Could this items weight be looked at? At 4.0 stones its almost completely useless for a monk and around tier 7-8 their isnt a whole lot of choice for monk hats that i've found

I feel like why even bother putting monk on these items?
 
What's the point of a weight limit if it never comes into play when selecting gear.
 
That second hat is a ranger/bst hat, just get your thaz helm or the helm from CoD?

Also barbutes are typically very heavy.

Whats the point of putting a monk on an item that they can't feasibly use? Also, besides the thazz class hat, there aren't any other choices (that i can find) for a head piece T7-8.

Edit: CoD hat is T6 at best really come on.

I wasn't trying to crap on your suggestion I just mean in general what is the point of the weight limit when past a certain point all monk gear weight is negligible.

Why not? It's just like weighing FT vs. raw mana on an item for a caster. Not all loot should be designed to be optimal in all scenarios for all classes. That's what puts thought process into choosing your gear.
 
I understand it can be useful for pulling and such. It does not change the fact that there are very few options (one as far as i can tell) for hats a monk can actually wear all the time at these tiers.
 
Well... One can make the argument, that since monks cant have cash on them, cant have most bags on them and cant really have items in there bags. That they are allready suffering enough and Dont need to have "heavy helmets" added to the mix? This was a common problem on live, when the items are designed, the dev forgets about the monk special case. There is no shame in that, we are all human and make mistakes (look at my spelling). Now suck it up and get to fixing them items =).

Hello I am not a monk however;

I am sure I forgot some, and yes all of those can be gotten around tier 8.
 

Only one of the items you list is lower then tier10 and that is just as the post says, heavy. The rest of this is what Santuary? Mt. King? There is no way you can get any of that at tier8. But ofc you already know this. Do I smell the Otcho troll?

Sorry Cyzaine English isent my first language - Umm... All the time? Monks take alot of beating when they pull. Sorry if I dont understand (.

slow edit. Otcho alrdy posted:

Why are you all being so angry flaming? Zaela and Robotpiretninja it almost looks like you are going out of your way to be unplesent. If you don't think it is a reasonable question being ask, maybe you should say that and give the reason why this is working as intended. Then next time a question like this comes up you can link to this post. All you do right now is alienate the player part of the community. If you feel you cant live without flamewars and post trolling, I sugest you make an alt forum account and do it on that. This behavior is not something that help bridge the gap between players and Devs/gms.

Remember that:
1. All us players are stupid, ignorant and greedy - like little children. But you are the adults and you must always try not to "stoop to our level".
2. All us players play this game because it is really good. We think you have all done a great jop and we do not belittle you. But sometimes someone will raise the question; "is this working as intended?". We ask this question because we are ignorant ect. see above. We dont know the secret vision for the game and the classes. We dont know the secret plan for the items. But we dont do it to flame you.
3. Everyone wants the best gaming experience - We all need to work togethere on that, not agains eatch othere.

Anyway, I just had to put that in there. This post made me sad.

Hello having been privileged to do such daunting and fearsome content over the past years I can in fact inform you that every single encounter I listed could be done by a solid tier 8 raid/group. Maybe stop putting faith into the numbers the wiki tells you and get some ambition, maybe get some balls and try content out. Seriously like 5 guilds were always capable of killing the emberflow crap over the past 2~ years and simply never had the chutzpah to try them. People are scared of leaving their thaz/tot safety blanket and never figure out that the sanctum trash is not very hard or that the mountain king is a big joke once you know how to do him. To be completely honest the hardest hat to get on that list might be the infected hood because those undercity trolls are crazy and harder then most of the sanctum trash pulls. (just kidding its the blackice shawl)


Exactly what do you think is heavy, the tarhylian hat? Why has every single monk I have met since I originally joined exodus 3 years ago or whenever it was wanted and worn it then?


http://shardsofdalaya.com/fomelo/fomelo.php?char=rochee beat mountain king in a subpar group setup with 250 aa and less gear then he has now for your information.

I am sorry Otcho, it is now clear to me that you are not just flaming and calling everyone losers and saying they have no balls.

Please accept my apology.


ps. Man you are good =), now you got me doing it.

Why are you shitting up this thread? He is clearly trying to help the dude out and list alternative helmets for him to get. He actually posted something constructive in this thread, why don't you do the same? Just because an encounter is listed as a higher tier fight doesn't mean a guild of lower tier cannot complete the fight.
 
alright, I take this as a clue to get out. I dont know what your talking about Ekyu guy. but it is clear to me that you want a flamewar. So im out of here.

No, I am suggesting that perhaps instead of assuming I am trolling(which I am not) and getting defensive about *content you have never done* you could take my advice maybe and get a cool hat? You think I am trolling but guilds like phoenix rising/chaotic winds/etc are all content to sit and do the same content over and over and rarely you get the chance to see another guild dare to do something and progress rapidly(GOONSQUAD/numinous/ethereal). That is the sod reality, people take wiki numbers to heart and are afraid of doing new content that could let them get the phats because the difference between tier 9 and tier 10 is literally 200 full thazeran sets and max tomes and 1.2ms(protip: its not). I get snappy when people who clearly do not know what they are talking about try to tell me about things. I'm not going to reply anymore since I am going way off topic I just wanted that dude to know about all the potential monk hats he could be wearing.
