AA's are post-Luclin.

i remember Monks becoming able to solo 1-60 with Kunark. is that just because Iksar monks are leet? or were other things changed with how much they attack/how much they take?

Melee weaponry scales a lot higher in Kunark. Even with weapons as cheap as fighting batons or knuckle dusters, monks start becoming beastly in terms of damage - even at lower levels, and combined with their very good damage mitigation and avoidance, mend, and good bandaging skills, makes them excellent soloers. It will become relatively cheap to decently twink a monk in Kunark.

And, as has been mentioned, the fungi tunic is insanely good.

IF this server is true to classic, Fungis will be dropping like WATER for
the first several months after Kunark releases..

Of course the devs here like to handpick what they do/don't include so we'll see.

Everything they have said and more. If you are able to score a Fungi tunic, it's like having Chloroplast on you at all times...but better. Tranq Staff is 29/30 with a 1-12 second unresistable 120DD stun. Just a LOT of nice monk weapons come out in Kunark, so we can stop just using our bare fists.

Also, 201+ bind wound lets you bandage to 70% and for 100hp+ a pop, use this with mend and bang, you're @ 95%hp every 6 minute refresh on mend.

Do Bards get any better in Kunark?

In terms of grouping, bards become decidedly weaker. We get only one new mez in Kunark which caps at mobs of level 55, and no new charm song. This means in areas with 56+ mobs, like lower sebilis, we have no viable form of crowd control.

Aside from minor upgrades to our haste, regen, and resist songs, Kunark only brings a few utility additions to the bard class.

Personally, I'm dreading the 55+ grind on this server where everyone is so hyper-aware of the 40% hybrid penalty.

...

Uthgaard said that there will be no level caps on any mezzes in Kunark. Is this inaccurate, classically?

heh, yes, extremely inaccurate for bards and enchanters. Level 56+ mobs were immune to most stuns, including mezzes, with a few notable exceptions. The cleric stun line should not work on mobs 56+, dazzle will not work 56+, bard mez will not work 56+, whirl, color stuns, etc all useless on mobs 56+.

I remember this clearly, as healing mobs like Myconid Adepts were very annoying when you didn't have an enchanter with GoK to interupt their cheals.

Enchanters get glamour of kintaz at level 54, a relatively high mana cost mez compared to dazzle. It allows them to mez mobs up to level 57, but the spell is 125 mana for only 9 ticks - 36 seconds. This is what is used on juggs in sebilis, on mobs in the upper islands of air, etc.

At 59 enchanters gain Rapture, an unresistable mez that works on mobs up to level 61. Rapture lasts 7 ticks (42 seconds) and had a recast of 24 seconds, meaning you were restricted to mezzing one mob at a time in most cases if those mobs were 58+.
