Iksar Monk: 20 sta the endgame choice?

[Keebz]

Can we all collectively agree to stop responding to DSM?

You do not need abashii equipped. Noone equips abashii, it's an inventory item.

Please look at my magelo i posted so you know what you're talking about finally.

You very obviously don't play a monk or know anything about p99 pulling if you think bagspace isn't an issue. Here's a real quick list off top of my head that I carry generally a mix of the below. +- 1 or so of each as consumables get smashed, wort gets eaten, lend out shit that isn't returned (wtb tash sticks continually).

Using 7 bags gives you 71 slots.
3 are keys with 2 banked
2 are food and stat food
1 gate pot
1 thurg pot
1 wc cap
1 cazic pot
10 worts
5-10 forlorn totems
1 poison cure pot
5 wand of frost bolts, maybe 7-8 thin boned wands if not
1 scepter
5 flowers
jboots
2-3 sow pots
5 invis rings
maybe a MR pot as sometimes you need to exceed cap (kiting fear where you get tashed and want to still be over 255)
beads
aon sometimes
ot hammer
grim aura item
see invis bracer
PD crown
crown of hatred
lev cloak
shuriken bracer
nightmare hide
idol
1stack javs (you keep these bagged not ammo slot as its faster to loot corpse that way)
2 task sticks
reaper
larrikens mask (to invis your eyeball, nexona pull+invis others for whatever dumb shit you do)

Idk how much that adds up to, but it's a decent amount of shit to haul around on any competent monk.

edit:
I counted. 67. I just checked and I carry 68 things on my mnk as there's usually 1-2 quest items. But only 3 wand of frost bolts as im a shitter.

edit 2:
Lol, no abashi listed either...Sorry I don't got. But I do carry 2 golem wands at all times a poor man's alternative.

edit 3:
Forgot add a bio orb too, pretty darn handy in about 4 situations I do semi commonly (low man/trio plate house, PoG, kiting shit in DN like vaniki/vilefang/queen to preslow, general goofing about).

I didn't say you need it equipped in my last post. You said:

No abashi/FoN equipped?

I assumed you thought no weapon was equipped at all.

I think you didn't read the description in the Magelo, which says I am showing the worst stats by equipping abashi.

I didn't say bag space was unimportant. You really need to learn how to read lol. You were simply making a point about bag space, which is irrelevant to the Magelo I posted. If you don't want Do'Vasirs gauntlets, that is perfectly fine, but even yourself can afford 1 slot if you wanted to have it. You don't need stat food, as an example.

Force feed yourself iron rations or icy mushrooms or chokidai jerky,
then put the sandwich ABOVE your other food in inventory to get those stats. Set gina timers for 'you cant possible eat' and force feed yourself as needed or move the sandwiches back behind the othe long duration food.

Do you even play everquest man? This is basic stuff. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You missed the word need. I didn't say stat food was bad. I said you didn't need it, which is true. If you are at a point where your bag slots are full, bag space becomes more important than 50 HP.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

The main problem I have with your Magelo https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_...dmonkforumhero is you are completely relying on https://wiki.project1999.com/Vyemm's_Left_Eye for 25 MR, which is dangerous whenever you need to swap to a ranged item. You are also losing that 75 max HP if you unequip it. Not saying you shouldn't have a ranged item stat piece, but my Magelos were designed to show you what your stats look like in the worst situation if you want max resistances. You are at risk of not realizing where all your stats are coming from.

[Solist]

Ignoring magelo, I don't rely on any one item. I run 320MR on my main kiting class for fear/zlandi/vaniki/kland. On the monk somewhere around 235 I found has been adequate. I'd like more sure, but it's adequate.

As for that item, you never need to unequip a range item. Before the projectile even lands the 'real' range item is back in. You never, ever have permanant range items in range. Mouse a jav into range slot, hit range attack, mouse range item back in. It's a <1 second operation. You don't run around with a jav or shuriken equipped for 20mins waiting to throw it at something. You use wands for that.

There isn't a situation you remove the range item for a projectile for more than that time in the game of everquest, in this expension/content range. Maybe later on in the game you unequip slots for some reason, shuriken from time maybe?

And again Do vissar is about having a permanant worn spell gem 1 instaclick always up.
Grim aura or firefist are buff 1. Start fighting they get overwritten by celestial tranquility. End fighting, click grim aura/firefist back on. Not to do with stats.

Even when running around kiting you're constantly being dispelled like a vaniki pull. You want to be able to spam 4 to 5 self instant buffs on to protect a deeply buried sow. (and speaking generally here about warriors too as there's knowledge for them to share) Tanking glimmers (or sontalak) in ToV you want to use equipped/worn, non targeted insta clicks so items like AoN, 10th ring, feshlak BP, monk epic, tunare belt, lady nev cloak are valuable beyond any lacking stats they may have. There's a lot of value in having those items beyond what seems like a rando clicky.

Still jav pd? One few times I'd think you'd use one, clicks work otherwise.

[Solist]

Can click from door or bow/jav. But it's a bard race that one, doubt a monk or rogue has done an initial pd in 5 years. Bards move so fast that stopsong and wand is faster than 250 jav from 250 as you close the gap and wand before the projectile.

But picking up a loose dragon from max range absolutely.

Edit: I don't bard a lot, did for 2nd time in a decade last month. might bard again in 2030.
