Hey guys, just wanted to ask for some suggestions, I played a monk on live and... well loved him...
On SoD - I have created a monk, human... and just seem to have a hard time with him... I'm not sure whats going on... I feel like i do NO damage compared to EVERY other class... I cant seem to get any weapons... I am like level 22 or so... and just cant seem to get any damage output... any suggestions? I tried hand to hand... fists first, then I got a like 34/14 h2h weap... and just seems like i dont even hit.. maybe my dex is just too low? i think its 85... any ideas?
 
anyone else? haha i really like monks dont reaaaaally want to re roll :( are they really that weak in SoD?

Monks are flat out like the second strongest class on the server at end game. Lleoc is just trolling you because he is a monk. Once you get gear/aa's you will do retarded amounts of damage. But while leveling casters out dps just about everything and then peter off at end game.
 
Monks are not horrible here but they do require a bit of funding to play to their potential. One thing I always found disturbing was how monks are the same between the two races (excluding racial traits). Even on live they made a few changes to make it more thought provoking such as making humans fists a tad faster than Iksars as they lived. Only difference on SoD is their racial traits.

So in short: Monks are a great class but not so good as a first class to level on server.
 
Monks on sod are amazing. One of the problems is you compare them to live. sod isn't live. sod is a compliment to live circa 1999-2002 but is still something unique in itself having different rules and damage tables.

if you invest in your monk and read the wiki you should be able to get some ideas on gear and develop a highly satisfactory character. you may also want to link your monk from fomelo so people may be able to take a look at your character and offer help and advice.

Thank you guys very much, now i am happy :) haha becuase i do intend on getting him higher and maxin out aa's, maybe start raiding at the end.
 
If you have good pulling abilities, you will be sought after, believe me.

There's plenty of Monks on the server but good pullers are very very rare.

So train that up if you are average... :)
 
Curious

Necroing the thread a tiny bit just curious though, Thade says monks are the 2nd strongest class end game, why? Also whats the 1st strongest in that case then? heh

Because they get amazing items that make them crazy combined with their innate dodge mechanic and the necessity of monks to pull things. Big damage, Able to tank ???
 
Clerics are number 1 always. They are absolutely the kings, and I never see that changing.

I'm kinda OK with that, though.
 
Right on. I was just curious. Ive read alot of mixed reviews lately on monks. poor dps, not as good as tanks as thought, good to read a positive one.
 
This is seriously the worst thread I have ever read. Monks are not hard to play, you don't need to drop a ton of cash to play them, and above all if I see another monk walking around with An Unseen Hand I'm going to vomit.

Just stay under your weight cap, go with bare fists, get this and you'll be fine
