Thanks for ur help :-)

You are both wrong, ee padded work just fine.

Agree with the offcasters,
It can be done on any class monk included (I offcast all the feeders to monk as well)

Just melee up to 35/40 while stat-ing int then switch to caster gear

There are some really good vita robes around

well... personally i go dex robes till lvl 45 then i have a 169ee lvl 45 padded and a 186ee lvl 55padded to tank :P, works pretty well... but my lvl 45-mq daggers only have like 125 and 150ee, if i had much better weapons maybe id try pure dex??? like if my daggers lvl 45 175+ee and lvl 55 200ee lol

also i raise my vitality to like 80 before going dex, to help having a decent hp pool

i agree, i use EE pad when i solo monk and ninja.

going to give this a try, thanks for all the info in the thread!

it's a balance between speed/survivability. if you can kill faster than you lose hp, the damage is probably more worthwhile as long as you're not getting chunked too hard. this way more kills = more shrineables. i usually swap to ee armor for 70+. entirely gear (weapon) dependent which route you should take, but it's all based on your feel/playstyle.

everyone can tell you what they do and im sure it all works for them to varying degrees but a big variable missing is what your gear is like, everybody has a preferred play style but it's largely predicated on what gear they have access to

i feel like the path you've chosen is probably not the best for you, with a mediocre EE robe and 70 vit you're going to get destroyed and 40int with a bad heal charm and salvation is pointless also. but this is a game of trial and error, that's part of the fun so you'll learn as you go

Yeah that is fair. I will try it out and see how it goes. MQ Gear will be:

119 ee lvl 55 dagger
109 ee lvl 55 padded robe
33 dex charm
113 lvl 55 heal

So the gear is ok, but nothing amazing. I guess does that count as a bad heal charm? Not sure of cut where it might be useable (same with the EE robe)



Yeah makes sense. First time climbing so i will try and it out and see how it goes!
