Monk3 questions

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

I’m doing a DEX Priest3>Monk3 for fun and I’m considering neglecting the monk defense skills, as they make you stay still. I’m playing PVE and I think more defense skills with priest and cleric are redundant.

Also, I’m only taking Priest3 because it can increase my damage more comfortably, and also because monstrance is actually a nice buff for DEX builds.

However, if someone can point me out why it is better to use that disgusting Zalciai, or whatever skill from any other class, I might change it. Just remember that my objective here is mobbing, I leave bossing to my Fencer o/

Also, if I’m in the wrong way of making a monk, please orient me, if possible.

Hi dude,

I’ll try explain to you why Priest c3 isn’t good as cleric c2.

Stone Skin - Nerfed, without invest SPR this skill will be useless.
Blessing 10 - With max attribute will be enough, not scale with dex/str I think this skill is not worth for late game.
Sacrament - Useless for late game, only for 1 additional line dmg, invest only 1 point.
Monstrance - Don’t scale with skill lvl, invest only 1 point.

About Cleric C2:

MORE HEAL - Tons of heal, will be useful even in PvE and you will always welcome in partys! :smiley:
Safety Zone - You can hit bosses or mobs without interruptions, Imortal, will protect your allies, you will use this skill for ever.
Divine Might - Short boost for all skills = MORE DMG!!
Fade - If u need run.

Alternatives:

Diev = 20% CD, silence, DMG from Carve attack and Carve Owl and immunity. I think this way is more for PvP.

About Krivis, just don’t take it.

Well, thx for confirming the Krivis issue.

Taking less priest ranks was also one of my ideas, it’s nice to hear something similar.

Diev is kinda out of question because I won’t go PVP and I’m focusing on low cooldown skills. I’ll consider the second cleric rank.

Priest c2 is really good, blessing 10, resurrection and revive is awesome!! Even Mass Heal will be useful in late game because this skill cure % HP.

Hi, C2 > P2 > Monk here. I would like to advise that Priest 1 would already be enough for Ressurection and Monstrance, so you can choose another class for Rank 4. Revive is the only reason to go Priest 2, and it’ll matter only if you party a lot. Blessing damage fall at end game, Mass Heal sucks on a Dex build and the other buffs you can just buy from a Pardoner.

You can combine C2 > P1 > Diev 1 > Monk or, looking for rank 8 utility, C3 (new guardian buff, heal, safety zone, divine might and fade) > P1 > Monk

Hello, wanna give you some quite absurd idea
Who not Cleric 2 > Diev 2 > Monk 2 > Diev 3 > Inqui
Reasons:
Cleric 2 : Obvious

Monk 2 :
-Already has all good skill of monk
-EB lvl 10 takes too long to cast, your party might die, level 5 is already enough (unless they change it)
-Monk 3 golden bell… sucks, (unless they change it)

Diev 3 :
-is a “perfect” utililty that never falls, like… forever, because diev utility mostly doesnt involve damage, or flat damage like priest
-World Tree
-Ausurine
-Carve Attack to attack leather
-Easy farm with Owl

Disclaimer: Rank 9 for monk, “Lama” might require Monk 3, thats the only reason to go Monk 3 atm.

I actually might reduce priest to 1 rank, but Diev just breaks the ideia. I mean, I want to improve my damage, supporting here is the last priority.

Or do you think that even Diev can do this job?

hm, -20% cooldown that diev 1 gives is absurd.
C2-diev2 build is higher DPS then priest variance.*(see future point)

Also consider that diev 2 gives carve world tree (silence statue) that makes monster within the area NOT ATTACK you… GODSENT.

In that set up you will have a strong safety zone, fade, carve world tree

Also diev has piercing type attack (carve attack) which helps on leather type monsters and can be spread with inquisitor wheel (if that is what you are going for on rank 8)

C2-p1-diev1 is solid choice if you are just looking for cooldown reduction and free teleport from anywhere.

I main c2-diev2-monk3-inqui and can not be more then happy with it. But again you might just not like it so there is that (which is fine btw, i feel the same about Bokor, i dont like it and will never level one, but thye are strong)

Another point, you would want to build for rank 8 or future proof build to make sure your skills don’t fall off late game when rank 9 and on release, so getting a dievderby will help a huge amount, since it is not scaled with any stat (outside of owl which do decent enough damage with 1 int and magic attack from maces)

Energy Blast is nice when you learn to use it properly, but it is not exactly a party play skill, as mentioned previously due to long charge time.

*Dievderby is a VERY strong damaging option. before R8 it was way stronger in damage than priest variant, now i am not sure.

**But if you feel rich you can always buy moonstrance scrolls which is about the only thing from priest that gives a decent damage boost (blessing does not count since it can be purchased from pardoners)

Honestly (no bs, no troll) I feel like the werewolf druid (either INT or STR) does a better job at being a monk than the monk.

WW1 is basically [double punch]. Lv15 [double punch] is ~700 atk (~1400 with attribute) x2 per skill use. WW1 is [~5k atk (no attribute) + atk + matk] x2 (yeah x f*cking TWO). It actually works on an INT build since WW skills convert matk to atk.

#10

Diev surpass Priest build in DPS. I tried both, Diev for Dps (-20 cool down, silence, owl) priest for party support, blessing benefits multiple hit skills and Monk only have one (EB), Mass heal it s just a compliment heal (needed Cleric 2), Revive it s perfect.

Cleric C3 - Filler - Monk
Or
Cleric C2 - Filler- Filler - Monk.

Forget Priest at this point. A SPR Priest C3 Monk won’t really bring much to the table given the increase in mob health although I’d still prefer one over a Dex Priest C3 monk

Fillers = Priest C1, Diev C1 and C2, Paladin C1.
Super hypothetically Bokor for Mackangdal, but that’s pretty selfish when you could be providing real support for those 2 ranks.
