Path to monk questions

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hello people, Im going to start a monk and I need some help figuring out my path to monk so… :

  • I may be wrong but it seems both krivis and priest buffs can be bought, so both can be replaced by either having one of those in the party or buying the buffs, does it matter wich one I take ?
  • going Krivis will help leveling more then priest ?
  • going PD is for bloodletting alone or does incineration also deals nice damage on a str build ?
  • Hybrid builds (int/str) are good ?

thanks .

ive been researching monk in the last days so I can answer a bit.

  1. Priest has Revive, Mass Heal, and Stone Skin, all really good. If you want to support with defense, healing, and death prevention, consider it. Krivis is mostly for Crit enhancement, and an attack that you can use until you get to monk (but it’s int based so wont be very useful later)
  2. Krivis will help until you reach monk, yes, and the crit skill is good afterwards. However Dievdirby is also a decent choice if Priest is too hard/long for ya. (you would usually take a second rank of Cleric, for a better safety zone and healing)
  3. Incinerate does decent damage even on a str build, but I’d still take monk c3 unless you want bloodletting. Bear in mind that Healing Factor is incredibly good too.
  4. Unfortunately no, I wanted to make a balanced stat build myself, but seeing how stats get bonus points the more you invest in a particular one, it’s better to stick with str(and dex) or int. If you do int, then dont do Priest. (and in general int’s not a very good choice if you actually want to use a monk well.)

As far as I know only Daino (and maybe zaliciai) scrolls can be bought from Krivis class

Priest buff Blessing and Sacrament is the best aa DPS skill until lv 180 where monster HP are 80 - 100k and Blessing and Sacrmanet can be barely felt after that you start to hit the dungeons and daily mission, where priest have more advantage due to their support skills

Most skills do OK even without investment from INT. not super but OK, I have a DEX STR build with no investment in INT, my zaibaslv15 deals 700 damage per hit on neutral targets and 1.5k on ice property targets

Go for Priest and skill Monstrance at least once to buff yourself and your team. It will raise your dex by about 33% = Crit Rate & Evasion. Crit Attack can be pushed with equipment way easier.

Blessing is limited to hits (230~ on 16) if you buy them off a Pardoner, so it wont last 1h+.

If you go for Priest, get Cafrisun set and get Sacramento, it will give you an extra hit = 3 hits per strike with blessing on each while leveling till Rank 5

But let me tell you that it is boring af until you reach Monk C2 (Blast and Inch Punch).

hybrid builds are nearly crap in ToS because of the stat bonus increase, which will raise dramatically every 50-100 points

im working on a C2 cleric / C2 priest now, i dont get much buff cause monk are dps, we dont need to buff like 15 times before we going to hit the boss, just blessing/sacrament…maybe someting more like monstrance
