Okay, i know everybody thinks monk c3 is bad, but i just want to punch thing, and hope for some class update.
My problem is, i dont really want to go Inquisitor. I as thinking about Oracle c1 in rank 8, just for the counter spell and change (i wanna kill bots xD), and some extra stamina. BUT, being a Monk c3, not going for Inquisitor is a stupid idea? Just want some thoughts about this. thanks.
~Sorry, english is not my primary language and i try to do this without google translator.
Yeah. Stupid idea. If you want oracle it should be Monk C3 you should be replacing and not Inquisitor
i have the exactly same idea as you cos i really dislike inquisitor… and ofc everyone will say its stupid to replace inqui AT THE CURRENT RANK 8 META becos u will not have the high base dmg from inquisitor to deal with stuff.
BUT if rank 9 comes out and theres a class for MONK i think inqui is worth giving up for more utilities (anti cc anti magic groundmagic removal) provided by oracle c1
but yea. by taking this route, you re gambling on rank 9 having something specific and great for monk
Why do you people don’t like Inquisitor ? I don’t understand, is it because his costume ? You dislike burst damage ? You think that spread One Inch Punch; Palm Strike; God Finger Flick; Hand Knife debuffs it’s actually bad ? You hate wheels ?
Monk 3> Inqui here.
Inquisitor It ´s a really high damage class and excellente in PvE and PvP. Wheel spread most of Monk debuff. It would be really bad to miss the class, unless until something more suitable for monk came out at Rank 9-10.
But, If you really don t´want to pick Inquisitor, You could pick Diev 3 if you are a Diev> Monk. More owl damage, more silence time and Ausrine. But your DPS would not be as high as Inquisitor.
You can pick Plague Doctor for a more supportive class if you are Priest> Monk. Inmune to CC, contant Heal with Healing Factor and extra DPS skill with Incineration, but still, not as good as Inquisitor.
That’s the thing though, people just pick because it’s the damage and really easy to use just toss and done, everything is homing,no need to aim.
But I guess some monk players just feel it doesn’t fit monk style of going melee and always be in the knick of the battle.
like it doesn’t even need to be monk, any build can pick inquisitor and do high damage.
ie. cleric2 diev3 miko kabba inqui
like inquisitor is doing all the jobs really, its just better to pick something else for more utilities than wasting 3 ranks on monk. you can still do really high burst without monk. u will just lack sustained dmg from double punch but then you gained a lot more useful skills.
Monk need a buff without a doubt and a more fitting class than Inquisitor.
Double Punch it s great to spam while Inquisitor´s skills cooldown.
GFF, Palm Strike, One inch punch and Hand Knife are good for the debuff, not the damage.
EB has a good damage but to much charge and cooldown time.
Iron Skin a golden bell Shield totally useless
I really like Monk but It has too much cooldown or too low damage in comparison with other Physical classes. It need rework without a doubt.
yea they’re taking steps to improve/rework monk though so i hope we see something soon.
and yea inquisitor is more like a natural progression for paladin… i mean it even has a replica of ‘smite’ except stronger (‘god smash’)
you can see monk skills all use hands, not mace…
you have no choice as physical cleric
pick inquisitor at r8 or being trash
pre inquisitor is just filler/sub-class
Just one more question, its true that EB scales with Str, Int and CON? I was thinking abount making a really high CON monk xD
No, it scales with Str for damage. Dex for critical (it can Crit)
High CON it s not needed, 50-100 should be OK. I would suggest res Dex for critical, specially cause Inquisitor Crits too
It’s not just a thing between Monk and Inquisitor. R8 classes just powerspiked so much that no proper DPS builds can skip taking them (except for Wizards because all they got were support).
If you want to be all thematic and stuff then feel free to just take anything you want. Heck take Sadhu. But people in the forums aren’t going to help you choose something they’d rather not play or even have in their parties
my main is a cleric 2 - diev 2 - monk 3 - inquisitor
Inquisitor provides very high damage.
However. I did not start playing in rank 8 for like a whole week because I really wanted to go Diev 3 at rank 8.
however, i did go inquisitor, even though I do not aesthetically like the inquisitor.
if you are going physical build i would side with what @Teifu said. 50 Con rest in Dex.
In my opinion you have not a whole lot of options at rank 8
Im Cleric 2 - Bokor 2 - Monk
Really dont like DEX builds, after some research, high STR builds seems more attractive to me, maybe a little bit of dex, but not too much.
And i really link my Bokor c2, Bwa Kayiman is just too good for grinding and doing dungeons, 80% of the mobs just constantly get knocked and cannot do a thing. And i just punch bosses in the face togheter with my zombos.
I know, probably i’ll hardly ever use Bwa Kayiman, but my gameplay is much more fun with this skill, and allow me to do something besides damage.
