Level 31 Monk - non twinked

No haste item?

I've been thinking of making a melee alt. Have a wizard main and a low level mage I was leveling, but its too similar. Started a rogue but they are basically group dependent and I've been out of group-mode so long I don't even know where to go. I want to avoid hybrids, though ranger intruiges me a bit (just a bit). I did SK on live for 10 years and don't want to do that again... So I am thinking of making a monk myself...

Can I basically get a FBSS and go?

If you only have the 12ish k to spend on your monk, I assume that it could be better spent than on a fbss and nothing else. At least spend a couple thousand on some decent weapons and wu's and jewelry, and then worry about the fbss once you can make that money back or if you get lucky and find a great deal for one.

Nope, probably won't be able to afford an FBSS until my 40's. Levels 1-20 I just used my hands. Then I was able to afford a Wu's Quivering Staff. Them Dark Elf guards didn't stand a chance! As for whether or not you get an FBSS, it's your call, I personally would spend 1500 and get a full set of Wu's, 2 +55 HP rings, and a couple decent 1hb weapons like fighting batons or cane of the tranquil

monk are by far the best solo melee class and THIS is why i think so.
1) They tank well
2) They dps well
3) they can FD, which means ofc less death but also more exp because they can gamble more on if they need to lose agro or not.
4) they can mend and i think you can still zone to refresh mend
5) they can bandiad up to 75%
7) can interupt spells
8) become a highly needed part of raids and groups and high end
9) are badass
10) if you can afford a tranquill staff the DD/stun proc make it own
11) don't have the exp pen that say an SK or pal would

not that one

As an SK, you can fear kite in solb at the long hallway at the window room, effectively from level 40 basically to 50 if you want.

Still, you'll see monks kill stuff non stop like 3x as fast.

Well I already got a lvl 30 magician, and I started a monk to play with my GF (but I'm not supposed to play when she's not there, so we can lvl together), so I was looking for something different. As a mage I feel like I don't play a vital role in a group (although I understand the importance of DPS), and I wanted to try a melee, but I fear playing a warrior because I feel like they rely too much on a group (but I bet they can be pretty fun).

All right let me change my question then: If I already played a magician and a monk, what fun class that is pretty different from them could I try?

there are plenty of dungeons sk's can fear kite in, effectively. ive fear kited in city of mist at temple and the open courtyards. ive also fear kited the lguk lord dar hall. those are just a couple.

the only melee classes that can solo 55-60 efficiently are sk's. paladins can also do 55-60 solo. monks are probably the best from 1-45
