO. (why would a race as evil as the Iksar worry about Tranquility, Order, Self Control, Simplicity etc.)

I agree with what Loke said about monks relying more on skill then gear. I think the minimalist spirit of the monk is the core of the class.

However, I do like the Iksar run. Seems like an accurate bipedal lizard movement. I even prefer their run to human's...

The ONLY consideration between the races, other than personal preference, is this; "Is Iksar regen worth the xp and faction penalty?" Every other difference is extremely minor.

I could never imagine myself playing a lizard or a cat willingly in EQ.

Pure and simple.

Lets also not forget the hell that is "fixing" iksar faction around Norrath. There is a downside to being evil, especially as a silly melee class.

Skill is definitely required when pulling. However, FD kiting is the crux of the monk's solo ability Kunark-Velious. Regen allows you to FD kite. Why it's called FD kiting when you really don't have to move, I don't know. If anyone knows a better term, let me know.

And while Iksar may worship an evil god and hate all other races (given their lore, I don't blame them), they're a noble race. I don't see how self control and tranquility is exclusive only too "good." If anything, humans are more corrupt than Iksar.

Voted iksar b/c they have a tail attack like a pokemon and they are not blind as hell.
