Sadhu or Monk better for what purpose?

Class and Rank
#1

Hey guys, games coming out soon but I am torn between Monk and Sadhu.

Which is better for PvM or PvP?
Which has more support or more straight damage?

Thanks

#2

Both classes have straight damage. One magical, other physical.

If you ask me, I would say Sadhu can do more damage, but you need to be more defensive (invest on invul+fade builds)
With monk, you have less to worry about positioning and becoming invul, but Sadhu just destroy bosses like nothing, but they are single target specialists, not AoE farmers.

#3

monks have a skill (which is really hard to use) in pvp which can instantly remove the targets entire SP bar.

so if you are pvping and you manage to pull off the sp drain skill, it’s a definite victory for you

#4

Wow that sounds impressive, what Monk skill drains SP?

#5

One inch punch does remove opponent’s sp, but overtime.

#6

Is this based off the skill damage? skill level? some set amount?

#7

The skill applies an status affect that removes sp with time, which makes me believe that it does not scale, if

#8

Answering the global question here, I would probably go with Sadhu for versatiliy; You only need but one level in Sadhu to get all it has to offer an can build anything else from there. Personally, I am going C1’ P3 Chaplain Sadhu and oracle.

This is a most excellent guide to the class, give it a look.

#9

So basically, Monk for PvP and Sadhu for PvE?

#10

Both work in either scenarios, however, while Sadhu has a stronger DPS, Monk has more option for mitigating damage and that might give him an edge in the dynamic battlefield of pvp. You could always try being both monk and sadhu at same time, it would be interesting.

The guide I mentioned above but wasn’t send for some reason: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vCORFl8V7WM0dik3eQ3u0CJqwGuUpw8WUnivx4bk6X0/edit
