Monk v.s. Warrior

With or without a Fungi, a Human is faster if you know what you're doing. People underestimate the impact of a 20% XP penalty and overestimate the practical benefit of Regen. A few extra standing Regen per tick (which is what matters, not sitting Regen, because you're bandaging to 75% between kills, not sitting) is not enough of an advantage for the Iksar to kill 5 mobs for every 4 the Human kills. That's also assuming non-stop killing, which is rarely the case when soloing anyway (indeed, people solo a Monk largely to avoid the frenetic, non-stop pace of pulling for an XP group).

Wrong. Sitting regen with Fungi at Level 51 = 20 per tick, for Iksar it's 27. That's 35% more regen between pulls, but lets say 30% in total since not sitting all the time. That is already enough to make up for the exp penalty. Then on top of that the Iksar regen gets even better at Level 56 and they have an AC boost. They will level faster, while also being just straight up better.

I was curious what mend on cooldown would add; looks like 1 hp/tick per 240 total hp.

So if you are in the 2kish hp ballpark at 51 we're talking 8 hp a tick. So counting mend the 51 iksar gets 25% more regen sitting, 16% standing.

If I choose monk, its going to be human 100%

However I have another predicament. i'm wondering if I should even twink the warrrior/monk because it would be gear dependent and I wouldnt fully understand the class and will look like a fool at higher levels in groups due to inexperience.

Should I just save my plat or just twink the shit out of my char?

[skulldudes]

you can learn the nuance of a class whether you're twinked to the gills or making your own patchwork and tarnished

you can also get all the way to 60 and still suck. gear doesn't matter in this regard, just conscious effort.

ive definitely seen a ton of bad monk twinks

[Vexenu]

A fully twinked Monk will basically face roll to the low 50s so it's common to see a lot of bad ones. I would do light/modest twinking and then around 45-50 decide if you want to invest more in the character, then go all out with Fungi/T-staff/CoF if you want to keep soloing. But just an FBSS and some modest weapons is more than sufficient to allow for soloing while also not making you so OP that you're never forced to actually learn and play around the limitations of the class.

kinda depends on how fast you want to level

could grab a bunch of real cheap EC gear to start (wu's, etc) and just see if you like it

do you have a fungi?

twinking is relative to ones bankroll

there is nothing to learn until 60, and deep into it.

Most 60 monks are bad at eq.
Most 60 wars are bad at eq.

Some of the best geared tanks and monks on this server are pretty bad at eq still.

Auto attack things and enjoy it if that’s what you enjoy.
