I want to play a monk, but I am learning they are not top dps. I currently have a rank of priest on my 93 cleric,priest,diev2 build.
Should I reroll and take cleric2 so I can take healing roles if need be to get on teams?
Also should I do any dex allocation or focus only on Str as my damage stat?
Yep, you should either go Cleric > Priest > Priest >Priest > Monk, for slightly better team support.
Or go Cleric > Cleric > Diev > Diev > Monk for slightly more DPS. Those are the only two decent Monk pre-builds.
I prefer the priest route for better team support. But each to their own.
Yeah, I got to thinking that blessing alone does not scale well at all in late game while heal 10 will always be helpful.
Any thoughts on Str vs str/dex?
Nope, can’t confirm either one.
More STR with a dash of DEX is the current popular belief right now.
Ratio for STR:DEX? dunno XD
All I did was invest heavily into strength at the beginning, then once about level 100 I started to rain it back in.
Right now I have about 30 points in Con, 70 in Dex, rest in Strength. I’m 188 at the moment though.
On the heal front I actually think rank 10 Mass Heal is better than heal in the late game. Since it’s percentage based, where as heal is based on spirit/intellect.
Either way though both are viable of course. But I definitely find Mass Heal infinitely more useful than heal. That said I only have rank 5 heal for obvious reasons.
But yeah spam most of your points on strength, for easy earlier leveling. Then bring dex & con inline later.
i am thinking cleric C2 -> priest C2 -> monk c3 is also not bad. more heal and divine might can spread the skills more
