You are scared of the power of archers!

The problem is you think only in terms of the single issue of "who does more DPS in a situation where they have a healer or tank sitting there".

But the game is far more than that! Snaring things on an enchanter! Off healing to help save someone! Rooting and backing up! Archering a caster mob from further than it can cast!

I would go against any equal level monk in our ability to solo stuff. I could kill things far stronger than they could dream of with my bow, easily.

Also! For the record! I got my dragons bow at about level 46! Completely level appropriate!

monk is without a doubt the best melee in the game

shadow knight is without a doubt the worst melee in the game

We are talking about soloing here. I know you are a bit bitter about SKs raping you repeatedly on red bro that they trigger you, but try to read the actual OP an engage your tiny brain before you post.

monk vs SK is actually an incredibly one sided matchup in the monk's favor

my monk can solo things an SK would never come close to soloing

Are all 6k of your posts so incredibly mindbogglingly stupid and detached from reality?

Don't listen to all the nobodies in this thread, Colgate is a top tier player and he knows what he's talking about. All of the players saying SK's are good soloers are trash can players who shouldn't be listened to.

SK's can only solo in outdoor zones for depressingly slow EXP. Some of the worst in the game. They can technically solo but it's a joke.

Monks have far superior avoidance, mitigation, DPS and less downtime. You will kill mobs quicker and spend less time between them, and you can solo indoor zones. Find a priest to roll with and you get some of the best EXP or farming in the game without needing a group.

Roll iksar, start leveling bind wound ASAP, and make it your #1 priority to acquire a fungi tunic as soon as possible.




Ranger bow kiting is a comedy joke that only works in outdoor zones. Paladin root jousting is a joke. Rogues can't solo level appropriate mobs. Warriors can only solo with gear & a fungi later on and downtime is massive. SK's take 5 years to kill anything and can only solo in outdoor zones.

i actually like shadow knights more than any other class from a design perspective but the reality is monks are ludicrously overpowered in this era and they only get much better with the october 2001 patch

agree, even though monks certainly have less "tools" at their disposal than an SK, their raw power simply outclasses them at everything including soloing. an SK solos by fear kiting in wide open outdoor areas slowly plinking mobs to death over the course of 15 minutes. monks smash it to death in seconds and bind wound/iksar/fungi regen back to full in a minute.

harm touch is cool but i'm assuming OP is playing on blue. harm touch is the only reason to ever play an SK, and if you're on blue then there's no reason to play an SK.

All these people talkin about monks are talking about their twink monks with crazy equipment and fungi :P
