Questions for all those Crit/High Dex Monks out there!

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

I’m a level 240 cleric 2>priest 2>monk 3. For the moment I have 200 dex and 60 con with 14 free points. Just wondering:

  1. What are your “end game” stats like? Does having some strength balance out with the loss of crit rate from dex?

  2. What is your “end game” equipment like? E.g. Gladiator band or sissel bracelet? In particular, does suncus maul ever lose its effectiveness or is a +15 suncus gonna be the weapon I hold till the day I die?

  3. Best gems for weapons? I know we already have a high crit rate but it seems to me that the yellow gems for crit damage are kind of underwhelming. Correct me if I’m wrong but it feels like it’s better to just use green gems and find some good hair costumes with + crit damage.

  4. How’s the build working out for you so far at the end game? Personally I love my build but I’ve noticed that my damage has started to fall off a bit. Not too sure if it’s because of the spike in mob hp or the fact that my attributes are only at around level 20-40.

Haha yeah I’m using magas sword and suncus maul at the moment as well. Been holding off the gems till I could get more feedback on that.

Illizia looks good but that durability though :frowning:. Even with squire repair its not gonna last that long.

Just praying that r8 has something that goes well with monk otherwise I’m screwed.

I hope we have something beyond monk …
I went hiatus with my monk level 205 … now its 219 doing nothing missions since then
Creates another character

If there is none beyond monk lol
My monk going to be only mission and dungein rush … till someone discovered hidden quest for monk

I’m at the same boat, but a bit more compromised… Monk C3, lvl230 and idk if that Inquisitor will add something to us. Planning on waiting till next circles…

200 DEX is enough. I recommend statting the rest into STR. Try and get level 6 green gems. If you do TBL and get your 50 daily points, then you can buy the gem abrasives and get level 6 gems without much trouble. The card system will help a lot. Ellaganos Card gives DEX so you can allocate more points into STR or CON.

Sorry if this is a silly question but doesn’t the crit formula punish you if you don’t keep investing dex? I hear that with rank 8 coming out the level cap will be raised to 400.

My question is if I start adding strength and ignoring dex (aside from green gems) won’t there come a point where my crit % is so low that in effect the 200 points i’ve added so far are “wasted”?

#8

Indeed either you go full dex or dont go at all

Full str just up to date glove for accuracy you are good to go

#9

That’s a good point, but that point is so far away from now that I’m not worried about it. I only have 200 base DEX but have over 500 crit rate with monstrance. I crit consistently against mobs my level around ~270. In the future, even with the cards boosting my crit rate to 600ish, my actual critical chance might diminish. Doesn’t really bother me though as I’m not a number cruncher; I just like crits. It’s up to you though. Full STR isn’t bad either. You’ll definitely need to pump up those attributes and grind gems though. Mine are pretty high so my DPS doesn’t feel too bad.

Mind sharing your setup? Total stats, equipment, etc?

#11

Sure.

At level 272 and without gear, I have 291 STR, 36 CON, and 175 DEX. I’ll be putting the rest of my points into STR most likely. Max Petamion (+14) and Karacha Dagger (+11) boost DEX to 200. I wear Virtov/Grynas Plate gear at the moment. When I finish Virtov, I’ll have near 20,000 HP. I put level 5 red gems in my top/bottom for HP. I have level 6 green gems in my Maga Mace and Karacha dagger. Physical Attack, Critical Rate and Elemental/Critical Damage on my headgears. I have 449 crit rate without monstrance. Monstrance boosts it up to 520.
