Why did you choose leather over plate as a monk? Do you find the evasion to be reliable with a low dex build? What about the loss of bonus stamina from plate?
I was considering leather myself for a 75-100 dex build but I’m not sure if the Dex + leather will work to keep me alive while dpsing inside packs.
How does it fair for you and why did you pick it over plate?
Thanks
I found the 25 stamina & +15 from hidden quests when used with 80 silver stamina pills from the starting town shop (recovery 30 stamina) is enough to get me by without much downtime on double punch.
The only time I get downtime is when I’m punching the same enemy constantly. An unless I’m in a group with really low overall damage I’m not relent on Double Punch anyway.
I mean you only need enough stamina so that the stamina pill you’re using aren’t being wasted. After that it’s pretty much a pointless stamina pool.
As for evade, yeah if you level up the leather amour skill a bit. It seems to evade enough to be worth while for me.
I’ve done the kill 100 monster quest and the food quest, what is the third?
I think you said you have something like 75 Dex in a earlier post, is that about right? Whats the percentage of dodge you think you get from your set up? I’m trying to get a rough idea so I can plan for how much Dex I need to invest.
Stamina quest you’re missing…
I’d go with 100 by end-game without including dex given by gear. Keep in mind my leather gear choice is just a matter of personal preference.
I think Plate is equally as viable.
You only need to talk to the Job NPCs for the mage tower stamina quest
there’s a fourth one which requires you to kill or get killed by the chaparitton boss at tenet chapel then talk to the Paladin NPC at the Nefritas Cliff - I have not yet confirmed this since its hard to chance on seeing field bosses alive
then there’s another +6 from the collection box sets (6 collection box, each giving +1 to stamina)
Just my 2 cents: I am going as C2>D2>Monk3 because I expect to see others full support characters who will have priest in their build. Also, Priest buffs can be bought, Diev’s not and 20% CDR paired with Divine Might is freaking awesome (Played as QS3 with a C2>D2 in my party and I could keep Running Shot 100% uptime with Divine Might and CDR statue).
Hai guys.
Id like to show you a bit of my progress with C2/D2/Monk3
Its demon prison grind. Stats and gear are at the end of the vid.

Hi, please help me as I am in a dilemma. Most of my friend does not have much experience in Monk and since you have been playing Monk all the time, I thought you could help me. I have 2 question.
According to one of the most popular build: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/6e40aqx89s/
The author recommended to go FULL DEX and 100 con. This is after he tested the build with FULL STR and 100 con. Reasoning is based on the 10% STR/INT 10% bonus you get for every rank up. Once this game go up to rank 10, you can imagine 90% bonus to strength is some… epic scaling! Even if you don’t crit, you do so much consistent damage. What I am confused is why the author decide to go FULL DEX instead of FULL STR? It make sense to go FULL STR because all monk attacks scale with STR and STR will only get better as the level cap go higher to rank 10.
In the future there will be a Lama class as we all know and anticipate, Lama seems to be related to Monks. But we all do not know yet if Lama class will be a 1 rank circle like Chaplain or 3 rank circle. Thing is, it might not even be a hidden class for C3 Monk as the costume just seem so… “non-combat” like. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it is wise to plan our build now based on possible future hidden class for Monk? If Lama is going to be a 3 circle class, then its a no-brainer to go for Lama on the last circles 8, 9 & 10.
But if Lama is a 1 rank circle… What should we pick then? What do you think?
Do you think Paladin have good synergy with Monk once rank 10 release? If conviction stacks with One-inch punch or Kamehameha… It could be crazy!
Ditch the God Finger Flick, Its a terrible skill, no kidding, The range is short, as short or maybe shorter than Carve Owl, Slow animation, poorweak attack, no utility, and does not work on bosses
Sounds like a bad idea, very low damage output, wait till he enters a map with monster with HP over 100k and has magic based attacks, his stamina will deplete even before he does 10% damage to his target, now imagine you are faced with 5 of those at the same time
I would wait on the lama class as I predict it will not arrive any time soon, maybe a year from now when game interest starts to decline and used only as a means to get player back into the game… its always like that
What the monk class is in need right now is a skill to close distance to the target. If Lama does not offer anything usefull to the monk class I’m taking either plague doctor or Cleric2 at ranks 8-10
How about on sacrament skill?
just a quick question for monks out there
how much are you willing to pay for monster gem +1 level of double punch
