how much better is Iks Monk compared to Human?

Ronnie555 · #1 03-08-2010, 09:44 PM

I miss my Iks monk.. settled on a human this time around.. but it's tempting to just wait for Kunark and make a shaman til then (barb or troll, depending on how KOS I wanna be and how much EXP penalty I'm willing to deal with)

thoughts? at high lvl lets say 40+ (I know thats not super high but still..) how big is the difference?

Check http://forums.monkly-business.net/in...geid=abilities for difference in fist damage and natural regen.

I seem to remember Iksar getting an AC bonus of around 40ac.

Iksar are hated everywhere but Cabilis.

Hope that helps.

thx, very helpful.. I guess I'll keep workin on my human for now and switch over to Iks when the time comes...

I don't mind being KOS everywhere... Kunark has zones for all levels!

I leveled 2 monks to 60, an iksar and a human. Got both their epics.

Human was FAR easier.

cool man, thanks. What factors made it easier? just being KOS as Iks? exp penalty still exist when you leveled them?

if i remember correctly, iksar had higher regen rates while human had slightly better hand to hand dmg/delay ratio.

By far the #1 issue with Iksar (for me) was faction. Made for the best memories and challenges...

...but was a VERY definite challenge. You can bank in Cabilis and Runnyeye...

Boats, guards, ports, ... even the *evil* outpost in Overthere hated you...

I went Iksar, never regretted the decision, either.

I'm playing a human monk now, and I will definitely be making an Iksar monk when the time comes.

When I chose Iksar I did it for the (feign) death animation!

I had no idea about AC / Regen / Fist damage differences when I rolled him up. I didn't find out about all that crap until a short while afterwords when I decided monk was gonna be the class for me.

Now that I do know - I'm still all about the Court of Pain!
