complete waste

hellurr every1

Note to everyone: never try to solo a whole monk climb. it just takes so fucking long. my chains are about the same length as they were on the paly caster but the kills are far longer / more tedious

on the contrary, i was one hitting almost every monster in the catacombs, getting more actions for it as well, meaning faster exp. i out lvled another guy easily by a whole level!

i mean hitting for 600 is a complete waste at that level if you were 1-hitting most things with an average of 160 - and you still hit for a really low amount sometimes. when youre talking huge ee or early levels i think a consistent weapon is much better.

i reckon tetsu would be much more effective in catacombs if he had a 270ee dagger rather than a sword.

i think someone should help me find a 55 sword for about 100fg with ok EE

What are you talking about Willis?

Okay... what are you doing that is so different... slower?

Just something what I do...

At the start of the climbs I save basically all the junk magical stuff etc for shrining later on at certain levels (lucky I have a Vault space of 50... expensive)
As I get higher and get higher Tier junk for shrining... I swap them over and use the lower ones on occasions...
I heal on next monster as much as I can without healing during the killing...
On occasions when I run out of shrinables (normally around level 60)... I have mana regen gear in my inventory so that I can cast heal and kill...
OR... I have both HM gear and Mana Regen gear in my inventory... I regen my mana up... swap with HM gear... go Arena (set monster level to 1) heal up in like 2-3 casts... change to offensive gear... kill off monster at best MCC... and repeat and so on...

You will find that this works wonders increasing your level speed...
Try it... it is easy...

I messed up, i didn't go enough base int so my heal is pretty useless. it doesn't heal much more than the monsters do. and i probably dont have enough dex either. pure melee probably would have been faster

edit: ah well, just hit 55. lets see if i can chain 10 XD

The stats that I liked the best for my Monk

Intelligence: 50 max (I will be testing this @ 70 later on in another test build)
Dexterity: 80 max (this is sufficient)... 100 max (this I do like... but will test lower on other build)
Strength: Rest... what can I say
Vitality: Base 40

The 100 dex build was awesome in getting good average and higher crit and chance to crit (making average better) = 550 ave/17xx crit
The 80 dex build was still good... just a little lower average and lower crit = 530 ave/16xx crit
Both builds above had 50 Int... kept up a good heal... better with HM etc... I want to test next build with 70 int... more casting less dmg

Int (70)
dex (80)
Str (rest)
vita (base)
_________

Edit: you will notice that sometimes you can get higher MCC than other times... just funny that...
