Keep in mindy training isnt limited to Cabilis as an Iksar. Example: Brother Zeph in Rathe Mountains will allow you to train. Honestly its not a huge deal..

Additionally, once you get FD at 17 it's not the end of the world if you don't train intimidation (a mostly useless skill it almost never goes off on dark blues these days) eagle strike or tail rake and disarm is useless. You could easily wait until 30 to train again when you have Flying Kick available if you wanted.

getting to field of bone as a druid is super easy. Evac to EJ, then its one zone away. Should take you no more then 10 mins from a dl port.
You can also Bank while fd, so you shouldn't have a problem banking. And sneak you can sell and buy from any merchant in game without a problem.

To me theres no reason to make a human monk, unless for some reason you want to make a human. The iksar is better in every way.

Just remember the ikky regen is only 2 standing up until level 50. Its only 1 more regen then human. Sitting regen is higher also, but again not drastically. Don't expect the regen to be a complete domination over human.

and like others said you can train from brother Z in karanas.

And worst case scenario if you want to train in cab, you need to get an evac then run for 3 minutes to zone line.

You can train anywhere by using sneak

[Frudrura]

Wolf form in west freeport has allowed me to train there as an Iksar Monk.

are iksar monks better? yes
are human monks terrible? no

if you havd a fungi that largely negates the iksar advantage post 50 (iksar still better)
Human monk with adamantite club is still as good as a warrior tank 50+ (excluding disciplines) except for the lack of taunt.

so yes iksar is better (they get racial ac too) but human is still viable

the difference between iksar and human standing regen is 8hp/tick at 60. That takes one minute to regen an additional 80hp for the iksar. With fungi and regrow, that 8hp/tick becomes a smaller % of a difference. 92hp/tick and 100hp/tick vs 1hp/tick and 9hp/tick. Still an 8hp/tick difference but it gets marginalized.

When a mob can hit you for 140dmg and double, that +8hp/tick will take a long time to feel the "advantage"

I think that advantage looks better in certain situations - if you accidentally pull half the 2nd floor in Hate and flop on 5% health, your regen bonus is going to help you recover that bit quicker.

I've got an iksar monk on red (53) and recently made a human monk on blue to test the difference... I think for the most part I'm not going to find any difference [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When you're stranded being the puller or dragging corpse it makes a difference.

So I'm going to slightly derail the thread here, but Froglok Monk? What?

[Deckk]

Yup. New race/class combo on live as of late last year I think.
