Monk Build request

Whats a good Monk build? should I go all dex for now too?

cleric2 priest2 “monk1” oracle1 kabbalist1 inquisitor

highest dex as possible

a bit of con if u feel need it

**1-50con for max hp, weight limit(for stamina pot carrying), block

So, I’m building a Monk right now.
At this time he’s level 230 and I chose the Cleric 2 > Diev 2 > Monk 3 path. It’s a pretty cool build, and a fun PvE or PvP class.

I followed this guide, at the beggining:

I just don’t recommend going full dex on a Monk build. STR is the core of your skills and some atributtes (like Bleeding, for Palm Strike) increases with STR. I recommend the 1:0.5:2 (STR:CON:DEX) distribuition.

Not sure yet what turn at rank 8… Lot of people go for Inquisitor but I don’t think it’s a good match for a Monk. Idk, Inquisitors seems much more like a natural evolution for Paladins.
Probably I’m gonna wait turn rank 8 until receive answers about the “Lama” hidden class, or I’m gonna get Diev 3.

My main character is a Monk/Inquisitor, i dont know if this help you but this is his brief history:

  • The original build was:
    Cleric C1>Priest C3>Monk C3; STR/DEX 1:1
    Then at level 280, I reset to Full STR

  • When R8 patch came, i leveled it up to 330, reset to Full DEX and take Inquisitor as R8:
    Cleric C1>Priest C3>Monk C3>Inquisitor C1 ; Full DEX

  • When class reset voucher came, i reset it again to my actual build:
    Cleric C2>Priest C2>Monk C1> Kannushi>Oracle C1>Inquisitor C1; Full DEX
    Is a strong and flexible build for PVE/PVP.

I have two Monk characters:

Cleric 2>Diev 2>Monk 2>Oracle 1>Inquisitor 1
Cleric 2>Diev 2>Monk 3>Inquisitor 1

They were both full Dex. I left them both with reset skills/stats from the level up chest event, as I thought they were trash.

I recently picked them up to level to 317 to get the Mystical boxes and for the impending combat changes and resets they come along with.

They are both now full Str with Con coming from equipment, and they do so much more damage… My Carve attack can do 10k+ x5 on the Breaking Wheel and Double Punch normal around 10k x2

I was utterly underwhelmed with Dex and Monk, because they are Physical Attack dependent skills as they multiply damage from your overall Physical Attack.

But yeah, I only do PvE.

main damage is inquisitor skill

monk is just a double punch as filler and strike debuff thing

even pear + r7 pretty much out damage monk skill on many bosses

atleast until combat change patch come to itos

When people say full str. Do you guys realize that right now, with full str you get TOP about 720 total damage… Weapon at stage 7 give about 3k… Going full dex makes so much more sense. Specially with yellow gems and priest in the build…

Idk about you, but 10k on dp is not as high as you think… I crit 90% of the time and hit 20-32k each hit…

Now full Dex and some Con, after Ktos patch full Str and some Con
