I just did some research but couldn't find any good references to post. But if what I found is accurate then monks should be able to get their skill past 201 earlier then 51, so possibly at 40. The other melee classes should be able to get 201+ skill starting at 51 with Kunark.

If someone else wants to dig into it that'd be great, I can't at the moment. I'm 90% sure that its accurate that monks should in fact be able to BW to 70% starting at 40ish (i was wrong earlier) and other melees post 51. Finding a reference from 2000 is the hard part (in order to prove to the devs if this isn't working). I did find one page that was so ugly it certainly LOOKs like its from the year 2000, but couldn't locate a date.

that page states rogues were capped at 175 pre level 50 btw.

this is monk abilities from Monkly Business. they really know their stuff.

note the level 51 skills update... this is also how i recall it

p.s. easiest way to skill it up...

buy lots on bandages and go solo

you'll get xp and can BW in bewteen fights

if you want to exclusively train BW then go smack a mob, then let it hit you till you hit 20% then FD (make sure you can survive 10 more seconds if you fail FD)

bw back up to 50% then hit another mob.

Sitting means you take max damage, so you could do it on green mobs if you wanted too. just sit again after getting smacked

The problem is if it's not working in-game now, you need something with a ~2000 timestamp to prove to the devs that it should be changed.

From what I understand, it's not currently working for warriors/rogues and I'm not sure if monks can do it either.

monks can do it now, could BW to 70% before kunark came out
