Hello
This is the 5th time i remake this post
i started playing the game 2 days ago i have no idea what to do when it comes to builds and stats
so would anybody please share a PVE monk skill and stat build ??
your help will be much appreciated .
thanks for taking the time to read my post
More then likely no one has replied because there are several monk builds & threads on the forum already. You should be able to find this type of information by using the search function.
That being said the two most standard monk builds Ive seen while playing is:
Cleric 1 > Priest 3 > Monk 2 > Plague Doctor or Monk 3
Cleric 2 > Diev 2 > Monk 2 > ???
Iâve heard of going krivis for the crit ability but seems like crap to me. Id rather do priest or cleric.
Stats would likely be 3:1:1 str, dex, con. Personally I dont put points into dex outside of not missing monster. Spirit is an option to some degree because of synergies with priest/cleric abilities but im not really sure how much.
Any info outside of that youâll have to put in some time browsing forums.

Monks are not good at PvE
*Melee ranged, most of the hand skills have a really small range.
*Have 0 AoE, and thatâs brutal for PvE
I would recommend focusing on a PvP build.

what if iam trying to solo ? i dont like playing in parties unless i have to
thanks for replaying
that is also good for you. suffra and bless buff to give you more dmg early game.
you most likely wont solo throughout the game. the game is made to party

i have tried looking at the range classes and nothing caught my eye
musketeer maybe
but the reason i chose monk is that i was a sura in ragnarok so iam used to pretty much solo everything
thanks for replaying
i tried making my own build based on my sura experience in RO but i cant find a way to do the same damage output i did there
well energy blast is not asura strike, no one hit wonder here.

its the best damage skill i have seeing for monk
double strike seems good too since it doesnt consume MP at all
Trust me when I say STA consumption is a pain in the arse :p. But yeah still better than spamming a skill with SP. Spamming Double Strike after consuming a Small STA pill at 25 STA will leave you with 10 ~ 15 secs CD on the pill before being able to spam it again.
I pretty much soloâd the game up till now apart from the dungeons and I went Cleric C2 -> Priest C2 -> Monk for now since Iâm level 145.
Cleric C2 offers Divine Might which may or may not be helpful (very honestly the skill sucks for solo play as a Monk. Itâs more useful during party runs.) so I say you can skip it and go for Priest as your first class change.
Since you donât have any STR scaling skill until Monk youâll have to do with autoattacks and the Priestâs Blessing helps immensely. If you are going to Priest C2 you gain Sacrament which in itself is pretty crap later in the game but allows you to apply Blessingâs bonus damage twice on autoattacks only (Double Strike as Monk more or less becomes your new âextremely short range autoattackâ tool but it wonât apply Sacrament which is a shame really).
I have no idea whether Priest C3 is worth investing into. Krivis C1 could do the trick with access to a critbuff in the form of Zalciai but I canât say much more about it since I didnât go up that path. Krivis C2 has Divine Stigma which gives up to +43 INT and STR after defeating an enemy which can prove more useful than Priest C2 with Sacrament as a Monk.
If anyone has an endgame Monk and is reading this I wouldnât mind if you could enlighten us haha.
Iâm going to put this here so that you can spend some time thinking about which way to go.
C2 Cleric -> C2 Priest: Stable support, damage dependent on auto attacks mostly
C3 Priest: Defensive based, low offensive support capability
C3 Krivis or C2 Cleric -> C2 Krivis: Stable offensive support through Zaibas, Zalciai and Divine Stigma
C3 Cleric -> Paladin: High support, burst DPS from Smite
C2 Cleric -> C2 Diev: High single target DPS, stable support
C2 Krivis -> Paladin: Good offensive support, donât expect heals from this class as itâll focus more on offense than defense

So in your opinion which is the most suitable choice for solo PVE ?
Be a Monk if you like it.
I just got to Monk and I really love it.
But a lot of people here get disappointed by the damage.
Paladin is good for PvE support. One day I want to play that class.
Diev is situational. People love it here but I really didnât enjoy burst damage and then have to wait for cooldown.
ToS Cleric is way too versatile. Just pick one and check with us if it looks good.
Pick a build and then weâll make sure the skills and the stats meet minimum recommendation.
Good player >>> good build.
Too many great builds with bad players infesting dungeons.

I know Iâm repeating whatâs been said but ultimately ToS is a multiplayer experience.
Although Iâm leveling solo atm I do plan on being useful for party related activities so Iâd pick anything that gives some good offensive support which is usable in solo play.
You should take the time to read up what each of the skills from each class up to monk has to offer and make your choice from there. Some people will argue this, but one thing I like about ToS is you can hardly go completely wrong in PvE (unless you go SPR or INT for some reason on a Swordsman class?) and you can always make your build usable at one point or another.

Early game full Dex because your main damage is Bless+Sac+Weapon auto-attack.
They donât scale too much with Str and low level monsters donât have high crit evade or high atk accuracy or many spell atk. You can even use leather if you want. They will miss a lot of hits on you.
Late game you will need Con to survive and Str to scale with Monk skills. Also Plate and Dagger is a must.

[/quote]We know itâs scary with tons of class choices and we donât wanna jump in blindly at the beginning, and I will say again unfortunately ToS is playstyle dependent. Gotta trust your guts instead of blindly following âpopularâ or âtopâ builds. They earned their popularity and strength not because the build is great but the players are good.

Arde Dagger lv75
Venom or Karacha Dagger lv170
Those 3.
It needs to have element property attack damage.
Itâs absurd the difference. You will face-roll anything with any class.
