Energy Blast does good dmg but what i mean is…the cast time is extremly long and only 1 attack will interrupt the Skill…and if u cast it to 100% and use it it takes extremly long till its end…in that time others or u could do dmg…the whole skill just takes extremly long and so far its only useful when there are many many many mobs next to each other and u just can hope that they dont split while u use it…
And One Inch Punch well the hit alone as strong as 1 hit from Double Punch i think a bit weaker and the DoT dmg it does is Weaker then the DoT Palm Strike does.
And the 12sec u talk about doesen change much…the 60 are enough so that u can use it as often as it is needed to use.
i’am not a fan of the owls because i#am not a fan of setting things up…if u place them u have to be sure that the mobs stay there if they move the could move out of range and u used it for nothing…against Boss i can happen that the boss knocks them away and they hit nothing which is also not cool.
with Dieve u go a more Dmg Build but with Priest u can provide more for your team which can give u and your team more surivability and more dmg because of blessing and sacrament even if it falls off the later the game gets.
Yes, its a weird playstyle. I love monk and I chose diev because it was a different way to play. Besides, I help my party a lot with my statues, world tree silences everyone hehe
And about mobs, if you play solo, you just have to put a statue and all mobs will go to hit it, they wont go away
in the cast time you can be doing more skills, but during the actual skill you will do more dmg than any other.
the duration is 10 seconds, 20 ticks of 1145 base dmg, that will deal way more dmg than than any other thing u can in that itme
and it seems u took preist, which is a bad idea imo.
carve does good dmg, owl is op, laima reduces ur cooldowns by a ton, u can cats energy way more with diev. priest just gives u buffs that will probably fall off end game bcuz u have no spr
Monk is very strong actually I out DPS most Swordie Builds during missions due to Double Punch being Spammable and Because I can stand face to face with Bosses 70% of the time due to safety Zone
Sure you can’t do overkill like most swordie but you make it up for survival and no downtime, I have never seen a cleric sitting on front of bonfire
I took Krivis3 route btw , so While I’m throwing DP I’m also Droping Zaibas on my target buffing up my DPS even further
Energy Blast is holy attack and deals 100% more damage to devil type monsters which consist almost half of the monsters in the game
I did 4k damage per hit (on crit - same level at that time - 120 STR 175 Dex) on a group of Hallowventer Shamans with E Blast
I Never had problems seting up E Blast, Its not that hard to setup since you have access to Safety Zone, If you have High dex with Monstrance that would be easier to setup, and besides you can throw E blast even not fully charged, Wizards have longer cast time and cannot move on some of thier spells,
If you buff up Monks further the swordsman class would completley fall off, the DPS throne of the Swordie was already lost to Archers after icbt2
Monk is trash, it can be good with high attributes, very precise statting, and very good gear.
Anyone that believes anything else, has not seen how much DPS other DPS classes can output.
IMC believes the same thing, that’s why they’ve gotten massively buffed in kToS, we’ll get it eventually.
Is there any way to see the Korean patch notes? if so can you provide me with a link?
You can have your opinion… Or maybe you are just following this new fashion.
I built 2 monks C3. One is Cleric C2>Diev2 and the other is Cleric C1>Priest C3.
Cleric C1>Priest C3 is in my experience the best choice.
Carve is useful as long as you are Diev but then, this skill is just crap. No AOE, stupid animation… Once monk, I only used it for fun or materials. No way I would prefer carve over double punch, hand knife, palm strike or one inch punch.
Owl is OP as long as enemy stays in its range. But in fact, you don’t really use it except for bosses.
World Tree is really nice.
Laima reduces cooldowns? WTF I don’t need this. My main skill has 0 cooldown. There is no way I would prefer Laima over priest buffs.
Other statues are ridiculous.
Diev is just the bad choice in my experience.
Priest C3 = a real 10 sec invicibility / High dex bonus / + 48% physical defense / instant massive heal / and decent block without spr even late game (sure stone skin falls off without spr but it remains a decent defensive skill that prevents a lot of damage)
Diev = ■■■■ for my monk lol

Monk is trash if you go with priest 3, i dont know why people think about this but safety zone > stone skin anyway
You only need priest for monstrance, everything else is pretty meh, especially since you can get the buffs maxed from a shop.
Your opinion is trash since people who go Monk with Priest C3 want better levels in Revive, Aspersion and Mass Heal.
Safety wall is surely a great skill, but it’s also a trap 
What if enemy just go away or push you out?
u dont need this? it reduces energy blase cooldwon by 12 seconds, u would rather sacrafice 50-70 points putting points into spr for priest buffs to not fall off end game?
carve does not fall off due to it being multi hit, vakarine is a really useful skill, and u get cleric c2 also, which is one of the best circles in the game imo
Mass heal, Revive, Aspersion? Are u a support? Better go chaplain
i aggree with the nerdpiggleton guy, only monstrace useful for monk, other are trash, asperion can buy from a pardorner with a cost of 2k > priest c3
im playing a monk with diev c2 and i feel awesome,aggro mobs with lama, AOE dmg with owl(hit like truck without INT), double punch things to death, no need to rebuff every single time and auto attack mobs boring as shiet
all the monk i meet on dungeon/mission who going priest 3 only use auto attack on the boss, and rarely do double punch cause they need to buff and buff and buff every minute, they dont have time to punch or energy blast. Is that sound like a support to you? Meanwhile im just putting the statue to decrease the cooldown by 20% and go to the boss and hit it. Sound better now?
I know cleric the dedicated healer,but only HEAL is ok, and going c2 cleric are the best choice for monk, 20 tiles of heal > mass heal + sacrament + revive + asperion + blessing
im pretty sure you cant outdmg my owl statue with those buffs
You need revive in earth tower. Cant rez with soul gems. Guessing new dungeons down the road will be the same where you cannot rez, once dead your done. Yeah diev is super popular atm since its OP broken with massive support/dps, but cannot rez. Thoughts?
Carve Vakarine? Useless
Zemyna? Useless
Carve attack? Worst attack ever, worst aoe ever, worst animation ever
I put 0 points in SPR and the only buff that falls off is stone skin.
At lvl 256 it is still a decent defensive skill.
Stop repeating stupidity other people say.
Keep on building bad characters if you like it, I don’t mind. It’s your problem. I was just giving my opinion. Do what you want with it but please stop useless Diev fanboys argumentation I already read everywhere in this forum.
I’m pretty sure I can easily evade your owl statue. Or I can kill you by the time you will have built it. Ez job. Safety wall so useless
That’s the best part. You are just telling us how lazy you are and how Diev is better for you in that case. We can understand. It’s the best choice for your playstyle
Sure the zenyma+vakarine is useless, but the carve attack lv 10 do 5000~7000 dmg on leather armor mobs lvl 19x with 3 charges, worst animation? Do you even play dievs bro? You can walk right after the first hit without waiting other 4 hit to come.
And please stop talking about 1 vs 1 PVP, it’s either 5 vs 5 or 3 vs 3, when you realize the important of safetyzone and statues. Ask some dievs to show you the slow rate of laima, when you are on it,you can barely move, how can you run then? Dont tell me you just dont walk in? 1 vs 1 pvp imagination pffy
Last thing i didnt repeat what people said, cause i dont read them, i played both c3 priest and c2 diev but i feel the c3 priest not fit the monk style, it’s 85% support 15% dps while diev is 45% support 55% dps
Ok ok
I didn’t read but I think it could be interesting for Diev fan boys.
