yup shrine feels sooo weak

Agreed! This event is going to be so good for my skilling! Last event I barely got any skilling done because of how imba the shrine was

agreed. Shrine effect could use a bump.

Shrining seems fine to me. Fishing and cooking are there for reasons besides mirror maze.

He's on point about the monk there. That's what I do for when I'm doing solo explore. Salvation and double strike are so op. I can run pretty much 70 to 101 with out stopping. Or using many shrines. I love to solo on monk in my opinion it's the number 1 solo class. Yes lock is nice but mana rape is real at them levels. On my monk I heal for around 1.5k to 2k from 100 to 125 charges on salvation. And I do 3k hits with double strike with 50 to 60 charges

on lvl 85+ it isnt possible anymore to charge up the heal fast enough to heal yourself up with a monk.. even with a warlock it is hardly possible anymore because a 3 monster wave can easily do like 10k+ dmg total... (this means that you cant just do 1 heal with salvation all the time but you have to use several normal heals in between to give the salation a bit more time to charge up)

casting is atm the best choice for soloing until lvl 101 because the dmg is just higher and the heal is a lot better.. tanking or not you are just eating far too much dmg at lvl 85 or even 90, 95+

possible with melee or casting with great gear and more or less patience but a bit easier on casting

Almost ripped at 102 last night fighting evils. Got matched against two multi hitters. Thanks for the excitement Paul!

Props for exploring @ 102 in HC!!!!

I never had problems with charging up my salvation as a monk, since me and pun both stat 2 abilities it charge up rather quickly, that means u will have like 72 doublestrike + almost 60 salvation at 85
trust me you charge it very fast at that point ^,^

as i said I never go tank armors, always stat armours
like pun said also, his 100-125% heals do 1-2k, mine does 3k ish at least at that point, if i have a 200% it fully heals me ^^

not the best by far, but works great from 71-101

prob was little off about the heals, its more like 2k 100-125% and i think 200% i hit 2.8k-2.9k idk
i dont stat int when i go, so its base, i usely stat 70-80 vit, then do sneaky as well once i get pass
lvl 90ish it does get harder but i usely have enough shrines + salv to be able to go pretty fast

tbh, im not young anymore, so runing 71-101 explore on monk sucks lols
takes a while and i d1ck off to much, but im sure i could do it pretty fast
if i had to. lol anyways just my 2cents
