I use the following skills- salva, Jt, Ps

what skill order and how many skills do you put in each first, i tried to get each to 66?

My Mq is pretty weak, its 101ee 55 focus, how high should i invest into salva to speed my solo at the higher lvls 65+

mainly its about having enough vit at begin and regen gear, i got my monk soloing this climb and i got 80vit to start, then i used my 2 monk skills with salvation as well, i use a 150 lvl 50 heal and i just use it once to heal 1k-1.9k hp with skill 1 time while climbing before i go town to regen, takes prolly 3-4 regens each level, currently lvl 70

regen gear heals me within 30sec- 1min

69 hp per sec

salvation is at 51

my 2 strike monk attack is 66 and other monk attack is 48

last edit i swear: i saw ur hc, might want more vit than that, i was thinking u was sc

just take salvation and either double strike or two hit back

jump attack and powerstrike is both a bad idea. Multiple mobs are a problem and not single mob and mob are not always same column
twohitback or doublestrike always ensure that you will hit 2 mobs and it does good damage even at low charge rates

i personally would also be using jump attack/power strike on solo climbs when exploring (when whistling, use either of meridius's suggestions doublestrike/twohitback)


I personally would /whistle 1 to set monsters to level 1 so i can fully heal against a weak mob, kill and move on so salvation in general isn't required, this is more of a playstyle thing as most people seem to prefer salvation. I find it speeds things up when on explore climbs, manually changing the whistle numbers is just gonna be inefficient for whistle climbs though.
This would also free up another ability or just allow you to charge salvation more betwen uses.

also worth considering putting easy mode on, the main crux of solo'ing at MQ levels is the 3 mob spawn. You generally take significantly more damage than on the dual/single mobs. (/set easy 1), if you decide easy mode is useful, there's no point in jump attack. again twohitback/doublestrike depending on preference.

Either double strike, jumpstrike, and powershot

Or

Jumpstrike, doublestrike, salv

I like power shot for eps and js charges faster as a natural ninja skill. I didn’t feel like two hit back charged fast enough as a robe character towards the end. If you have a nice heal salv is nice. If not then faster kill rate is nice.

1 = Salvation
2 = Retribution
3 = Double Strike or Two Hit Back (I prefer two hit back)

I only use two abilities... Salvation / Retribution... you can make your run a lot faster and easier by using the /set easy 0 and still explore more catacombs faster. If you do NOT want to use /set easy 0, then use Salvation & Two Hit Back (personally hate it now since it changed)

Salvation until in the 60% mark, rest Retribution (or Two Hit Back) when only using 2 abilities.

I don't know your heal or % EE that it has, this could also help in deciding on 2 or 3 abilities or using(or not) /set easy mode on/off.

Test some things out, you may find a way that appeals to you.

This is how I build for solo:

Jmpattck: to 48, then 2htbc to 27, then Salvation to 40, then 2-hit-back to 40 and then rest in Jmpattck to 66
