Would a SPR:STR Krivis/Monk work?

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hey there everybody.
I am currently planning my second monk… I messed up my first monk by going cleric1/priest3.

I am now thinking about going cleric2/priest2 (which seems to be a very common monk build) or trying something different.

Maybe a cleric2/krivis2 monk could work with a high SPR and STR. I could use Zalicai to decrease enemies crit resistance and buff my own crit rate… that way I think I might be able to get around the high DEX requirement that is needed to crit.

I could also invest more into STR and CON that way… and with this I would have low evasion… which would make Iron Skin and Golden Bell reasonable… i mean, having high evasion and Iron Skin is counter-productive, right?

What do you think? Could this maybe work out?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Zalcai is not buffing crit rate, it’s buffing crit attack…

For whatever reason, once you go to Krivis it is basically INT build for its best performance (you can fit 1:1 DEX for example). That’s how my Krivis 2 - Monk 2 - PD 1 build worked…

Alright, thank u from preventing me to give it a try :slight_smile:

Dammit, there’s not much before R5 that has a synergy with Monk…

It’s really depend on what classes you want to match with Monk and what skill orientation to rotate. I got 2 Monks and none of them are Double Punch orientation. My inquisitor is more about boosting God Smash with Finger click+Malleus or Wheel with God Smash - Inch Punch - Palm Strike. My PD is spreading all Monk debuffs with Incineration+Zaibas (INT build)…

Honestly I want to make an essay or guide to explain varieties of Monk out there, since most people build generic Priest 2/3, DEX type, and Double Punch orientation. But I don’t have time and not even started :stuck_out_tongue:

I actually wanted to do exactly that… double punch oriented Crit Monk… that’s the only built I’ve seen that seems to work somewhat… I wish I had enough time to try different variations… but I rly don’t. Yeah, right now I can reach monk1 pretty quickly if u know what u r doing… but still, so far the double punch build seems to be the only approved monk variation… please enlighten me if there is more to know :smiley:

I also find it to be a shame that nobody will even do grinding parties with u if u don’t have heal 10… it forces monk into cleric2 so we are allowed in parties…

I also thought about going pure STR… but that doesn’t seem to be good either…because Crits are very powerful… dammit

You can’t spread Monk debuffs with PD via Pandemic nor spread Incineration.The only way to spread Monk’s debuffs is by the Breaking Wheel attribute.

You misunderstand what I mean (hint: Incineration). It is about how optimize Incineration by spreading debuffs before applying it.
