any tips or suggestions for soloing with a monk or ninja?

my dmg is getting there, but the robes are painful.
should i put any into vit do you think for longer chains? or just focus on mass damage before they can hit me?
iso suggestions.

thanks.

Go hybrid, get ur int up to 50 and stat the rest into str and look for some nice hybrid gear and a nice heal charm

Hybrid is nice but I wouldn't suggest 70 int not 50. 50 is a little low and just not enough healing power.

i would agree with 50 int if you're going to solo the whole way. you'll have enough mana and heal for enough at the high levels to do some chains effectively with the right melee gear

All intelligence and use melee gear... If your chains "stop" at higher lvls, turn to caster instead.
