Haiii guys, on this beautiful day, I just had an idea of my own monk and I just theory-crafted this monk build. This is a build of my personal taste, my own preference. I would like to have you guys’ comments on my theorycraft.
I am new to clerics so I hope I can discuss more with you guys on this.
Thank you in advance 
Playing Monk be like
LOL welp… thing is… kamehameha can pierce through while monk’s kamehameha pushes enemies out 
Ditch paladin and replace it wtih diev.
eh? paladin’s restoration and resist elements seem good to me though O.o
That’s because most paladin aim to reach c3 paladin and obtain barrier, which is useful on a certain dungeon.
If you can’t reach that, then don’t bother with it. You’ll be a…not so good paladin compared to others, who’d outclass your pally skills.
That’s just me. Others might have different opinion…but.
I think you should reeeeeally consider maxing Energy Blast over Golden Bell Shield, bc Energy Blast is your best skill xD especially for PvP, and it’s so much more rewarding than a few more seconds of a channeling skill.
I also don’t really like Pala c1… You’re basically going for the extra healing since you’ll never really use Smite since Dp is just a overall better strike-type skill. While Resist Elements is good and all, having it at lv5 only is a bit… Unreliable.
some notes for each rank
Cleric C2
max heal, why lvl 8?, you could drop 2 points in divine might for it.
Diev C1
get rid of carve vakrine and max carve attack.
Paladin C1
switch it to Diev C2
Monk C1
Iron skin is pretty useless outside of pvp, even then its a bad replacement for blocking. max palm strike or hand knife or leave it at lvl 1 and distribute the points elsewhere
Monk C3
get rid of god finger flick and max energy blast
or
Switch monk out for PD (way better for off tanking)
monks are for doing dps, not off tanking, if you want an off tank / real tank go paladin C3
Legit questions for monks
What is the difference of going STR monk vs INT monk.
All of Monk’s skill doesn’t scale with anything.
I see people go STR on monk for the auto attack.
Versus people going INT monk for their Cleric/Priest scaling.
Is there any other reasons?
anything tagged with [physical] will scale off attack damage
STR will add 1-1 min and max damage.
most of the monks skills happen to have the [physical] tag
monks DO NOT auto attack, they spam a skill called double punch
instead of using sp double punch uses stamina and has a 0 second CD, making it an ideal skill for replacing auto attacks
STR monk maximizes all monk skills and uses the other skills as a means to buff themselves up or what nots.
INT type monks? Now this is new to me. I had never encountered these people and saw no thread regarding this type of monks.
Besides, if you’re going monk, you go STR. Not INT.
Hm, I see. I have seen some INT monks running around when I was playing F3 so I was just curious. And stat wise would I put any into dex? or go leather for the acc bonus.
STR/CON is something I would put into. I never played monk in RO or here so I don’t know how much stamina I would use.
Would I need to points in DEX for accuracy and SPR for the ability to spam?
And thanks for the replies
Dex for accuracy and probably crit rate. Most monk dont put SPR though…unless you want to increase block penetration.
Double punch uses Stamina not SP. Having more SPR wouldn’t help you at all with spamming your abilities.
There are a few ways tho, to increase your Stamina. Wearing a full plate-type set of armor increases your STA by 10 f.e.
Ahh I see. That might have answered all my questions about Monk. As I continue to play on my cleric and learn until I wait for a reset…
Please don’t expect the wipe though… 
Hm… I not sure. Seeing how things are, there might be. The thought was thrown into the air. So there could be chances.
Thanks guys! I see most of you guys recommend going for diev 2 which will probably be getting World Tree, Owl and more Zemyna, right? (This is just my speculation though, I apologize if it’s incorrect 
).
Well… the reason I’m kinda interested in going for a dps offtank with monk because of golden bell shield, iron skin (with the help of resist elements and restorations).
Additionally, with the dmg monk produces, I hoped I could get some aggro from the main tanker (under the condition that other high dps classes do not attack as I heard that monk is quite a mediocre DPS class compared to other pure DPS classes).
I’m going Cleric>Priest>Priest>PrIest>Monk>Monk.
All of Priests heals/buffs are static and don’t need SP/INT.
Sacrament + Bless give you double hits with holy damage. Add Double Punch Lets you hit 4 times with the above combo instead of only twice.
Iron Skin is a Buff. You only need one point in Preist’s heal because its 10% of max hp of targets + 124. That’s still a nice chunk. Since ■■■■doesn’t scale anyways. You’re mostly there for the buffs.
That’s incorrect.Sacrament’s additional attack only applies to Auto Attacks, it’s only use on skills is the extra Holy property Attack it gives(+40 @lv10) since it applies twice bc DP hits twice, it’s +80 dmg. You’ll always hit twice with DP, no matter how many lines of dmg you got on your Auto Attack.
