i had to go dex from the new patch
with warlock being locked on staffs, a dex based weapon
it stands to reason financially, that axe and dagger are now the best choices as a climb set

and to set the record straight i switch from heal gear to melee gear as the group needs
or as the group changes through out the climb

i also fully expect that my monk is gonna slam down some respectable cast numbers
int has to be the main stat as the mana pool is based from this
and lays low both low int characters and half built hybrids


once again

She and I are on the same page. We do things in a similar manner.
With the way I build my monk I can do anything. I can Heal/Melee or Cast/Heal or pure melee or pure heal.
It really all depends on what the group needs.
I have (lately) prefered to cast but sometimes there are already 3 casters in the group. Not a problem, just hit the old vault up slap on some diffrent gear and I am ready to ride.

I used to hate the monk but now I think he is my second favorite char, first being warlock ofc :rolleyes:

Last night I did 70 inteligence and then all in dexterity and it worked aswell. I did more damage but at the cost of less healing and I was great on nmnm aswell as I could back-up heal when was necessary.

For a good hybrid I think you should balance dex/intel as you need to aproach the utility of both so yesterday I had like 70 intel / 165 dex / 50 vita / base str + 32 from gear.

I supose the next try I will go with 120 / 120.

may i ask what your 55 mana pool was at?
since a mq heal is 100? ish mana per use

if u could find the int required to have a 2.5 - 3k mana pool at 55
that would be ideal

My mana pool was 3300 so that's acceptable If you have a decent heal charm.


But my concern is not that much the mana pool as you get that investing some intel points from the begining but the effectivness of my healing. It's the reason I think inteligence can make you shine and with a bit of hm aswell on gear you can be just as good as any heal and do more dmaage then a tank.
