I have a cleric 3 pala 1 and my smite can go wayy over 100k on demon/mutant. I have been playing monk since launch and was one of the first inquisitors on the server and it’s still to date one of my favorite builds.

Smite is super fast with high dex and is very useful as a filler in ET. It’s still not the best choice, but definitely not a bad one. It’s also a really fast knockdown in pvp.

Turn undead = remove r7 from the entire enemy team with very low damage. Resist elements can sometimes save you from those cryos, but lvl 5 is honestly too low to be that great.

I’m about to make a monk 3 - taoist because have nothing else to do and have a skull smasher sitting around so i’ll let you know how bad it sucks lol.

well, i see your point, but I still think that not for pvp other choices are better.
I have also been playing since launch if that matters anyway (since iCBT1). and pala was never an obvious choice for monk.

I do agree that for PvP it is a very nice choice. but for solo play and ET it is not the best

#37

What about bracelets? For PvE would Phada be BiS or Gladiator Band is better for wheel + glass mole combo? Can someone explain to me how AoEAR works with Wheel? Thanks in advance. :innocent:

#38

It seems that wheel hits everything. There is no need for aoe attack ratio there. But, gladiator bands give 16 str each. And that is a huge patck boost

my cl2-diev3-monk3 is still ok after all the rebalance patches. Not as great as monk3-inquis, but still good enough to dps and utility. For some reason, I’m struggling with my damage as it seems to be stronger pre-rebalance even with the same gear and now heavily invested on STR. Idk what I’m doing wrong. LOL.

#40

damage formula has changed and hence the curve for damage has changed.
Now trascendance has bigger impact on your damage, along side with weapon refine.
What weapon are you using?

for me stage 7 (+10) vinezaris mace does more damage now than it did pre balance (at least on monk skills for sure)

Monk Energy blast looks cool and strong and desciption makes it godlike. But in reality - 2k dmg per hit <— wtf?

#43

How many skill points did you put in Energy Blast?

#44

Your gear sucks.

I have 6. N 0 attribute, it still does 12k damage per hit

#46

I am still waiting for a monk build for pvp that surpass Cleric 2 > Diev 3 > Oracle > Kabbalist > Inquisitor.

I really am, my love for monks would be so pleased

#47

I am surprised no one has mentioned Cleric2>Priest2>Monk2>Plague Doctor1>Inquisitor (It is what I run)

I know some people might not consider Monk2 a monk build, but the survivability of having Healing Factor with everything else in this kit makes PvE amazingly easy if not overkill, and while the Monk skills are amazing and only get better in Monk3, my own personal opinion is that making your weapon better+some attributes can make up for it (except Golden Bell Shield of course)and in PvP it gives you an extra edge to lean on since there really isn’t any gap closers for us clerics besides possibly Out of Body out of Sadhu, all the Status Effect Immunity/Resistance helps in that department, only foreseeable downside is if Lama is monk 3 req and amazing, RIP this build, only seen a few others besides myself running this build, I believe it is more PvP oriented, lemme know your thoughts

#48

this build is good. and is considered a monk build, however anything not monk3 is not meta anymore. But I did test most builds with monk2s when reset was in, and i must say this is a good build.

You are right, it is mostly for PvP. I do has a cleric2-bokor2-monk3-pd1 that I am leveling still. PD is a nice addition

I just love the Healing factor, couldn’t bring myself to go monk 3 and sacrifice basically never dying for more damage as far as PvE goes, basically turns the game into ez mode and taking inquisitor helps in that it makesup the dmg loss from not having monk 3 somewhat

#51

Ya energy blast is junk pre 315 weapons, but with a 315 weapon and some attributes it does good damage even at monk 2 rank 5, any skill that doesn’t have an aoe attack ratio is amazing, breaking wheel is another one, weapons are a huge deal now since the big patch

#52

With priest 2 you got revive. Cleric 2 gives safety zone with 40 hit counts. Not sure healing factor is that needed but it is not the less nice.

You are missing monk3 costume by not going monk 3. There is that

#53

Ok, guys, i just wanted to say this here, i will no longer be updating this thread. I decided to stop playing this game for now. I will keep checking forums, but as far as my own input goes, i am done. Ease feel free to repost this, if someone else is feeling like this is useful.

Thanks
