[MONK] Palm Strike or Hand Knife?

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Good night guys!
I just became a monk and i’m only certain about one thing in my build ; the Kamehameha! opps… Energy Blast.
Unfortunately i’m just a C1 Monk and i have other skills to think about.

I want you to help me to figure out a good monk build by starting a discussion!

I’m Cleric C2, Diev C2 and Monk C1 and i put 4 points into double punch so far.

First question: Palm strik or Hand knife? i presume that there is no room for both skill lv 5 in my build. I heard about some bleeding status from palm strike is pretty good but, besides that, i have only seen builds with Hand knife. What do you guys think?

Second: How many points in Iron skin?

Thx u all!

Get both skills at level 1, then max their respective attributes. Then decide what skill to max once you invest all necessary points to your preferred skills.

As for Iron skin, don’t bother with it…for now.

I prefer Palm Strike, since it has bigger AoE attack ratio, but it has a huge knockback(it makes harder to grind, since all enemies are scatered)

Hand Knife has smaller AoE, but it knocks enemy down on the spot he is.

Both of them are good, but if you’re going C2 or C3, you’re better not having both at max level.

For me I think, hand knife is more useful it has a wide aoe effect, at the same time induces armor break good for mob control and combos with deporotect extending aoe range, plus one inch punch has a similar effect but with higher damage and silence

Forget using both these skills in pvp though as bth these skills come out slow for to land them successfully
