What skills are worth to get as a Monk?

Class and Rank
#1

'sup again guys,

I was thinking about different builds and looked at different setups. There are some questions open.

How is the Cleric - Cleric build path for a planned Monk? I heard Divine Might got nerfed into the abyss and the only skill worth to get would be Safety Zone. So going a second time Cleric just for Safety Zone doesn’t sound good to me.

Another possible build patch would be Krivis or Priest. Krivis for the crit damage buffs and buff limiter. Priest for the fact to get two awesome self buffs. At this point I can’t decide which path would be more worth, maybe you guys can help out.

Lastly I have some questions about some Monk skills. As I didn’t play in any beta, I can’t tell how these skills actually work.

  • Hand Knife: It’s saying it destroys an enemys shield. Does this mean it actually removes a shield from an opponent for a duration? ( like the Rogue class in RO with the strip skills ) Or does it just reduce the enemys armor? In this case in this skill even worth skilling higher than lvl. 1?

  • Palm Strike & Iron Skin: I rarely saw someone build those two skills in their kit. Whats the thing about them? Does the Palm Strike lack in damage and thus isn’t worth to be skilled? And Iron Skill has huge potential in my eyes, yet not so many seem to like this skill, why that?

  • 1 Inch Punch: Does the skill level increase the amount of SP an enemy loses? Or is it enough leaving this on level 1?

A lot of questions I’m sorry guys. I just hope someone who has experience can help me out here.

Cleric3>Monk used to be the go-to because of Divine Might, but as you already heard it has been changed quite drastically.

I have seen both people going for Krivis and Priest into Monk on these forums, as you have already mentioned yourself. A friend of mine is planning on trying out Monk during the iCBT and he has opted for the Krivis route. At this point I would just say pick one of the two and try it out.

Krivis has a good time leveling thanks to Zaibas. They also have Daino and Zalciai, not to mention Divine Stigma, which is quite insane.

Priest gets Aspersion, Monstrance, Blessing, and Stone Skin. The thing to keep in mind here is the buff cap.

Check Monk skill build here. I’d love to give you a full insight, but I am afraid I won’t know enough about Monk to help you.

I’m not OP, but what do you think about this build for solo PVE? I’m having a really hard time figuring it out.

#4

For solo it looks quite solid. You won’t be needing Daino with the buffs you have. I’d probably put some points into Aukuras at the first rank though, just so you have it in case you want some extra regen.

As for the Monk levels, as I mentioned, I have no idea. I would still follow the build on the video even though it is focused on PvP. Iron Skin and Golden Bell Shield seem like they could be useful during PvE.

Alternatively you can take 2 points off Aukuras (still enough to get the attribute) and a couple more off Zalciai to get Daino and make yourself a lot more useful for group gameplay. Daino ~6 sounds like it should be enough I’d say.

Thank you very much!

How about Cleric1>Priest2>Paladin1>Monk2 ? Thats what i am going for since priest provides good dps with buffs while paladin has resists, health regen and damaging scaled with STR which is needed for monk.

#7

Hand knife reduces ARMOR by a set %. I think it was 10 or so % of the enemys defense stats.
And possibile makes blocking unavaible for the duration.

So it’s actually a good pvp skill against tanks or tanky enemys.
Iron Skin is a tank skill. Palmstrike lacks in dps compared to god flick or energy blast.
Inchpunch increases in dps and dot dps. But i think the sp enemy loses is a % based think.

I suggest going ironskin 5.
Using god flick to deal ranged dps and then energy blast to nock em off.
xD but that’s jus tme.

#8

And i would go.
Cleric>priest>priest>priest>monk>monk

Get revive (anti death skill, revives you with 50% hp at level 10 and makes you 10 sec invincible… nice right?).
Get the stone skin for blocks.
Get mosntrouse for dex increase (dodge and accuracy).
Blessing and Sacrament for some bonus dps. Level 1 is enough, but blessing 5 is nice too.
Asperion 1 to 5 for 20%~30% increase in def.

A tanky monk, which never dies truly. Blasts your face off and laughs at you.

#9

That was very informative thanks, guess I should really consider Krivis.

#10

Never thought God Flick could be good actually. The name is just too stupid ~

#11

These class names influence me too much I guess. At least thats why I think I never thought about going for Paladin. X)

#12

PALM STRIKE

Best skill.

#13

God flick is like Finger toss of RO.
Ranged dps strike of monks.

Imagine it like a railgun … there’s even an moe anime with it. And in One Piece they do that too (the granny).

It would be a nice gap closer.
As your engeryblast is one directional and unchanging. IF someone escapes and you need to focus the ranged enemy down fast.
A god flick will deal alot of dps. I think its 1,5k base atk on level 10. And around 2,3k on 15?

Whatever survived your ranged enrgy blast, will die from that xD.

#14

Paladin is nice too that recovery bonus is nice and there’s a few good skills in there.

#15

Are you serious? How can something named like God Flick be like Finger Spirit Sphere from RO? When I hear that Flick Bullshit, I always remember the Coin Flick skill from the Gunslinger class xD But I will look into it now, thanks a lot man

#16

It’s not the exact same.
But it comes close to how it feels, given its decription and the videos i have seen.
Sadly you cant stack hits on it xD… but the base atk is good ^^.
