Speed for my double punch is equal to this.
I thought this is max speed actually.
I thought this is max speed actually.
no clue wtf you guys are talking about seriously .
Let me explain it .
First of all , im level 182 . monk c2 .
Running with 220 strenght , 110 dex , and 50 con .
Double Punch attribute is level 15 only ( possibilty to upgrade it to 100 ) .
My build set up is c1 cleric , c3 priest , and eventually monk c 3 .
My double punch hit for 4k . i hit harder if i crit . i run with 80 stamina .
HOW THE HELL DO I HAVE 80 STAMINA??? .
i did all of the + 5 potion stamina hidden quest . im also using the earth plate set level 40 that give me another +10 stamina .
My plate mastery is level 30 .
Right now double punch is level 10 skill , and Energy Blast level 5 .
Since im using the Suncus Maul level 170 ,all my monk damage skill get 2 more level .
So its level 12 double punch and level 7 energy blast .
Now , Energy blast hit for between 2-3k per tick … its litteraly 2k-3k x20 hit every 1 min ( cd on energy blast ) .
Double punch hit hard enough to one shot anymobs weak to strike damage .
YES i cant overkill mobs , but overall i never die , everything is getting done , and i heal dungeons pretty easy with 1 rank in cleric .
Monk is doing pretty ok and i played every stage of the closed beta .
Now , i have 52 ping /latency . With 80 stamina and stamina pills in the bag you can litteraly destroy any dps team that will eventually run out of sp and you will not ( on world boss ). You can get to 100 stamina if you work on it .
My advice here is ‘’ DO NOT TRY THE DEX BUILD ‘’ it will work pretty well under level 130 . pass that level , mobs get more armor and more hp etc etc and dex build is going down . Pure strenght build with 110 crit rate is all you need , which is easily obtain via green crit gem in the weapon and sub weap .
Dont be scared to try Monk . Its fun and the leveling process is a breeze with all of the defensive /healing toolkit you have .

any other advice for build pvp? All i know thats need a lot of CON
for pvp more con and less dex . but keep a minimum of 50 to 75 if you want to hit everything . you can go with less str too if you are more of a support pvp player .

Yep you ruined your character by picking up C1 Paladin anyway. So it’s better you start again regardless.
monk is getting nice buffs to pretty much every skill (patch is live in Korea)
WOW !!! thats a 15% damage there on everything lol.
remember that in kTOS, skyliner still have 0 cd, so its a different balance than here…
this was the max speed, but monk animations got speed up on kToS, and that transferred to iToS
Can you link your skill build and give some vague gearing tips? Thx in advance!

well a crit monk is much better than yours…you have less dex and str is higher. My monk has over 50 points more in dex and doing fine. My dmg is super nice even in Dungeons
I Have Cleric 2, Krivis 2, Pala1 , Monk up to 2
I suggest you to read this topic What's the point of going Monk really?
There a lot of usefull infomation. In two words you can go
- Cleric1>Priest3>Monk3. (I personally don’t like this build.)
- Cleric2>Diev2>Monk3.
Yes you are doing fine right now. I think you are 150~165. Dex build will fall off in late game. High crit res. mobs and you can’t dodge magic. Thats why I did 50/50 and now going for STR and CON. Plus you would do the same amount of dmg with STR but you will do stable damage. When in DEX build you’ll need to rely on crit.
Thank you for the reply. That thread you linked is full of bullshit, those two fighting so it’s hard to find relevant information. OP should make a new one IMO. As for this topic, I’d like to see your skill build if that’s not too much of a trouble.
Well when I lvled monk I expected different thing from this class and screwed up. Right now Im lvling new monk with this build.
But you need to know that I didnt fully test it. What I can tell that PriestC3 route much easier to level up solo.
And here is another one that guy suggested. But I dont agree with this build.
Eh, just the skim the long walls of text I made, you’ll get over it. But even I learned a lot as I argued with him, so if you want the information you might want to dive into the rubbish to find it. Wouldn’t really hurt unless you don’t have much time.
If you want to know, there are only three reliable (and popular) Monk builds Two were already mentioned by @ifellming, while the other is Priest 2 -> Cleric 2.
Others will either be experimental (which I’m hoping to find great results later, like the Krivis->Monk builds I see around here) or will completely screw you over if you deviate a bit from the norm. Well, not like the Monk is already screwed end game anyways…
As a guy who appreciates endgame, I highly recommend C2 Cleric->C2 Diev. The reason why is because Diev has amazing late game scaling buffs, an exemplary debuff and also gives you long range magic damage.
You might be wondering why Carve Owl would be such a good skill for a Monk that has STR, but you should look up as to why STR and INT attack bonuses are extremely poor at the moment, so much so that Wizards are encouraged to go full CON without building any INT at all. Owl Carve will solve most of the Monk’s problems, especially his poor ranged DPS, which will be very important at endgame where using Double Punch is suicide.
Carve Attack will be mostly a leveling ability but it can tend to be useful on the occasion that you’re fighting a plant type monster or you’re out of Stamina. It strangely does a lot of damage even for magic DPS clerics, so I reckon it’s going to hurt even more for Monks.
Carve World Tree supplements a Monk’s melee nature by giving you a chance to attack safely without fear of being attacked and/or killed due to area silence. It’s also unbelievably powerful late game which allows you to disable multiple mobs at once, giving you almost temporary invincibility (doesn’t work on bosses though).
And, in my opinion, the best part is that Diev->Monk builds have a much easier time early game than Priest->Monk builds. Carve Attack is great, and you won’t need to normal attack bosses to death like Priests are forced to do.
Also as a heads up, if you are not going Priest 3, Cleric 2 is mandatory. 10 heal tiles let you support a full party on the occasion that you’re the only single Cleric available, and it’s also staple for any PvP build.
Yeah it’s been pretty easy. Im currently cleric->priest3->monk. Im not sure if I should go cleric2 and finally monk2, and which one to pick first. That second build seems confusing, why take priest1? For the resurrection?
Thanks for the reply. What I do know for sure: I dont like diev, I dont like PvP and I will be playing with my friends most of the time if I ever get to endgame. So I prolly don’t have to worry about getting into dungeons. Any ideas how to build this? Currently C1 Cleric, C3 Priest, C1 Monk.
That’s why I said that I totally disagree with this build. Just wanted to show you another variation of the same way.
If you already got cleric->priest3->monk. I would go with monk further to c3. But this will be more like meh pure damage monk. You won’t be able to heal enough to carry out your team if something would happen. But if you got 5+ Mass heal you should be alright as a healer and dd.
It’s decent enough, you are following a popular build and it’s popular for a reason. Just proceed to Monk c3 and get all necessary skills maxed like Double Punch and Energy blast maxed to optimize damage. Make sure to maximize Blessing attribute if you haven’t yet. Get ready to pour most of y our money into attributes because Monk damage will only start getting noticeable at higher attribute levels.
And although you might be able to get into endgame dungeons like Earth Tower with friends, it would still depend on a specific set-up to progress effectively, and your build (assuming you’re going Monk c3) will probably be deadweight there because Priest buffs aren’t as useful at that stage. But not to worry, it’s not like almost every other Monk won’t have the same experience anyway. So long as you have another Cleric friend with skills that can support you (like a Diev, for example), you’ll still have a decent role in the party.
im so glad right now reading this topic and clone of same topic - “monk is bad, i am c1 monk and i going rerol” its mean only me and not many ppls going to monk c3 and i glad for us.
