Monk Build Help!

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hey guys, I have never played cleric and evolutions before but I want to create a Monk as a alt character and I need some advices.

I’m a archer player, so I don’t understand too many things about the class but from what I read on other topics I would like a build like this:

  • Cleric > Priest 2 > Rank 4 > Monk 3

I saw some build with Diev but I don’t like it playstile. For rank 7 I’m open to Plague Doctor but it will need a good reason to not get Monk 3 haha’

What I can’t decide is this rank 4. I was looking for Priest 3, Cleric 2, Paladin and Sadhu (I know it is based on INT, but the bonus evasion + def decrease and OoB Auto Attack + DB spam at same time looks really cool -)

I’m not to sure about is the weapon too, Sword (Falchion maybe) or Mace? It’s better to use a Arde Dagger or a BeetleBack?
And it’s better to use plate for the stamina or letter for the evasion?

I looking for a DPS build so I hope you guys can help me with this doubts =D

Thanks!

cleric2>diev2>monk 3 would be better if you want more damage options and -12 second cooldown for energy blast, plus laimas slow on enemy to make one inch punch easier

cleric>pries3>monk 3 is what it seems like you want to do becuase u dont like dievs playstyle, its more for support, because end game you will probably never use priest skills except for when your in a party (except maybe revive)

priest3 is more if you want to support in parties, if you do this build, in dungons people will expect you to support more than damage, so be prepared to keep up the buffs. diev is more if you want better options and an easier time.

I am currently a Cleric -> Priest 3 -> Monk 2.
For being a Priest 3, you are pretty much set to support and off dps.
meaning, keep up buffs, use monk bleeds/debuffs/double punch a bit. Repeat.

Priest 3 is more buff oriented
Another possible build would be Cleric 2 -> Priest 2 -> Monk
where you get the benefit for more heal/safety zone.
This build is more stable when it comes to keeping people up with heals but lacks higher levels of revive, mass heal. and missing stone skin so there are some trade off between these 2 builds…

Just so you know, Monk (to me at least) is a support class with a bit of dps. Don’t expect to be dealing as much dmg as the other classes cause… you won’t. The class is mainly jack of all trades(dps/support/substain) but can’t do much at the same time because you have the versatility but not a primal job.

Edit: As for Diev, I have no idea how they are but I heard they have very good utility for late game since it reduces CD, silences, etc… As for Priests, their skills kinda falls off late game because a lot of their skills are base numbers but no good scaling. Best thing about them are mainly Mass heal and Revive IMO.

The 5 heal tiles x 2 are pretty much useless end game it will heal only 1 person it will not even fully heal a 40k hp… How about mass heal? Yah you can heal all but with out any cc from you party? U dont have any more utility sz is only 10 block and pretty much a trap if all the mobs attack there insta death whoever is inside. Mobs in 200++ grinding spot has 99k - 130k+++ hp who has an aoe damage of 1.2k-6k… Not to mention some are magical

lol and how is cleric 2 better? you maybe 2 more seconds of standing in the protective zone, and the squares are pointless when you are a monk fighting close to the boss no where near the ranged dps, mass heal is a more reliable heal and maxed revive/ressurection seems much better than anything cleric 2 has, who even cares about stoneskin when you can just revive all dead people to 50% health and auto revive them anytime you feel like

#6

Have you tried that in end game content? Level 260+++?? How can you ressurect if you cannot heal up your party because of those heal tiles? (Meaning they died and mobs are still there) 5x2 you cannot even fully heal a 30k hp… Yah you have revive 10 sec invicibility now how often can you pop that out? Now regarding sz its 10 blocks vs 60 blocks usually in end game grinding people always go into the sz especially if they know its 60 block… 10 blocks is useless 2 people go inside with mobs is a suicide… Especially if mobs hits for 1.4k - 6k not mentioning some uses range magic and they have 99k -130k++ hp and its aoe.

im not saying its impossible to level but as an only support they need to catch up in your cd and getting another support will lower the exp/hour.

well if you can find a good party who cc a lot thats good. but you know you cant always have a fix party unless you have friends.

imo, monk build isn’t supposed to be the only support/healer in a party, it’s more of a secondary healer to help out with that, able to cover if the healer is incapacited. and dishing out some damage at the same time.

I agree with you @Windful , in my opinion it is supposed to be a secondary healer. Your focus still being DPS.

So what about Sadhu and Paladin for rank 4? Any information about it?

#9

sadhu works with Int, and one rank of Paladin doesn’t offer much at all for a monk. That’s the concensus, but it’d be interesting if someone found a way to make them work… somehow (pretty unlikely tho).

#10

@Windful Found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHEiVowEfw

Sadhu + Monk | Looks pretty cool for me, he have Plague Doctor but I think I would keep my monk 3.

#11

I’m actually cleric/ Priest c3/ Monk c2 imo if you’re going PvE get cleric c2. The heal 10 is good and safety with 40 blocks is god mode.

My Build is pvp so i prefer to have revive and blessing maximized. I also don’t think cleric c2 safety would be a thing for pvp so…

Now, I just don’t know if i should go monk c3 or plague doctor :confused:
What do you guys think? It seems rank 8 is going to be lama (str class).

Please ignore the equipment part! I still dunno what to use >.<’

#12

Sadhu’s atk was nerfed since then, you wont be able to have as much damage from the pincer, by quite a bit. But it’s the first video I saw of that, it looks cool :smiley:

#13

People have been speculating about Lama quite a bit. But you know what? there’s absolutely no facts about it being str or related to monk (and as someone pointed out, llamas are the kinds of monks that don’t do violence), not to say they won’t do that for the game tho :stuck_out_tongue:

Your build is good. You don’t need as many points in Blessing (5 points only adds 20 dmg points), you could put some of that into resurrection or aspersion. in example.
and… there’s no point in putting 2 points in hand knife (the attribute talks about lvl2, but it means attribute lvl2, not the skill lvl2)
-that’s about it :slight_smile:

[/quote] O.O’ (hopefully i saved a reset potion to put sacrament lvl 1)

Yeah, i think i’ll put the points on aspersion cuz blessing is also meh for late game.

The thing is: I dunno if monk c3 improvements worth and if plague doctor support skills would be better. I also thought that i should get monk c3 cuz of rank 8. I really need to research more now :confused:

BTW you saved my build, thanks a lot.

#15

cool :slight_smile:

it’s actually a bit of a tough choice for me too, because if monk c3 would be needed for Llama, then that takes off that option for r8 :/. But I can’t be making a decision on speculation, so my personal choice will be for plague doctor. The thing is that monk c3 is really better damage, the only reason I want PD is for other reasons.
The support skills are good but it’s almost a bit overkill when you have priest (you already have revive and all that). But in pvp being able to stave off statuses (including freeze) should be pretty valuable…

#16

I don’t particularly like Monk c3. For any PvP build, I think PD is way superior in every way. All you get from Monk c3 is a better kamehameha(which is nice I guess) and a better 1 Inch Punch, but your overall DPS stays the same.
I’m currently playing a Diev c3/Monk c1(OMW to c2!) and Diev is a really good choice, for both pve and pvp, especially if you go for c3.
And yeah, I really don’t recommend Krivis/Sadhu, they really don’t do much for you at the end of the day.
I also agree that a Monk should be filling in the role of a Utility Support in a party and not being the only healer, something that a Diev does really good at! :smiley:
