All monklords out there heed my call

Hi!
i am a returning player and i need some help regarding class comp for monk. ALSO fyi i still at lvl171 so this and since there’s an free resets everyday(too lazy to experiment due to lack of time playing these game) i am preparing a DECENT dps type monk that can solo and do well in party.

I’ve red other guides about new path for monks specially to those who focuses on damage while having a decent set of defensive skills and so far these is what i thought would be my route.

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Saying hi to all Monk lords out there heed my call.

Hi!

Welcome back.

Here is some changes to skills I suggest (not have to do it, but I will justify things below):

I like carve attack, and also it allows you to carve attack your own wheel to get some wood (just a fun thing to do)

Reasoning for fad5 SZ 9 over fade4 vs sz10: 2 more seconds of fade is amazing. 2 more hits on safety zone is not needed

Otherwise this build is what I run.
And I have not had issues in neither party play nor solo.

for solo you got 20 seconds of fade, silence tree, safety zone, knock backs.

You can also put 1 point into energy blast for additional aoe knockback.

cheers

Thank you so much.

tbh it’s my 1st time making diev so i totally don’t know much about it aside from the teleportation statue :stuck_out_tongue:
anyway i didn’t bother putting any points in cure so that i can max bot fade and SZ, carve does not give much wood and since i can buy that on diev master i don’t think carve:enhance mastery will be much of use.

stat wise i go 100 dex full str and so far (without proper gear) it seems i don’t deal that much damage. Is full dex on monk not really viable ?

I pretty much agree with @Kostik but some little changes according to my gameplay and why:

SZ 10, every hits counts specially if party step on the safety.
Fade 4 is more than enough, most of the times is to avoid aggro during cooldowns.

I don´t like Carve at all on a Monk build, not even for the attribute, you just buy 10k of each wood and leave it on storage, is not expensive and is faster.
Vakarine to lvl 2 cause I usually play with two mates but lvl 1 works too.
Zemyna, remaining points, extra SP recover is not bad but is more to tank

Iron skin no use yet, GBS maybe lvl 1 for pvp but no use on pve

MM over Pears for the debuff wich improbes your damage. After pacth pears lost it use, lvl 1 or none ( I don´t use it)

Stats: Dex 100-150, rest STR. I tried Full DEX and Full STR, the first one your damage is too low and you can consume your stamina and pills (I have around 60) and still didn´t kill anything.

Dex dilemma depends on your gear.
pretty much at 367 stat points. difference on my ping (which is 50-70) for 20 double punches is:

0 dex = 12 seconds
367 dex = 9 seconds

however, 228 dex is 9 seconds as well…
so this was my last night test. Now I leave my dex at 228 and rest goes to STR

difference between 167 str and 367 str (i have invested 200 points to Dex and got the other 30 with gears: max peta and leather things) is not that big.

At the end of the day, i agree with @Teifu that playstyle dictates what you use and what you don’t use. I like punching faster, because it gives me personally higher DPS (due to gears, buffs, etc).
Someone with a different setup might get higher DPS by going STR and focusing on attack power.

I like Yellow (my favorite color) so i like crits in this game.a lot. so my builds are always centered around critical strike and that.

You can focus on Physical Attack and go more str and that will yeld same, if not greater in some cases result,
It all depends.

Also to note, for stamina consumption, you might want to consider making a scroller for yourself.
Mine is my ex PD that I decided not to play anymore (lvl 330) which is now a cleric 1 - kriv 1 -priest 1- diev 3 -oracle - Pardoner.

reasons being:
kriv 1 - diano scrolls, aukuras scrolls
priest 1 - moonstrance scroll
oracle 1 - arcane energy scroll
diev 3 - Bavarian looking costume for diev 3.

Arcane energy 5 scrolls give you 30 (or 35 do not remember) staming for 30 minutes (if used in squire basecamp it is an hour).
So, if you have a squire and a scroller, you can really take advantage of 5k silver for bonus stamina for an hour.

Hope it will help:
