Monk dont have much hp… dont have mobility … and the most powerfull atq… is channeling… Monk have cure… and other buffs if you have in your path…
BOTH have durability… monk because of heal… barbarian because of atributes, armor, and hp …
I go with Barbarian =)
and these videos is sooooooo old D:
everything has changed!
Old but gold. 
Alots of nice stuff there…
and the vídeos of steparu … he fights againts low lvs =(
you are so negative. Just like… this about monk game play and your crying because the old, now he fight against lowlvls… plz just watch
Barb’s have higher base HP. But it’s not a significant difference until you reach higher levels.
And Monks have a lot of HP if you stat CON. There is enough reason to do so.
Heal gives +10% max.HP heal.
Mass Heal gives +38% max.HP
Revive gives +50% max.HP and 10 seconds of invincibility
Barb uses mana for all his spells. He will run out of mana fast.
Monk just switches between mana and stamina usage. No problem there.
If nothing else, the Monk will just out-sustain the Barb.
You can stun the Monk and knock him around if you get close to him. But before you can get close to him, he will just silence you from a distance.
Silence wears off? Cast Safety Wall.
Burst damage incoming? Cast Iron Skin and Golden Bell until CD from the 1 Inch Punch is off. Then Silence again.
But that’s all stuff that you could theoretically still overcome. As long as you out-DPS the Monk, you have a fair chance at winning.
The actual problem you face is if: The Monk picked up the Stone Skin spell from the Priest tree. Once he casts it, you are nothing but prey on the run for the Monk for exactly 35 seconds.
Well, that sure sounds like a fun match-up to be in.

Yea, I was looking at this too. A Monk with decent CON and enough DEX and STR to match a Swordie class with Stone Skin and Iron Skin will eat faces…
Very similar to a melee character from the MMO “ArcheAge” that takes up Battlerage and Defense and casts both Redoubt and Urgency at the same time.
~30 second of nope.
Sir there’s no such thing as a better class.
What do you prefer as a gamer? do you like a character that can smoothly kill monsters PVE or more PVP oriented class etc. yada yada.
I’ve been there before where I tend to try all of the classes what happened to me? I can’t decide what main character I want all I do is make and make and make a character before and really didn’t get really powerful main characters when I was a kid when RO started around year 2003.
Then I matured I stick to my character and preferred class and then I excel in the game.
What happen to me before is everytime I see a much more better character I tend to switch to another class like you don’t like that to happen to you haha.
That’s the pre-nerf monk. He used divine might to increase the damage of kamehameha to insane amounts, one of the reasons divine might got nerfed to begin with.
Any class can be the strongest, depends on how you build it and how strong your gear could be.
Doesn’t mean there isn’t a better alternative if you look at it objectively, sure your own preferences should influence the decision, but outright proclaiming there exists a perfect balance between classes is in 99% of cases just plain wrong,
you thinkk that all monks will have mp??? will have mass heal? @_@ … monks are not SUP
And there some skill to blast the monk away from the sz =)
And what skills do you mean exactly?
Korean MMO developers definitely have a thing for monks. It’s always OP as fk. Just remember monk in RO with instakill combos.
Energy blast is not so OP . But Double Punch is still very good

Just cause you have a heal in your list of skills doesn’t mean you need to be a support.
Many Priest spells scale well with SPR. But these heal spells scale with your max.HP, so they indirectly scale with your CON too.
I just pointed out why this match-up is in favor of the monk. But when you think further, then with these skills of the Priest the Monk class can make some pretty nasty builds in group play more so than just in a 1v1 match-up against a puny Barb. The Mass Heal as well as the Stone Skin are buffs for the entire party for example. Not enough that they are strong as a single target spell already, but they also work for your team.
I would indeed consider this OP. But it has less to do with the Monk and more with those Priest skills. The monk just happens to be the lucky benefitor of some extremely gud synergy with those priest spells.
Monks are gud alright xD
Honestly, Monks have one of the best synergies currently - which is nice because you get rewarded for levelling up a character that’s relatively bad until you actually hit into monk.
I wish they had something like this in the archer tree.
Asking which class is better between two classes is like asking what is better between Muffins and Cookies. And do you know what’s the answer? The answer is what mood you are in the time you ask yourself this question, cause sometime you’ll want muffins, and sometimes you’ll want cookies.
