All it needs is a change to Iron Skin. They should make it a buff, that gives immunity to knockback/down while remaining some of the P.ATK reflect effect.
In a party, if you are double punching everywhere, you are a bad monkā¦ because that damage is ridiculous compared to other classes which hit a lot of monster at the same time.
I am diev too, leave your own and try to make safe your party groups manā¦
so when i have up divine might i should just stand there?
no, monk is a dps class, you are a support/dps, that why you went monk. you didnt go monk just to act like a preist>chap or a diev3. we went monk to be a support/dps, doubl punch damage isnt that bad. plus, barbs and other swordies have worse dmg than double punch and they hit stuff, you expect them to swash buckle and then just block everythign for the whole run? they hit stuff, they are a tank/dps. we are a suppoer/dps, we hit stuff while carving our statues every once and a while.
Divine, statues, heal people and when that is done, then you can go to punch or use energy blast. That is why I said monk is more support than dps becaus you are more time doing things than punching, a wiz or archer is 100% time making damage, that is the difference I am trying to explain.
Of course not, a swordie is not there to swash buckle and just block, they have to be hitting too (but just because they dont have anything else to doā¦)
hats more hitting that buffigng, u place 2 statues roughly every minute, then divien every 20 sec, and heal every 30 sec roughly. roughly 15 seconds eevery minuet youre supporting. other than that youre hitting, thats more dps than support.
if monk is more support than dps then why is there only 1 (bad) support skill for monk? a monk contributes more to the dps than support. it isnt more support than dps. thats why theres chaplain, a melee supporter, than theres monk, a melee dps.
Just leave it, the main thing about this was monk is not a dps class, its a combination of support and damage, that is all.
no, you dont understand what im tryign to say,
monk is a dps class
YOU are a support/dps
ive been saying that in every reply
but you alsways respond with "monk is a support/dps class"
no, its not. ranger has 1 support skill (so does monk), does that make ranger a support class? from your logic it does. monk is a dps class. i can feel you want monk to be a support, dont try to make monk somethign it isnt, if you want to be a support class, go chaplain. monk is a dps class, your other circles are support.
Players like you are the reason why monks are not invited to parties, or why groups say āno monksā.
You have a heal button, you are a support class. You can suck it up and deal, or enjoy playing solo. Your primary goal is support, you choose to go against that and try to be DPS only.
Monk is not a class. It is a rank in the cleric class tree. Clerics are a support class.
thats funny bcuz people actually prefer dps/support over full supports.
im not a support, im a support/dps
you dont know how i play, i heal when needed, statue when needed, dps the rest. also, if this is the case, then why do people not say āno druidsā?
my primary goal isnt support, its support/dps, if i was a support, i wouldnt have monk in my build.
wow, have u been reading my replies? ive been saying im a support/dps, i NEVER said, not anwhere, that im a dps only.
ive been saying monk is a DPS class.
YOU are a support/dps.
ppl like you keep sayign that monk is a full supporter, in fact yo usaid it right here
[quote=āRemiri, post:88, topic:260937, full:trueā]
you are a support[/quote]
if thats the case then why does it say monk is an attack based class in game?
now, you can suck it up and re roll as a chaplian bcuz u feel like monk should be full support.
what ive been trying to say al this time is that monk itself is a dps class, while ppl like you are saying its a support class, (even though it has the red icon, and only 1 āsupportā skill)
Well I kinda agree and disagree with this. I agree because My Monk is too weak reasons are DP low damage Input also not Good with mobs also I drain my STA too fast. then I disagree after I get into Circle 2 of Monk and Upgrade Plate Mastery + DP Enhance Attri I was amazed not that I can Kill solo I can also sustain myself from dying, at first monk is not good if you dont have silver to upgrade attributes. and u can just buy cheap STA plate boots to boost ur STA.
If you guys feel that you are more useful if you focus on Support, then go support the party you are with, If you feel that you can contribute more if you go DPS, then go with attacking.
It actually depends on the party you have because of certain skill combinations. I focus on DPS when im with Wizards who cast Lethargy, because I hit an easy 12k - 20k double punch to enemies. I can enjoy dealing 70-100k in 5 secs because of my Ping. Then I focus on support if we have 2 or more Archer classes because of their squishy nature.

srsly? you hit 70-100K in 5 secs, that must be in a good ping
if i recall correctly i hit 2.3kx2(crit) on truffle in alemeth and 1.2kx2 no crit
Ranger has all his icons red, because is a full dps class. Monk has only one red icon, do you see the difference??? Monk its a dps RANK but its built in a support base class, can see the difference? I love to be the dps damage class in my party, but in this game, monk its a support/dps class
I use double punch in party of course, but I am more attentive about my team members hp to keep them alive, that makes me a support class. (Even a full support priest is hitting sometimes dude)
Do you think a full dps class its going to be worried about the hp of his team members? Please see the difference.
this is EXACTLY what ive been saying.
thats why ive been saying you are a support/dps
monk is a dps
monk is a dps class
YOU are a support/dps because you have support classes in your monk build.
if you ONLY had c3 monk (no cleric, no diev) you would be a full dps, not a support, or a support/dps. but we do, which makes us a support/dps
As Monk player myself, people need to understand that Monk is a support DPS and not a pure DPS classā¦ so donāt compare your damage to other classes, that just isnāt a fair comparison.
Your foundation IS a SUPPORT class. (Green) While other classes start with a DPS foundation (Red)ā¦ Hell I got 4 green ranks (Cleric 2, priest 2) before I got my 1st red rank (Monk)ā¦ How do you compare to classes that have 5 red rank class? The answer should be obvious. Monk also doesnāt shine until at least C2 and C3.
If you get auto party in a dungeon without any healers, you are the dedicated healer for your party as a Monk.
Monk will never be top DPS when compared to other pure DPS classes like Archers and Wizards. But what other classes canāt do, Monk can do and that is SUPPORT! You can heal, sustain your party health and you can even resurrect! Is this not good enough?
But I hope Monk will be buffed to have great BURST damage. Monk should have burst damage, not DPS.
Fingers crossed for Asura Strike from Lama hidden class. That will be one hell of a BURST DAMAGE skill.
Whoops, sounds like you are speaking from both sides of your mouth. Do YOU even know what you are?
Double Punch need more reach. Its pathetic that some boss like āGluttonā lv 124 from Pilgrim Path can NOT be hit with it. It was playing volley with me while I had to auto atack it to kill it. Even casting Safety Zone, facetanking it, DP didnt reach it. Anymore bosses that double punch dont reach?
what???
that first quote said : āmonk is not a support/dps classā
the second said: āim a support/dpsā
together it says, āmonk is not a support/dps class, its a dps class. but bcuz i have support ranks b4 monk, that makes ME a support/dps characterā
Regardless of what you pick before monk, you will always have cleric at the base.
Cleric has a heal button.
Monk is support/dps.
ok from your logic, if my build is wiz3>linker>ele2>featherfoot
that automatically makes featherfoot a support/dps class
