Monk-warrior build!

[Megadeus]

Hey, so I was thinkin earlier,
Wouldn't a build like a (martial arts) monk be SO cool?

I mean, those monks spend so much time increasing their physical and mental endurance, channeling their focus into techniques, and mastering their arts.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a warrior that follows the same ideals?
Like, one that uses focussed attacks, higher defences, and 1-1 fighting?

I see that as the beauty of the (martial arts) monks. Or are they called the Shaolin Monks?

anyways, here's the build I was thinking that focussed soemthing like a monk's style:
MAX Power Strike (the focusing part)
MAX Iron body (the endurance part)
MAX Hp Recovery
lvl 3 Hp Increase
lvl 1 Endure (I don't think they go around resting on ropes)
OR lvl 1 Slash Blast (just to be flashy)

So would it be a safe idea to go with the Shaolin Monk build?
and if so, what would be a cool name for that type of warrior?

bad idea unless you wanna train just for fun and only get to level 30

[Megadeus]

really? I was thinkin the higher defence would let u use Two-Handed weps, but with just as much Defence as using a shield and 1hand.

I'm still waitin on more replies.

[chronozone]

Don't do it you'll be just wasting your time for a none effective character

[Megadeus]

really? :shock:
I don't see how it would be non-effective. :?

[lxAznSpearsxl]

1st you don't have enough HP
2nd 1 to SB or 1 to endure doesn't really help that much(lvl 1 SB 86% damage
other skills are ok

Someone fake voted. Careful now!

[Megadeus]

fake vote? i don't understand.

But, I was thinking the point of maxed Iron Body+Hp Recovery would help cover up the low hp thing.

I'm considering this, along with ur inputs ppl.

its intresting for a chalenge, but its only for fun

[chronozone]

Someone fake voted. Careful now!
not me *points at you*

Sure why not. Also use SB not PS it will be easier to lvl and you will kick more monster asses. Just a thought

[lxAznSpearsxl]

Iron Body only applies 40 more defence(Max Iron Body=steel tower shield. the skills spent on Iron Body works way better when it's spent on HP increase)and when you fight magic monsters it's no use.
HP recovery on works who you stand still and doing NOTHING!!!!!!!!

[RedBlueBandit]

Why can't iron body be replaced with iron guard? Which is similar to magic guard, except this is a warrior skill. :?

monks forcus on hp not defence

at least int he games ive played

[RedBlueBandit]

So you have maxed max hp increase? O_O""""

[Megadeus]

whats iron guard? :?

[BlueNightz]

The build does NOT work. Iron body, like every number adding skill, becomes USELESS. In fact, it makes you weaker, as power guard relies on you getting hit to do damage. Like what everyone else said, it's just a build you could do for fun, but is totally not effective should it be made as a proper character.

really? I was thinkin the higher defence would let u use Two-Handed weps, but with just as much Defence as using a shield and 1hand. My power guard theory is why I wouldn't use one handed swords in the first place.

[Megadeus]

so... well...

recovery was meant to be used as a resting skill, it's not like drain.

so its best just to keep it as a for-fun build huh? I'll try it, and try to make it a page in 2nd job. Just so i get Threaten, to weaken them a lil more.

[BlueNightz]

Errr... I'd do fighter so you can rage. Doesn't it ressemble meditating to increase strength? ^^ Page is worse than fighter in second job without a doubt, but I can't say pages are worse in third job, or better.

Cools, that adds to the idea of focusing your energy!
I'm thinkin about that.

P.S. if I do alert you that I'm takin this build, would anybody on bera mind helpin me train or trainin with me? Or will I just be a solo Shaolin Monk?

[Megadeus]

[Megadeus]

offtopic:
WOOHOO! I finally got one of my topics into the 2 page range!

[pyrofyr]

well first,
this is a bad build because you should have 10SB for it to be effective

also, knight >crusader, page <fighter
so pages pwn fighters in 3rd job trust me man :P
yea i know the whole fighters letting out all that 32k dmg thing well that is with panic on the last orb of combo attack which is the strongest...so don't count on always doung that much or EVEN close to it..

also i would say either page or fighter both seem good...

fighters =meditate for str =rage
page =scare away evil=threaten XD

knights =elemental attacks=Sexy hawt crazy monkageness <_<
crusaders...=who cares...<_<

[BlueNightz]

Just to let you know, threaten sucks.

Even though fighter can't do 32k damage every hit, that's not to say its other attacks are weak, either.

I personally find elemental attacks lame. >.> Reminds me too much of mages.

[RedBlueBandit]

Well... Maybe meditation could increase your attack like a warrior potion, gradually increases power and duration as your lvl of meditation increases. Right? :?
