Monkey Gear

[Maliant]

I've just seen and talked to so many low level monks who have such a hard time leveling without any gear. That's why I always advise people against making a monk or warrior as their first class. Granted this isn't a first class and you will have some gear to work with. I just found the game so much easier by making a necro first class and leveling him to 60 so that I could have a great farmer to buy all the toys for my other classes, because after doing the grind once it's less enjoyable. 50-60 as an iksar monk is hard enough, not like a necro where you can solo to 60, so you may as well make the early levels as easy and enjoyable as possible imho.
