C2-DIEV2 About to go C5. Monk vs Druid

I have a stat reset potion, so ignore stat discussion for now.

What do you guys think is better for end game right now? Druid or Monk?

Asking as I don’t think I have the chops to level another character again, and I really want an enjoyable one this time.

Does druid Carnivory hit flying mobs? If not I will likely swing heavily toward monk

Do not hit flying. So, go monk.

Word is that Druid is the way for better dps and more.
Personally going to go monk though, It’s viable and should be fun, but some say it falls a bit short in dmg, w/e :slight_smile:

From what I’ve heard from people I know and others, a lot felt disappointed at what Monk C3 brings. Your heals aren’t as great (unless you took Cleric C2), you don’t have resurrection, and you get outdamaged by almost every class in dungeons. They felt that they weren’t providing as much as DPS or support as every other class.

You should go around and ask more Monks for their opinions though.

The only thing I can see Monk excelling at is PVP.

Also, Druid is C6

Yeah, if I pick druid, I will go Diev3 next circle instead of monk.

Yeah, all the discussion I am seeing on the forums is that monk is disappointing.

I really hope I make the right choice as I can’t see myself level up again.

you cant really go wrong with druid… but imo you should pick what style you would like, because monk may be a tad disappointing when you compare, but if you like to fight up close for consistent damge or fire beams then even if it doesnt do as much damage, it’s still good enough to keep.

Also, monk isn’t nec better at pvp, druid can use telepath which assures damage if you have stuff set up.

monk is fun for sure even tho dps aint the best but here it the catch the range on double punch is awefuly small even when my face is kissing the target my fists stil cant hit it, this problem is a main issue against bosses and larger enemies and dp is your main source of damage also palmstrike and hand knife knock enemies back or up making it less effective in party play exept saving the tank if he gets to manny mobs on him and you got a few sec left on heal/safety zone

druid on the other hand may not be able to hit flying mobs but brings some decent/good aoe damage or support

monk isnt best dmg but it is really strong.
most of the ppl that say monk isnt too good are only monk c1, monk c2 is way better, one inch and enegry are the better skills.

For end game, Druid definitely. More damage and more utility if you follow it up with PD at r7. Druid c2 is great too, with Sterea Trofh and more carnivory damage, transformation is also fun and have lots of utility.

To be honest, choosing a Monk is up to your discretion, and you should really only choose to do so when you really enjoy the class theme and would like to see how the Monk would progressively get better in the future. Monk seems to be the target of a lot of buffs from IMC in kTOS atm, so I’m guessing they’re planning to fix its gigantic flaws as a class in a whole. It’s best to have low expectations with endgame content with a Monk though.

I am 266 right now and based in my experience grindding and pvp (GVG in open world) Druid is way better as support or dps (deppending in your previous circles and stats ofc). And to be honest, I don’t really like to take Monks in party… I do if they ask and we don’t have a 5th member, but I will pick a Druid over a Monk always since Druid bring better utility and more DPS.
